Description
The past 5 years of struggling with my art have paid off. I can see my improvement and it just makes me excited for the next 5 years.
Yes I traced for poses the first couple years I was on deviantart. It helped me learn and I recommend it to anyone starting out.
I hope this inspires someone.

I'm an International student from Indonesia
I'm enjoying AI a lot, though I'm still adjusting to juggling homeworks. I tend to ignore my essays for history and Critical Thinking when working on the artsy homeworks.
Friends... A few. I'm not very good at socializing

This among the most drastic improvements in style I've seen, and in such a short period at that! Tout this to all the [temporarily] talentless headcounts hanging around DA who post only screenshots and recolors like twits. It's like the nerd who gets the sand kicked in his face, if he can do it anyone can [link]

You are so fantastic. I basically just started to learn how to color. When I first started to draw, I was afraid of messing up with colors, so I never colored. only last year and this, have I managed to color. ^o^ 6 years for me! I'm excited for the future as well! ONWARD!!

when i first started i was scared to color too. and my colors were ridiculously bright. remember that when choosing colors it's nice to save the brightest colors for the striking part of your image like eyes or your main subject instead of having brights on everything. good luck with your coloring!
