just fucking draw. don’t compare yourself to other people, don’t stop because you drew a lot last tuesday and you haven’t visibly improved. it takes time, effort, and a lot of perseverance. besides, no matter how “bad” you think you are, there’s still gonna be someone who thinks the stuff you produce is the best goddamn thing they’ve ever seen in their entire life. the artist you were five years ago would have their mind fucking blown by the artist you are today. so just draw a fuckton, because every new thing you draw is one drawing better than you were before.

I really needed this post

Trying my hand at shoujo always ended in a hilarious disaster.

Jumping on this post as well, because it is important to remember this at times.

13 year old me would be stoked to see where I am now. It’s really good to look back sometimes and appreciate how far you’ve come. And then imagine how much further you can go when you keep drawing.

Even though I want to laugh my head off at my old stuff… it really is important to look at how far you’ve come in time.
And I think it’s not only good for yourself but for young artists / beginners as well, to see how other artists started out. So they see that no one is a great artist right off the bat.

It has already been eight years wow man.

I know it’s annoying to hear ‘you have to practice’, but that’s really the only way to get it done. I was complete rubbish up until two or three years ago and I’m still improving! Never settle for anything less than what makes you proud to have made it.

Joining the crew, profress is important, keeping your progress even more so!

Personally I love seeing other artists improve, it gives me so much energy and motivation to keep at it. Here’s something from me as well

Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes you take big steps, just don’t give up!

Figured I’d add my progress as well! I know it sounds cliche, but when you practice, you improve:
