Description Heh, Always knew I wouln't scrub up too well in an 'improvement over time' meme but it was quite fun to do Noticed I have an inclination for chubby noses- yay!

I'm relativly consistant with my colouring, bright/pastal faded combo thing however I don't think I really have a 'style'. Like, could you just see one of my works and know its mine? Perhaps with colour but less so on linework. In a way I like it, I love trying different styles, but I haven't settled and will often try and emulate styles I like.

I just go a bit generic... I need to really think about why my people are there rather than 'oh thats a nice face i've drawn... now lets do a body. Okay shes standing there, cool, cool, now for some pinks and blues' XD

Kinda sucks to have my most popular deviations done in 05/06!

As for 2010: I WANT TO GET BETTER!

humm...so your teacher said that anime and manga aren't art,huh?then why didn't you punched your teacher? -u-

it is rated as art,so your teacher can go die in a hole or something xD this isn't to look negatively or anything,is just a personal expression and seriously,your teacher could learn some stuff on to respect the students and just a small question,did your teacher made fun of you for simply liking of anime and manga?
is just a question,I don't know if you actually stated that in the post,but I'm too lazy now to even sit myself in a different position so that my foot doesn't falls asleep,but either ways if your teacher actually made fun of you,you could had reported it(I don't know his or her gender)to the principal,whether you know or you don't know a teacher CAN'T Touch the Student and it CAN'T make fun of it.and so it is of the student to the teacher,it is an educational law.well at least in my country...I dunno how it is in the United Kingdom...wait,all countried whithin the UK share the same laws,right? O.O

I literally don't know anything(not even how to wash myself xD) so I seriously don't know that and.....basicaly this is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(xD)yyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long,so I just hope anything I wrote here made you laugh or anything owo have a cute day =3

I look at this and it gives me lots of confidence.
I always think that "Wow I must be stuck here. There isn't much chance that I can improve and become an amazing artist."
But then I look at this and I realise that everyone can become amazing, even if they start off small.
Thankyou for giving me the confidence and determination to keep drawing once more.
If I look at my old art, even now, I already see so much improvement. It's kind of scary, but it makes me really happy.

Funny how you mentioned that you didn't think you had a style because the moment I scrolled down to 2008s pictures I was like "wait a minute..this looks like DestinyBlue!" I totally recognized your art even from 2 years ago x)

I do have a question though, if you didn't use photoshop... how did you color all of those masterpieces?

i started watching you in 2005 when i found the fruit babies, and i liked the banana girl in 2006 very, very much. altogether i'd say i prefer your digital artwork, but apart from that... keep it up! if you feel like you haven't improved, consider that you've switched from digital art to copic markers, that's a world of differenes there. everybody needs a lot of practice for that.

sorry i'm writing this now, i'm not on da very much anymore.

i too think that your pictures are somewhat generic. that might be why the deviations in 05/06 were the most popular - they were new then. but you seem to know what's happened, so keep it up. i'm excited to see how your work turns out.

DrawWithLaura In reply to DestinyBlue [2010-02-17 16:37:44 +0000 UTC]

Oh O.o so when you said "Open canvas" do you mean the program, or do you mean you actually drew the pic on an open canvas? XD

Yeah, your 08 stuff is amazing ^^ I'd love to see a not-cute pic from you. Like a normal anime one, cause it'd be awesome to see the amount of detail you could add. But, your cute style is... well... YOU ahaa, so it'd be weird. Am I rambling O.o I cant make my point ahaa. Oh well, keep up the good work ;;;;;

DestinyBlue In reply to DrawWithLaura [2010-02-17 16:56:37 +0000 UTC]

heh, yeah, opencanvas as in the program: [link]

I do find it hard to do non-cute stuff XD even my evil stuffs cute I do find the trouble is if I just do a normal anime piece it seems quite generic and i'm worried of being 'boring'

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DrawWithLaura In reply to DestinyBlue [2010-02-17 17:08:06 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes. I actually quite hate the average anime style. How ever perfect it is, with porportions and what-not. Its still boring. v-v


Open canvas... is it free O.o
And does it have a pen tool? Because I cant do line arts with my photoshop, cause it doesn't HAVE the pen tool T-T

You seem to improve in great leaps! Still, you could practice drawing guys. It helps a lot, in my opinion. (I draw them, but they're still not good enough to post!)

I can see your style~ you know how? The way you draw the facial structure of your characters. The eyes also, and that one character of yours with the flaming red hair, the girl in 4th panel 2006 and 1st panel 2009. I like her alot.

Thanks- I love drawing that girls hair 0.
Actuly your right, I do tend to do the same facial structure, mainly because i'm not sure how a real face works XD

BurningArtist [2010-01-06 17:25:45 +0000 UTC]

From 2003 - 2005 it's like you're not the same person! And I DO see an improvement in the rest. The line quality gets way better and I still think you're awesome in coloring! lol

If you want to see stagnant improvement... wait for mine to come out. >_>

DestinyBlue In reply to BurningArtist [2010-01-08 14:00:58 +0000 UTC]

heh,it's just a shame about '05 to now! XD
Well at least this makes me realise i've been lazing arround in the stuff I find comfortable. I've been looking at some amazing art recently and i'd like to try and push my bounderys
Are you going to do one of these then bella?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BurningArtist In reply to DestinyBlue [2010-01-08 14:44:05 +0000 UTC]

I would but like I said... my stuff hasn't gotten much better in all that time. My line art might be a bit stronger but that's kinda its limits. Well, I might do one anyways... if I can find anything that goes that far back. I'm also surprised how young some of you are. I'll start off as an old lady already.
