Description
I was browsing through my old art (which I haven't done in a while; it makes me ashamed to look at it, usually.) and found this. I kind of realized upon looking at it that I was shaping into something at that point, even though likely I thought I was failing more than ever. Truth is, aside from goofy faces saying snarky things at work, I haven't drawn in months. I was cresting upon the hill of hanging up any and all art ambitions I had. I asked myself an important question: am I willing to learn things like backgrounds, spacing, art mechanics, or do I just like to doodle faces and sometimes attach bodies?

The answer was clear to me at that point. I stopped associating myself with the idea of art or stories, and started focusing on my more realistic endeavours. Instead of art, biology was my lofty goal.

But after this, looking at what I have created, how can I just hang it up like a worn old hat? I wasn't perfect, but I sure as hell was better than what I started out with, even what I'd been two or three years before. So what if I don't draw backgrounds? I can keep it as a hobby.

So I'll upload my favorite sketches that I never did anything with and probably won't ever, just to show myself that yeah, sometimes I can produce something better than I thought I was capable of.
