I'll usually throw out a drawing (outside of a sketchbook) right after I finish it if I think it turned out badly, but I hoard everything else. I didn't start doing that until fairly recently (except for sketchbooks and school projects) so happily I haven't got massive piles of paper in my closet, just a few little ones. xD
I like to go back to old drawings, to look at them with a fresh perspective and to see the progess I've made. :3

I keep a folder with all my old artwork. I keep them in clear plastic sheets, I have art from when I was in kindergarten til now, and I'm 22. My kindergarten-middle school stuff is all shit my mom saved and has in the garage in big buckets somewhere. I'd be curious to pull it out one day. All my stuff from about age 13 to now is stuff I've kept, either on my computer or the hard copies. I like to be able to look at my stuff and see how much I've improved. I spend a lot of time on my drawings, though, and I also use them as a portfolio to get into art schools and get jobs with companies as an artist, so I have to keep all the originals. I wouldn't want to throw away something I spent so much time on though, and originals always look better than what gets scanned, for me.

I usually just store them in this plastic drawer thing that I have. The only time I throw away a drawing is if it's really bad or if it was just some quick random sketches that don't look great.

I used to keep them all. Even nice sketches on lined paper ended up on the pile of drawings in my room... until I needed space and decided to throw out everything that wasn't useful or nice. So, now the drawings I'm really fond of are all in a folder, the rest of them could be in your new recycled paper notebook. x3

I don't finish most of them :P I keep most of them, I lose some of them, I throw away a lot of them :D

I have some notebooks I use to draw and keep them even when they are full (so I can see how much my style has evolved since I started). For the drawings made on separated sheets, except if someone asks for them, I usually scan them and throw them away. They just take to much space, and I can always print them if I want a paper version. :)

My art is usually digital, but I keep all my hand drawn pictures in my sketchbooks.
Which are usually kept under my bed.
Then I can look through them with my friends and laugh at my drawings. It's quite fun actually.

I usually try to keep all of my pictures, which is somewhat easy as most of my drawing occurs in sketchbooks of different size.

Despite shuddering at some of my pictures, I enjoy looking back at them and remembering the stories that I made up as I drew them or the changing designs of people that I continually redraw.

Generally I scan my pencil piccies or save my digital drawings... and store them in an archive folder that I never bother to look at =D

I keep most of my notebooks though. I just don't know where they are =P

Keep them. My favorites I subtley display in my room (such as putting it on a clipboard on my desk) and most others get carefully crammed in a notebook or folder. Sometimes I look through my old drawings and get rid of ones that I don't like and wouldn't benefit from keeping. But I save mostly all of them so I can look back at how I've improved as an artist.

I keep most of my art. I have a stack of sketchbooks in my side drawer and then folders under my bed from different years. I'm really disappointed to have lost my earliest art, back when I was just starting to get away from copying. I miss my Zelda fanart and my crappy dragon pictures. T.T

I tend to keep everything I sketch for a few months, until I REALLY hate it. Or, if I feel like I can fix it up, I try to do that. Or, more often, I give away my pictures to my friends that want them.

After getting them scanned they either go into a box covered in trace paper to keep them smudge or they go into a binder due to how I have my drawings I have space to safely three hole punch them. However most of my stuff go into the boxes and I have them separated as color and black and white from large to small images that fit the box. Then comes the folder system, I normally am not a organized person this is one of the few areas I will be anal about.

I can't believe you throw away your art!!!:insane:

I always keep mine, either boxed away, some I frame, some is laying against a wall.

Up on walls, just all over my room. :]

I stash all my art in folders i keep in a nice binder.
Most of my art I can to the computer, so I have it on file in case anything happens.

I don't draw people, just still like and like little designs. Whenever I draw something I keep them in a folder.. if they aren't that great I'll just throw the away, but I try to keep them.

There's the one drawing of a still life that I did and it's hanging in the living room, so I sometimes frame it.

I keep 'em if I drew good, I throw it out / don't save it if it's on the computer or on paper.

Usually, if good enough, I do the following:

Put it on dA
Upload in on Photobucket
Keep it in my files

If I don't like it I just put it behind a drawing in my art folder.
Buuuut if I really like what i've drawn, I would scan it on my computer, lineart it and CG it C:

just recently i threw away 6 sketch pads that were full of my old drawings it was taking up space. but before that i tore out the drawings i wanted to keep and stuffed them in my drawing folder. i have stuff there ever since i was in grade 5 O_O i can see how much my drawings have changed.

I tend to keep them.
I like to look back on them later and wonder where I can improve.
I have some from three years ago, and looking back on them really gives me confidence that I am improving.
Plus I've always been told by the art department to keep every piece of work I ever do, because you never know when you need to refer back to them.

If I'm just doodling on my Tablet, most end up being unsaved, though if I'm working on a piece or art work, I tend to keep hold of it in my folders till I can find the time to finish it.

The end result is they will filed on a page and sent in to get me a job in the art field.

Before this happens ( due to quality issues), they will be filed in binders and held until the time comes where I can either fix my scanner or afford to buy a new improved one.
It's difficult to achieve the level of quality I want to see. My goal is One hundred high quality pictures all ready to be sent. THEN is when I will start to apply for jobs in the field.

I tend to separate drawings I consider hobbyist quality from better quality into different binders. Of course hobbyist quality is worthless to me in the long run. I wish I didn't produce any hobbyist quality work anymore. I wish I could produce higher quality consistently.

Sketches go onto another pile and simply sit on the shelf until I have decided what to do with them.

I draw in my sketch book, and can't seem to find the hear to throw them out. The avatar art I've done is stored in a folder on my computer desk because some of it is colored in pencil, and the sketches always have an air of perfection to their line quality that the digital copy can rarely match.

sketchbook X3 those i keep..those on paper after i scanned them..lets just say i dun keep track of them nemore XD;;;

Well once all pages in my sketchbook have been used I will chuck them out :angel:
but sometimes if my friends happen to see the sketch book, they will tear up certain page and keep it for them xP

Oh, wow, I totally freak out the people I know when I spend "x" amount of time drawing and then just crinkle up a paper and throw it away... ha ha ha... I really only keep finished drawings that have been inked, and they sit in their respective tablets for flat safe keeping. Usually what I draw and ink by hand gets scanned in and colored digitally, and all of those files are saved away and sometimes printed. Needless to say, I am drowing in paper...
