I usually keep all of them, I doodle a lot in my agenda and in my notebooks and some of them I feel the need to keep, so I keep the notebooks till I can go through them and find the doodles I want :P
It gets kinda messy keeping them all once the pencil starts smudging but it's nice to go back and look at the progress you've made and update them.

I keep em, I've got binders, boxes, and sketch books filled with finished images that have already been scanned. The only ones that have gone bye bye are the ones that got damaged in a flood and started to mold. I really just keep them to keep reminding myself how I have grown artistically over the years.

Well I normally use sketchbooks so after I've gone through that book I label the spine or cover and put it on a shelf. If its paper, I usually scan it and throw it away. I don't normally use large canvases so its never a problem.

I keep all my originals, because I might NEED them sometime! They go into a big box, never to see the light of day again most likely. Although there's one thing I'm working on right now that I love enough that I might frame it when it's done.
If they're a gift for someone I know in real life, though, I usually give them the original.

I actually don't own a lot of the orignal art that I made. Most of the time I give it away because I was never happy with how it turned out. In retrospect, though, I have a very large quantity of art from my friends and other people. I guess it's more memorable for me to own things that they made than things that I made. Maybe I just think it's somewhat narcissitic to cling to my pictures? I dunno. They seem to like my art more than I do, so I like to give it away so that someone else can enjoy it. Otherwise, I would just toss it. And then probably feel bad about it later.

Art is special; it's not something that can really be replicated--provided you're doing your own freelance drawings, like I do. So to throw it away is kind of like throwing away something that can never come back. It's a one-of-a-kind. Super cool. <3

I always keep my art. In sketch books or a portfolio, and if it's CG i print it and put in my portfolio too. A lot of it is commissions, so i keep the file on my computer and send out a print...sometimes i send out the original pencil sketches along with it.

i can't bring myself to toss my art, lol.

Unless there are one of those screw up drawings.

I draw sooooooooooo much that if i kept every drawing i did, my room would be 98% doodles, 1% furniture and 1% room!

But since i'm always trying to improve, i keep my peices for a while (depending on how long it takes for me to lose them) and when i eventually find them, i like to compare how i've improved, then chuck em out. However I have an A4 binder and a drawer for my very favourite peices...but most of my works on DeviantArt

I keep all of mine. And when I get a new sketchbook, I move all of them into the new one. But then again, I don't have all that many drawings. Plus I don't have a scanner anymore, so I can't really put my drawings on my computer.

Depends, really.
I like to keep my work..somewhere.
Just so I could look at it and see how much I've improved.
Sadly,I don't have a scanner, so my drawings are...everywhere, to say the least.
But that's fine with me! But it does cause a problem when I'm cleaning up and I find some of my old drawings and then just look at them and forget about everything else

Depending on size and how good it is, I'll either keep it or give it to someone who wants it. Alot of my friends love my work even though I hate it, there is teh rare ocassion of when I do like my work and want to keep it but like I said, rare.

I keep them all. I don't even usually throw out the abandoned ones.

If they're small and on paper, I put them into a folder. Bigger ones go into one of two giant portfolio things I have. Really big ones get rolled up and shoved in the back of my closet. Anything I do on canvas gets shoved in there too. Sketchbooks usually get shoved under my bookcase.

I think the only things that I throw away are unfinished, abandoned projects. But I end up keeping most of those too, since they came from a good idea I had and might be good for inspiration later. Same thing with the bad ones. Plus, it's helpful to see how far you've come in your work.

I like to save digital copies, too. Call me old fashioned, but I don't trust digital formats too much. They always distort color, and never give you the "true" image (ie, the way it looks in real life). Plus, I always worry that something will happen to it.

Im old school. I keep all of my drawings usually even after i scan them. Its good to have a paper version i think. If your computer breaks down or your accounts get hacked or something u still have ur paper versions to look back on. Sometimes i throw away some of my drawings if it as meaning i dont like anymore. Like when i drew my ex a character. i ended up threwing them away. He was a jerk. but anyway i usually keep all of my drawings. i have folders filled with drawings. i even have drawings my freinds drew for my back when i was in middle school lol

I scan almost everything I draw by hand and put it in a folder after that. Unless it's a very rough sketch or something I will always keep it.

I feel like If I can draw I don't need to keep the proof that I've done it you no? Like I'd rather give it to someone who likes it to make them happy then keep it. Eventually the drawing won't be as important to me because I'll get better then I'll regret not giving it to someone who wanted it when I don't even want it anymore. D;

Aside from that I put stuff I like on Deviant art so if my computer dies I can atleast look back on some of the things I've done. :]

I don't draw that much anymore, but when I do, I always put it in an organized binder with clear page protctors. I put on a label with the piece's name and the date of completion. Painting I take pictures of (same with sculptors) and so yeah :)

I keep nearly everything I draw including doodles. Even things I don't like don't immediately throw out. I like to look over what I've drawn, the good and the bad, in order to improve. When I have a thick pile of drawings stacking up I'll sort them and put them into folders or stuff them into sketchpads. Occasionally I will get rid of older drawings if its not that great and have drawn similar stuff. I don't get rid of drawings just because they are old. I like to see how much I've progressed over the years.

I keep all of my drawings and put them in portfolios and such. And for my favourite's, I display them on my bedroom walls and ceiling. I would never throw one of my drawings away.... Unless it's a drawing that got messed up very bad...
