Description Five years of CGing improvement, from really bad to sort of bad.

I deleted some of the more embarrassing older pieces in my gallery, but left most of them for the purpose of showing the gap between my art now and my art in the past.

I hope people find this inspiring to some extent. Anyone can improve. Jiayou! ^^

(Will scrap this later.)

Thank you so much for putting this up so I know that it is not impossible to go from where I am to where you are (it just takes years and hard work but not impossible!). Thank you so much! Great pieces of art! AMAZING~

Flavren In reply to ??? [2009-06-28 15:55:27 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I think the most encouraging thing in art is looking back and seeing your own progress. I stopped drawing for a few months a little while back so theres a huge gap with like 0 improvement, lol. Although, I look at things like this and look at my art from little as one year ago and I'm really excited for my drawing future. I used SAI for a little bit, but I like openCanvas more. <3
Also, things like this make me smile.

My main problem now is trying to figure out how people/you make those beautiful eyes on your guys, ahhh!
Wonderful art. <3

Indeed, anyone can improve with practice. I'm amazed at how well you've improved over the time. It just goes to show that if anyone tries hard enough, they can pull of something amazing :3.

If I look back at some of my older drawings, it makes me want to throw them all away because of how horrible they are XD. But it's taken me actually about a year to get to where I'm at right now. Though it couples with the fact I draw mostly every day '>w>

Did you learn different approaches, OR did you just keep colouring, and eventually you got better?

Blizz-Mii In reply to Adrian-Kun [2009-06-11 03:01:38 +0000 UTC]

I drew rather infrequently, so I'd forget how I CGed, develop a new style, forget style, develop a new style... that kind of cycle. xD; I incorporated new ideas and pointers I observed in art I liked while I developed new methods. :>

Adrian-Kun In reply to Blizz-Mii [2009-06-11 05:37:00 +0000 UTC]

Ohh... What is CGed? xD

BTW, I'd love to learn from you sometime!

Blizz-Mii In reply to Adrian-Kun [2009-06-11 13:27:00 +0000 UTC]

CG = computer graphics = commonly used term to refer to coloring using the computer.
lol, thank you~ I've not much to teach, though. xD

Oh... I tried SAI, but it's too confusing. I have PS CS4.

I wanted to know how to make precise shading on hair and clothing... Like, how at the tips of hair, how you shade. It's very nice.

Blizz-Mii In reply to Adrian-Kun [2009-06-13 22:26:43 +0000 UTC]

If you do celshading and pay attention to details, you should be able to shade hair fine. :]

Adrian-Kun In reply to Blizz-Mii [2009-06-15 04:33:47 +0000 UTC]

Hm. I jut saw that there was a tool tha you could like, highlight the tips of the hair, and then just fill it in the the colour you want... I don't know.

xD

Either way, I love your art. One of my fave deviants. XD

... Did you learn on your own?


...
-cries-
I have no idea how to use PS. TT___TT
-fails at coloring digitally and tradionally-

-will try harder- ;w;
Still, that's alot of improvment.
Specially if you look from your first to your last.

syllphiel [2009-05-13 03:46:01 +0000 UTC]

this is really impressive... this gives me the motivation to explore more and hope to improve at some point...

can I ask a question if you don't mind.... what do you usually do when you're art block or something like that?? do you force yourself to continue???

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Blizz-Mii In reply to syllphiel [2009-05-13 03:55:32 +0000 UTC]

^^ I'm glad it's motivating!

Usually, I just don't draw. ...But I guess that's not true all the time because I'm sort of blocked/feeling shitty about my art right now but I'm drawing anyway.

syllphiel In reply to Blizz-Mii [2009-05-14 03:19:53 +0000 UTC]

i see... so where do you usually get inspiration for your works?? sorry if i'm asking too many questions...

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Blizz-Mii In reply to syllphiel [2009-05-14 16:39:20 +0000 UTC]

Haha, that's fine. ^^
My main sources of inspiration are good art, music, and (less frequently) anime. Good art makes me want to draw better, so I go off and draw... somthing entirely different from what I was looking at. xD; I'm a believer of the saying, "shoot for the moon, because even if you don't make it, you'll still end up among the stars"-- that is, aim high. Make the professional level your goal for art and that should inspire you enough ("pull you up" towards the pros, I guess) to get better. :]
/rant sorry. xD;;
