Description

Sometimes, the best way to be happy with your work is to look at the past. Then you can give yourself a pat on the back and say "You're so much better now!"
The ages are approximate, since my birthday is in the end of July. xD

2005
Ahh, back when all I had was MS Paint and an ordinary mouse. I at least had /some/ sense of shading, but it was really primitive. Not that I drew things complicated enough to require better shading. Huge ass eyes...

2006
This time around, I had Paint Shop Pro 7, and stuck with that for a while. The Pen Tool was my best friend, and I think this is when I got my tablet. Still with the insanely huge eyes, oversized heads...

2007
A friend of my dad gave me a copy of Photoshop 6, which is when I learned the glory of dodge and burn. @w@ Alot of my drawings became shiny fests, and eyes were still taking up half the face. My anatomy was nothing to be proud of either..

2008
Beginning of my Photoshop CS3 era. THIS is when I started to create some higher quality stuff! I finally learned how to draw clothing folds and slowly becan developping my style. I stopped with the rediculous eyes, made them smaller... My shading improved as well...

2009-2010 (present)
Since I barely drew anything in 2009, there's not much to show.. The only significant image I did in 2009 was the Vampire Lestat. As seen in the last image (Kotone and Silver), I've begun to work harder on my backgrounds.

... You were a much better artist than me at those ages... Give it a few more years and you'll be doing mona Lisa style art. :)
