Description Okay. I don't ever do memes. But Nick (*bardoftheseas ) showed me his and i was like OMG THIS IS GONNA BE HILARIOUS AND PAINFUL.
so i did it.

in hind sight it is interesting for me to do this, considering i kind of made a full circle XD went from all pencil all the time, all PORTRAITS all the time to all digital and NO reference whatsoever, then after so many years, i finally figured out how to put them together, and I think that is where I feel most successful at present. THANK YOU SAM WEBER AND JAMES JEAN XDDD
also it is HILARIOUS to me that I really started DRAWING drawing because of Harry Potter. XDDD man. I am a nerd times infinity.

Wow, you were really good already as a sixteen-year-old... I feel seriously pwnd and need to draw more despite the fact that I never have time to do so. XD But you seemed to know already then that portraits is your thing, is that right? I always skip between stuff. *n*

Wow! This is amazing! Nerds are awesome! It's really cool how in 6yr spam you could see how your art has improved so much yet has this unique amazing consistency to it.

There is no shame in having artistic second birth because of a worthy fandom. Especially since you've blossomed as an individual so much. You have quite a style.

I like how you accused your last picture of having been done lazily. It sure worked out nice! One man's lazy is another man's brilliant.

haha oh no i didnt mean the image itself was done lazily, i meant that rather than resize the original i just stole it off my own deviantart page, watermark and all XD
That is definitely one piece of mine i would not say i was lazy about haha.
But thank you very much!!!!

Good exercise! Pretty interesting to see your evolution, you really appropriated your art!

Also (since I accidentally submitted that last post unfinished) I would like to say that you are a true artist. I love the emotion in your characters. I feel like I know them, pass them on streets, seen them in crowds... they're just so well-rendered.

Thank you for arting at me.

Harry Potter inspires millions in millions of different ways! You cannot deny that. It took me about three tries to type "Harry" properly because I kept writing "Happy" and weird variations of Happy/Harry... because to me, they're practically interchangeable. Anyhow, your improvement is very evident and very inspiring. Even your start is wayyy further from where I am right now.. I should be ashamed.
