Description
Not sure if I should submit this on my other account...but then again I rarely use that one anymore so LOL oh well.cp from Tumblr because I'm lazy:
Since I figure thereβs no cure for procrastination I may as well use it to my advantage. So I did this. I think Iβm already regretting it haha.
One thing this meme taught me, if any, was how impatient I have become drawing comics/manga in recent years. I was looking through my cabinets and suddenly piles of detailed and mostly finished manga pages just spilled themselves across the floor, and my god, my patience with inking back then. What happened.

I know what you mean about wanting to drift out of the anime style of drawing...I feel it's preventing me from getting my
Own style xD

hmmmm comparing my progress speed to yours, I should be as good as you are now when I'm about 60 years old^^ Means there'sb still hope for me I guess
-sigh- sometimes I wish I could swap my gallery for yours

When I was twelve, I drew a lot of cubes and buildings, backgrounds and such. I call myself a terrible artist but thanks to you I've gained confidence. ^.^

I'm even that good when you were 15. I'm fifteen and my skills are like yours when you were 13! If not, less. XD

"the period everyone wants to move out of the anime style."
I so relate, haha. I'm currently in this stage right now. I hate submitting into groups and people telling me to resubmit into the manga group after I've tried so hard to change it. >.<

*facepalm* I should really stop looking at these

don't feel pressured to find a style at this age! I find that it'll only create unnecessary stress xD I don't think I've found my own style yet, but I decided I'll just ride along the waves and see where it takes me.

That is AWSOME work and progress You have done so far - and I think You'll get better and better!!
Thank You so much for Your work so far and Good luck with the future! <^'^>

This is most unfair, youΒ΄re 2 years my junior and already 5 double times better. Most unfair... XD But I adore your art so to hell with age.
ItΒ΄s always great to see those progress things over the years and I enjoyed looking at this one! Just love your progress in faces, proportions and, most of all, colours! Really inspiring and uplifting!

People progress at different paces.

Someday, I want to look back and know that I've improved like this.

And at the end of the day, all stylized realism is delicious. *OMNOMNOMS ON YOUR ART*

i totally can relate with the whole, PPG to Naruto to HETALIA and then TV SHOWS. I went out of the anime fandom after that :3 but I still go once in awhile in the hetalia fandom (it was the first place where I started liking yaoi which before was a big no no to me)
π: 0 β©: 0
I've decided I'm going to work really hard, so that a few years from now I'll be able to do one of these, and then maybe see progress as fantastic as yours.
The piece with 11 and the coat over his shoulder is my favourite btw!

π: 0 β©: 1
oh!That's cool
π: 0 β©: 1
oh man, Korean artists are all so talented! ;_; I really enjoy looking through their blogs even though I have no idea what they're saying hahahaha. I should start asking my Korean friends to teach me.
π: 0 β©: 1
you been to naver.com? It would be brilliant if you learn how to speak Korean! xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but I really want to do that more frequently too ;___; but really I cannot read a lick of anything on that site hahahah, but I always see my Korean friends go on that site, and I've seen some reaallly cool stuff there.
π: 0 β©: 1
ya they do have a lot of cool stuff there! It's fairly easy to learn basic Korean. You should learn it

I like it, but I think 2009 and 2010 are better than 2011. A little to realistic for me. 
btw, do you need to have photoshop to do this? I don't get how to connect the pictures.
π: 0 β©: 1
awww yeah im doing something right then LOL
yes, you need PS to do this, the original file is a PSD .
π: 0 β©: 1
FUCK. how do you get PS anyway?
π: 0 β©: 1
hahaha, well, I bought mine xD You can always torrent it as far as I'm concerned~
π: 0 β©: 1
it's...pretty expensive lol. I'm not sure of the current price since I bought mine a few years ago, haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
damnz, I want photoshop though do you know where I could possibly download it? Ive actually been meaning to get it for a few years now.... ;W;
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I know of two ways, one of them is through torrenting, searching in sites like the Pirate Bay. Do you know how to use a torrenting program? Try out Vuze, it's free. The other method is to download the trial version of Photoshop and then scrounge around the internet for the serial key, which you can use to activate the product. Now I'm really not familiar with either options because I bought my Photoshop, so maybe it's best if you look around the interest for better tutorials to do this kind of thing.

"2011:

You were better at drawing at 12 than I am at 17!!! AUGH! D:
π: 0 β©: 0
youΒ΄re 18? omg im 25 and still canΒ΄t draw like that..*envious*
i always like these memes or galleries sorted after drawing date, because it is really interesting to see the development.
π: 0 β©: 1
well technically I'm 19 now, my birthday passed 2 months ago hehe xD thanks hon! But really, if you put a lot of effort into it, you'll be amazed by how much you can improve
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i just have no time to practice anymore, since i have a full time job, a partner and some pets who consume all my time.i was drawing a lot as a teenager, but havenΒ΄t done a single scetch for 3 years now..strange when you think about it, how priorities changed over time...
