(For anyone who feels discouraged, this was my first serious attempt at really any art, and I remember being extremely disheartened because it took me close to an hour to draw. People often see any creative art "talent" as something innate, but it's most often not! While I'm still not satisfied with where I'm at, I can say that I've improved, haha. cx)
I know what you're talking about!! ; v; I find it really sad when new artists get discouraged when seeing other people's art, and i see myself in them heheh cx. When I first began drawing digitally, i remember feeling very very frustrated because everywhere I saw better artists, and I just felt like I would never get on their level, no matter how hard I tried. I also thought that their talent was innate, that they were just born knowing how to paint amazing pieces hahah x3 I have grown a lot since then, and I see how wrong I was! And that is just what I want to say to newer artists: just keep praticing. You'll get better without knowing or noticing, I promise.Your favorite artist, the one you always look up to, was just like you! Please, don't give up! ; v ;
And well, since we're talking about our first attempts, I would like to share mine. The one drawn in 2012 was a little drawing i made for someone on CS, and it is one of my first attempts using a tablet. The second one, is my fursona Soviet. This wasn't meant as a redraw, but I noticed they had very similar poses and saw how I had improved.
