I discovered art in 4th grade and I knew my grandpa was an artist so I told these kids at my table *on the first day of school* that I was an artist and so was he..they didn't believe me and asked me to prove it SOB. So i grabbed a white board and drew this horrendous ****ing nasty ass triangle lookin bill lookin ass dragon eye like the furry I was.

AND THEY SAID "WOAH, S̶H̶E̶ REALLY IS!!"

SO I WAS LIKE UHH OK GUESS I HAVE TO DRAW MORE OFTEN NOW SINCE THATS LITERALLY MY FIRST DRAWING EVER.. after that I instantly fell in love with art and my entire class whenever a teacher brought up some artists are amazing at art and others not that good but thats okay, and the entire class would point and say my name as a good artist which made me extremely happy.

I learned how to draw hands traditionally by mirroring my own hand, and I learned how to draw a realistic eye traditionally at the age of 10 my looking in a mirror at my eye and copying down what I saw. However I stopped practicing those things when I was actually really good at it and found digital art, my NEW passion.

My dad and grandpa told me not to EVER stop drawing traditionally cause thats your foundation and your basis. however when I found this site I started to drift away from traditional art and focused my time and efforts into digital.. the next year I downloaded some programs like Gimp, Krita, and Paint tool Sai.

I was like super into Fire Alpaca at first but ended up undownloading it because it just wasnt for me. I put the rest of my studying time into Krita. Study study study was all that I did. On youtube I just watched videos of other artists such as Jazza, I watched tutorials, I watched and still do watch Angel G. because I wanted to learn and draw from my head.

Skip to the next year I wanted to try to learn more about the face and the head...but this year wasn't my best year- even though I uploaded everyday on flipanim and tried krita and gimp, I just felt like I wasn't getting anywhere with my art.

After I got hacked I took a Hiatus and focused on my family and studying. I went back with a friend helping me along side. (beck-o) whom i dont talk to anymore))). I ended up getting better and I saw the improvement. but,,then I got hacked again and made another account.

When I made my other account I used others as inspiration and Jazza also really helped at this time. however things happened and I lost the password. and that takes me to this account. Because I was so upset I was in my 'zone' to try to draw better to become 'unnoticed'

but I ended up getting better at art and you can even watch my progress as an artist shapeshift if you look through all of my old art on this account to the art on this account now. Lately I've been studying the head face and the hair so I can get better at proportions and my own style.

So guys..my advice to you. If you want to be a better artist and develop your own style..take inspiration from others, watch youtube videos, watch tutorials, study study study.and you WILL get somewhere with your art. I know it sounds like studying is boring but it WILL help you. Another thing is, DONT always do digital art, try out new things and new styles until you can incorporate what you like to make your OWN style to make your art unique to the human eye...and NEVER give up traditional art like I did. At the least do a sketch in your sketchbook ONCE A DAY. it will help.
