Art retrospective! 2000-2011

[jour]

Hoooly shit so I was about to reblog a "share your old art" thing on tumblr but then I got to digging around on my oldest external HD for my old art and I've just been looking through it all evening. Memories! It made me really want to do an art retrospective. I mean it's been almost 6 years since I did the last one, so I think it's time for an

Great to see how much you work has matured, yet retains it's own personality!

I absolutely LOVE these "art progress" memes. :D
lulz, love the leap from 2004 to 2005....can you remember all little discoveries and epiphanies along the way?

Maybe I should do this too. XD I have some really terrible art from back when I first starting posting shit online...Oh, and my first sketchbooks!! I haven't thought about those in a really long time...Though I'd have to wait till summer to scan those in...I remember I only drew three things: copied art from manga, dinosaurs, and fuzzy animals. lol.

love the WIP, and the sketch from 2009..holy shiiit! <3

(Also, I think I'm at level you already reached by 2005...:'D Awwww man, that haaaand <3)

I love these memes toooooo! You should do it :D It's always fun to see the progress you've made at a glance. And soooo nostalgic, I remember what influenced me each step of the way, the fandoms, the fads (omg I was SO into goth stuff around 2003-2004) hahah good times :) I feel like my style fluctuated a lot in the earlier years because I kept getting influenced by different artists (went through a huuuge CLAMP phase) but hopefully it's stabilized a bit now?? :'D

LOL @ "I remember I only drew three things: copied art from manga, dinosaurs, and fuzzy animals." <33 Before I discovered anime/manga I used to only draw horses because I LOVED HORSESSS I wanted to live on a horse farm when I grew up :') oh childhood

OH my gosh these are just SOOOOOO Cool. I got so distracted going through yours because I suddenly wanted to go through all my old crap because it's been a while. o_o God I was bad. I keep wanting to do one of these though, and it takes me forever. >u<;;

I think the most interesting thing about this type of memes sometimes is seeing what people's earliest styles were? Because often times I find that more then 1 person have a similar beginning style and then wildly different styles from each other later on. It's like...an artist evolution chart! o3o So cool! Also, YOU DREW http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v188/Maddiemax/sasunaru.jpg !? I totally remember seeing this on DA so long ago and really liking it, haha, oh my gosh the world (or is that the internet?) is a small place. *w*

I'm still oogling the leaps you've gone through, like between 2007 and 2008. Mannnn you're just so amazinggg. *_*

omgggg please do this also!! I love seeing people do these :) hehe it's kind of a neat activity to embark on, got really nostalgic going through all these ; u ; MY CHILDHOOD~

oh god did you go through so many style changes?? I went through soooo many changes I don't even know who I am lol :T

also...whoa, weird?? did not know that sasunaru pic was that popular u_u oh man, I can't believe you remember it! haha DA is a small place I think...

Gah! YES! It's on my list! >A<;; But it is really awesome!
Actually, I have this giant folder full of work from 6th grade and onwards,
and what I did with it for a longg time is that I'd go back once in a while and re-draw whatever was there. So you can see how I progressed. I ought to find a scanner one day for those. =A=;

I dunno if I went through a lot of style changes, apparently not THAT much? Well according to a friend of mine who had followed my work since forever. xD; *shrugs* Though it does look ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE when I first started gawd. I do wish I had scans of my work from kindergarden and elementry school, that would REALLY be the whole improvement meme right there. XDDD I just remember I used to trace off books all the friggin time. xD

I just remember seeing it really clearly. o3o The thing that I've always liked about that drawing in particular it is the bright colors. *w* But haha yeah, DA can really be a small place sometimes. xD
