Im Crying Why Is My Old Art So Bad This Is From When I Was 11 When I Was Just Starting Digital Art On

how we feeling about my old art 😭

this was 5 years ago crazy to think how much I've improved!!

sometimes (most of the time) i look at my old art and just think... why?? why that neck? why the legs?? why that chin? why that hair?

the classic "i dont wanna draw hands" pose

the eyes are staring at me

the lineart is a bit... rough in places

man i drew WAY too hard wtf i can see all the erased lines why did I press my pencil so hard

dont be discouraged if your art looks like this currently, you will get to where you wanna be, I know I sure did, and a few years is actually quite short to make such a large improvement

lasso tool carried this whole drawing ngl

wait... did i eat

WHY DOES TUMBLR NERF MY IMAGE QUALITY I don't spend time on detail for nothing

im working on adding random colours and stuff I love adding colours but sometimes it just looks bad idk HOW DO THE MASTERS ADD THE WHOLE RAINBOW IN A DRAWING AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD

erm... just realised i never draw makeup and the only makeup I know how to draw is 2016 makeup 😭

i love rendering eyes and adding reflections for no reason

blue and orange is the goat combo of colours why do they always look good together

i cant stop adding crazy amounts of detail to my drawings I love details sm

its less shiny and low contrasted than my usual stuff but idk I was lowkey going for more flat colour I just wanted to do something a little different

i do implore you to zoom in everything I'm proud of is at the microscopic level

also lowkey looks like asha that was not my intention I swear

Hii I love your art :>

Do you open art trades by any chance? ^^

lol, i have multiple posts plus my pinned saying my art trades are still open. so yes lmao

feel free to DM me if you're interested in an art trade! (goes for you and anyone else)

not taking anymore asks for donations

i have gotten many asks recently from people in need, but I am always worried about people who take advantage of this sort of thing, so I will not respond to anymore asks. i do take it upon me that for anyone who sees this, to donate to charities and verified gofundmes! also... i do not have any money or myself, so I cannot really provide for anyone, not to mention i don't have many viewers as I just created this blog. to the people who want to ask me for donations, I'd reply or ask bigger creators, where others are more likely to see it

i may turn off asks if i keep getting many

LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I LOVE BEING ALIVE

who leaves that much money on the ground??? i'd never drop even a dime man

when ppl ask me where i get my income... the ground is my employer I'm jobless allowance-less always have been, lowkey leeching off my family but I have to finish my education first its not my fault

Man with threatening note shot, killed by Oregon trooper at Salem airport

A man was shot and killed by an Oregon State Police trooper at an Army training center at the Salem-Willamette Valley Airport on Thursday mo

please share the linked post to spread awareness!! Matthew Walter Wong was unjustly killed by police on 27/2/25!

more OCs I created when I was 9 (these are a bit later than some of the first ones I posted, you can tell because the designs are more complex) these are all from a superhero team, except the blue hair skirt girl

i dont know whats with the yeti her name is devil apparently and she likes everything (actual note I wrote idk)

would you believe that the girl with the black bob is some sort of weird knockoff of... cleopatra idk how but I listed her weakness as romans??

well this one took a more reasonable amount of time... 5 hours 😭

i loooove my square canvases man its the easiest way to do composition

ive literally just discovered the hack for shading and drawing hair and clothes and i cant stop thinking about it, it's so easyyy

Sunny, character by Alarming-Highway-584 on Reddit

LETS GOOOO first drawing of jayden/zun qiang i have on here

starting off strong man i dont think (im 80% sure ngl) that i will hate this immensely in the future, unlike how i feel in regards to my other drawings of him...

if you know jayden from my reddit or artfight account... no you dont ignore EVERY old art piece of him ever idk what i was thinking

sid the sloth... if you know you know

erm... sevika kinda bad

searched her name on tumblr and im glad I'm not the only who likes her lmaooo some of you down bad more than I am

this isnt a good drawing we dont talk about it... literally anytime I wanna draw fanart I just cant cuz I feel like it wont be as good as the show 😭 sooooo enjoy extremely bad fanart of any fandom I'm in

also idk what her outfit is thats way too complex (I say with my own ridiculously complex OC designs for a COMIC of all things)

puma guy reference for my artfight i gotta draw more of these but they're kinda a pain but they help me figure out stuff about the character!! lock in their proportions and stuff so I draw them consistently and know what I'm doing

i hate drawing symmetry i mean im not aiming for it to be perfectly symmetrical cuz that's creepy af and unnatural and some elements of his design are purposefully asymmetrical (barely noticeable but his eyebrows for example I hate how I put small details no one will ever even see or think about)

but this took so long to correct i was constantly flipping my canvas… now I'm thinking about how I'll have to do like 9 more of these and probably have to redo them by july cuz I'll have improved and will hate my old art

crossing my fingers that i can just do small edits or liquify by the time artfight happens I don't wanna have to redo everything

my most masculine OC has unicorn toothpaste hair

lowkey cooked when i made his design I love purple he's literally just a flipped version of jayden though

i been so stupid, complaining about tumblr's horrible compression, but it turns out... it was cuz I was accidentally exporting all my drawings as jpeg 😭

obligatory repost of this image i cant believe the very first appearance of him and his OG design is a badly sewn cat plushy

rn i have THREE mangoes!!!!!!!!!!

now i have two mangoes....

sad update: no mangoes
