1. stay on topic: only post your progress, or views on other peoples progress. keep the chatter/randomness out of this thread, thankyou 2. follow the TOS 3. don't stretch the page ^^' 4. don't be mean to other people because their art isn't as good as yours/is better than yours 5. don't put yourself down. Everybody can get better, even you, with your low self esteem ;) 6. use thumbnails or textlinks to avoid stretching the page/be gentle with the dial-up internet that some users may use. |
Copied and pasted from guild on gaia... If the thumbnails are too much for the page, I can change them to text links :3
XD the oldest pics I have online/in digital format are from around 2003 so here goes: Pre-2003 Before I got into anime and discovered the internets I mostly did stillifes and animals o__o;;... the only training I had was through the chinese school I went to.. we'd spend an hour or so every week doing still lifes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1..._Birdie_03.jpg 2003: Possibly the first 'Anime' picture I ever did... I copied (by eye) a picture of belldandy and added the flowers/border to it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1..._Belldandy.jpg I soon found out that my human anatomy/proportions were HORRIBLE :rofl: since all I'd drawn up to then were... vases and birds... :rofl: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...China_Girl.jpg Late 2003 - I joined deviantArt and was really inspired by some AMAZING artists I found there *__*;; Early 2004 - I also joined Gaia... and quickly joind an art shop... though I had NO IDEA WTF I WAS DOING 8D... Joininng DA and Gaia really made me push myself further after seeing all the other artists... I was also taking my first official art class in high school at the time so there was a HUGE improvement during this period... also TONS OF EXPERIMENTATION <3 here's some art from late 2003-early 2004: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...__Pierced_.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...utterflysm.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...Realism_01.jpg First Gaia Commissions: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...titled-1sm.jpg Late 2004 - Early 2005: I was an RO addict during this time and didn't produce any art :emo: Summer-Late 2005: o_o I had no computer or net access for a while so I got back into art and re-discovered gaia... I also made a new DA account for a fresh start. I also discovered that I loved watercolors *o*! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../th_gates4.jpg December 2005: I finally bought myself a tablet XD... but I also got re-addicted to RO so no art for a while again >__>;; May 2006: XDDDDD finally... my first real CG pictures :3 (it only took me 5 months to figure out that a tablet =/= touchpad) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...xperiment1.jpg The first of my 'squishy chibis': http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...th_fishy2s.jpg July 2006 o_o;; I finally finished a picture that I'd started november of 2005... I had intended to watercolor it but after I put in so much work on the lines I was afraid to ruin it so I went ahead and CG'd it... o_o;; and somehow it became a daily deviation on DA.. o_o;; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1..._by_Tirael.jpg From then until now I just had more evolution in CG I guess :rofl: I also started practicing my pencils again because my messy sketching frustrated me to no end... And I also got back into a b/w kick: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1..._by_Tirael.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1..._by_Tirael.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...h_violetbw.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...h_kazencil.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../th_Kalec3.jpg THE END. AND I LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER... (hopefully) P.S. I hope to continue to improve in the future ;3 <3 |
hi am new here and i need to make some gold so hi !!!
i draw avi art but i dont have a scanner ! :( bummer ! |
Tirael: the thumbs are fine! and what an amazing progress!
|
so how else do you make gold accept by posting ?
|
whay does no one answer me ? :cry:
|
Aleeria: you can make gold by posting or selling things like art or other services.
This is really the wrong place to be asking though and you're kinda offtopic :F.... not to mention double posting... joke-mus: I wish I had even older pictures to show X'D And I could have posted more early pics but they were too blinding. Personally I don't think I've improved that much since 2005... I mean there's been some technical improvement but I might have gotten less creative and experimental T__T;; |
ok thanks !
i wish i had a scaner though ! :? i have to go now though bye ? |
hmyes... it's like the technical p art is suffocating the creativity ^^'
i kind of know the feeling too |
X'D... Mmm yeah that happens a lot...
Another problem might be because I haven't really had time to do personal art... ah well. I think I'm... somewhat happy with where I am but I really want to get a lot better *___*;; Bai Aleeria~ and you can always try using a digicam or going to a library to use a public scanner :F |
kk thanks bye youve been much help !
|
Hehe ^^ Well, I can show two of my pic, from my begginning on the web and a recent one :
Blue elven <-- December 2005 Dark elf <-- December 2006 So, only one year of difference... I don't have any scan of before that. Well, It think I improved a lot anyway, during this one year ^^ My website or my deviant gallery have more intermediare pic but those two are already enough to show some progress. |
WoW! huge improvement between the two pictures *O*;;
Especially since the subject matter is similar so the skill you show in the second one can really be compared to the first. EVERYTHING improved drastically in the second :'D including anatomy, perspective, coloring, lines, expression, background, and pose X'D.... Really awesome <3 |
i have to agree on Tireal on Gainaspirit's art ^^
you're still using 'your's style, but it has changed in a dynamic, good way! ^^ |
Thanks ^^ I tried to push myself a lot during the last year, doing more anatomy perspective things and adding some dynamic to change from always standing stance ^^
|
and it sure showed off! :D
*note to self: need to push myself more into dynamic drawings :o* |
I don't have anything from before May 2006, which is when I got my tablet... >_> Oh well, here goes--
May 2006 - I think this was my second piece with a tablet. XD; I was soooo proud of it... agh. June 2006 - First attempt at a digital painting. I was proud of this one, too. >_> Oh god, I used a drop shadow under the teeth! XD July 2006 - My first commission. THE GRASS TOOL, IT BURNS! Photobucket resized this one. ;_; August 2006 - A remake of the piece from May. Early January 2007, mid-January - Speedpaints of two of my original characters. Late January 2007 - Again, two original characters of mine. February 2007 - Not very happy with this one, but I do like how the mountains turned out. I spent all of March on a hiatus of sorts, so I don't have any completed pieces newer than that, except for a couple of traditional things I put in a thread here. At the moment I'm working on an acrylic painting. :3 |
Haha. There's a pattern, when the style is improved, it's cleaner and very very good. x3 ^^

Man, I love threads like this! It's so much fun seeing how people've progressed and it kind of reminds me that everyone starts somewhere! So becoming good is not out of grasp!
I do have some way-old stuff from 2003. My first ever digital work! Hee hee...it's kind of funny! Here's one I dug up - her boobs! lol- 2003: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...lorsmaller.jpg And a few from 2004 (Hee hee...loved that leaf brush, can't you tell?): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...__for_Emme.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...alienarose.jpg And then 2005: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...alienarose.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...alienarose.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7..._alienaros.jpg Biggest leap in skill happened here, thank goodness! I got tired of always saying, "Man, I wish I could paint like that" and decided to just do everything I could to learn! So I pretty much stopped doing the colored linework thing and went to lineless digipainting. I'll still do linework every once in a while, but stick mainly to lineless for my serious stuff. I feel much more freedom with it! 2006: http://www.twofrequencies.com/copdri...bincontest.jpg http://www.twofrequencies.com/copdri...02/evalie1.jpg http://www.twofrequencies.com/copdri...osewinter2.jpg 2007: http://www.twofrequencies.com/copdri.../skycities.jpg http://www.twofrequencies.com/copdri...002/queen1.jpg And my latest! http://www.twofrequencies.com/copdri...02/mermaid.jpg So, for 4 years time, I'm pleased! Still got a long ways to go, though! |
