Description
I guess this speaks for itself...
Some portraits I made in the years from 2001 'till... well... last month!
I hope this encourages people to create the things they like, whether it's drawn from reference images or just totally made up.
Sorry for the low quality. I can't post a high res version of this thing right now because my internet connection is terribly slow since last week. And my internet provider says they'll fix it within 2 weeks. Grrr!!!
If you want to see an old version of a 6 year progress, check this out:
From 2002 to 2007
Take care people. Sorry if I haven't replied your messages yet (the notes about this 3gp converting included). I'll read and reply them as soon as possible. ):

Umm.... I spent a while trying to decide which group I come in and I think it's somewhere between 2002 and 2003. Shame on me!!! Though I have improved alot in the past 3-4 months so I aim to be around 2004 by the end of the year but to be higher would be great!!! It's very interesting to see how someone as great as you started out!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Very nice progressing.. I started to draw this kind of pictures about two years ago. And I'm maybe like you (almost) in 2004.. : D Gotta keep on trying...

This is awe inspiring. I believe I am in your 2003-2004 stage but I am steadly improving...seeing this gives me a reassurance that I will eventually progress. You are a great inspiration and do not ever quit drawing. You have great natural talent.

Wow, this really helped me so much. Seeing you go from that first picture to the last picture, and the huge change that went with it really amazed me. I know so many of my friends will appreciate this too. The 2002-2007 version also helped me as well. You are proof that practice makes perfect! :'D

I'm so jealous. I really need to start getting more practice in with my portraits.

Wow, thanks a lot. I really needed this kind of inspiration. I'm in a stage where I'm starting to lose faith in myself but this raised up my spirit a bit.
Keep on with the great work
Greetings

I definitely wonder if getting good like you will ever happen to me lol I get so discouraged when I draw ugly faces
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol don't be 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you used to get discouraged when you were drawing like you did back in the day, when you weren't as good as you are now? I mean I can spend hours on a piece and get really mad because its not as great as some peoples' are and they've spent hours on it too. Oh boy, perfectionism and art doesn't work out HAHA.
:hugs: I like to try and think you're my inspiration but sometimes its hard to believe I can go from what I am to super good like you someday. It just doesn't seem possible haha, just lke it doesn't seem possible you used to draw like I do haha.

hmm... if i were to rate myself using your drawings, i'd be somewhere between your 2004 and 2006 stages. I can do the stuff, i'm just lazy as hell and lose interest in my drawings too quickly.

You can really see how much you've improved over the years. I can't wait to see how this next year pans out.

I bet this is very inspirating for all of us.. to see how far you've come since you've started! I know I'm inspired!

I'm of course, echoing what everyone else has said here. This has been a truly inspiring way of showing what talent and persistence can bring. Thank you so much for truly being an inspiration...

Wow...great work...I like the way you displayed it. It has motivated me to start drawing again. Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You are so amazing, I'm not even sure that you realize it. You are the top reason that I've decided to finally work on my pencil skills, instead of saying "wow, I wish I could draw like that". If you can do it, I can too! Thanks so much!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad this encourages you to pick up the pencil again and draw draw draw
Thank you!

Just one more comment in the mass ....
Very good progression ( i'm quite jalous ^^ ), specially on the 2003-2004 period.
I wanna post by the way a kind of global comment on all your gallery. I love all your arts, but I don't fav' anyone because, if I do that, i'll have to fav' all of them. Bravo à toi ^^
PS : love Dr. House, Lord of the Rings, manga .... too
