Thanks to everyone for following the whole WIP. I stuck them all together in one file, and I've also added my QFI (quest for improvement) pic, to see the difference a couple of years can make!
Wow, that's really impressive and very inspirational. Accioslash pointed me here after I drew a silly drawble for Snarry100. I think she intended it to be a way of giving me hope. *g* So, did you take a bunch of classes after Nov 05, or was it all just practice and more practice? I think I would need advice from someone, you know? Anyway, amazing work, and very cool to see! :)
Oh yes, this SHOULD serve as an inspiration to one and all!
I've only taken a couple of private art lessons in the two years, and mostly, they were more like personal critiques. I called a local art store and asked if they had anyone who was willing to teach privately. It took some calls, but I finally found someone who would do it. He showed me the types of tools that he used (very helpful) but mostly he looked at my (very crappy) stuff and showed me how to take it to the next level.
He actually wasn't even a great artist (I'm honestly, muuuch better than he is, now) but he was much more experienced, so his advice was very helpful.
I draw a LOT. Practically every day. Not because I want to practice and get better (which I do) but because I really, really love it. I think ANYONE could learn to be really good, if they practiced enough.
