Description

Oh man...
I have wanted to do one of these and now that I am gazing back at my old art I am pretty embarrassed :blush:
1998-1999
To be honest I am totally guessing when these were drawn. I remember distinctly that I got into Sailor Moon in 98’ and drew her every chance I got. I also bought a pokemon book in 99’ and I drew everything out of that book that I liked.
Distinguishing features, no necks. Ahahahah!

2003
Where it started to pick up being noticeable. Between 2000 and 2003 is when I started to create my own characters. This project stemmed over the years and was when I created over 287 characters. It was also the year that I started writing a lot, and book covers were my thing. Ahahahah!
Distinguishing features, Sailor Moon eyes!

2004
More and more original characters. I created characters from ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that I saw.
Distinguishing features, winks and one eyes! And HUGE boobies! On EVERYONE.

2005
Lots of anime influence still. I drew lots from references of pictures that I liked. It was also a year that I picked up a story known as “Heartbreakers and Demon Slayers” and designed costumes for that story like crazy.
Distinguishing features, HUGE boobies!

2006
The only things I could dig up from this year were the things that I did in the paint program. I did a lot more writing this year than I did anything else.
Distinguishing features, squiggle hair!

2007
Wanted to break out of the anime eye style and create my own look. Tried to do some more realism. Worked heavily on my Sirius story concepts and mostly OC’s. Still referenced poses from images that I liked.
Distinguishing features, Slanted eyes!

2008
Started playing around with acrylics. Was also the year that I started working on creating my story “Pure Darkness” so sketches of Darcy and Alicia showed up this year. Did lots of sketches of my Egyptian couple, and drew a lot of Shiva and Dyson.
Distinguishing features, more round eyes, acrylic paints.

2009
Trying to get more realistic this year. I drew a lot of busts and colored with my prisma colored pencils. This year I tried to focus on OC development and also drawing two eyes on the same portrait! So hard >.<
Distinguishing features, big lips and awkward eyes! Colored Pencil drawings!

2010
Bought my first tablet! :heart: (Bamboo Pen & Touch)
Drew a few things with my tablet and ended up getting discouraged and gave up on it a bit. Drew A LOT of sketches from my stories. Filled many sketchbooks with my sketches of my characters and scenes from my stories.
Distingushing features, more natural eyes, lots of scene sketches.

2011
Picked up digital art a bit more this year. Was invited to take place in :iconnewsha-ghasemi: ‘s first speed paint challenge! Learned A LOT from that and decided to play around more with my digital art. Started to upload my sketches done traditionally and colored them digitally on my computer.
Distinguishing features, scratchy digital lines, beginner colors.

2012
Learning more and more about digital with the help of friends and tutorials! Tried to draw more fullbodies this year, and did a lot of OC development and designing. Even have tried to paint without any lines! So much fun, but also hard to make look right! Wanted to try some more backgrounds and did a bit of a butchered job. But I hope to improve more and more as years come!!! :love:
Distinguishing features, colors! Consistent style?

:new: 2013
Still pushing myself on the digital aspect. Using tutorials and brushes to help add more interest to my work.
More digital lining and trying to get away from traditional lines and digitally coloring like I had been.
Worked more on forcing myself to draw full bodies and even dabbled a bit with backgrounds! Looking forward to more improvement, but sadly I don't see a whole lot from last year to this year...
Distinguishing features: Colors, and I don't see much else consistent! ahahhah!

Thanks for viewing!

Its great to see how much you improved - it is a lot about effort and hard work. But also thanks to your creativity and creative drive I think (speaking about designs and thinking up stories).
