Description
(Anyone know what category this should be in?)Happy 101th deviation people! Now you all know how horribly horrible my drawings used to be. They're still not great, but at this rate I should be super fantastically amazing by the year 2052. It's going to be like three dimensional sparkling orgasmic bliss, with technicolors, speedlines, and psuedo realism. Oh yeah, watch out. I'll be one pimpin' 60 year old.

It's okay to use a reference book to start out, but some of those books are really bad. As long as she's using tutorials from a quality source, she should be fine.

Woow! You got really good really fast!!! I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon and I STILL suck!
I have that "How to Draw Manga" book too! o__o' I think I might have gotten it the same year!

It's not a matter of how long, it's how often. My junior and senior year I hardly drew at all and hence barely improved at all.

I see.. but I draw every day as much as I can!! >.< teach me your ways...

The only other advice I have is to follow "How to" guides for bodies and cartoons. After that it's all based on experience, and from the sound of it, you're well on your way!

The moment I saw the 2001 drawing of the swordsgirl, I thought of that How to Draw Manga book. It's the Bible of young anime artists. XD

SO TRUE. I was rooting through my room today and found "How to Draw More Manga," which I didn't even know I had. D: I was quite devoted to anime-ism it seems.

@_@ I should do something like that... like the timeline thing? lmao too bad I JUST packed all my old sketchbooks (I have stuff from like... Elementary school to now also '_'

Packed? Are you moving? Or going to college?
I'd be interested to know how YOU"VE evolved m.l.e. girl. The nice thing about packing is that you can always UNpack. xD But that's not much fun. Thanks for the comment, doll.

oh I love to see others people's progess. and your comments. haha. oh boy, I remember when I started with anime drawin' and such and made very unoriginal shit so yeah. haha
Oh! and c'mon, it won't take THAT long for you to be one of those super great superior artist or whatever you wanna call it.!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think unoriginal shit is what the predolescent years are made out of. Dx Damn you predolescence!
And "super great superior artist" is such a subjective term. I think it's unattainable.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, yeah I guess. But really, I remember the stupid plots and characters I'd create every so often whenever I saw something I liked. Like Sailor Moon. Usually I'd see myself in it, Gah! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, you know it. When I was building this timeline, I was rooting through all these old comics where the punchline would be someone shouting, "NANI?!?!" and/or falling over. I couldn't believe I was once proud of that trash, and went around showing it too my friends to boot. I sort of wish I could jump back in time and destroy anime before it ever reached me.
Granted, that would be depriving the world of some amazing gems from Japan, but the world revolves around me anyway so that's okay.

I got interested in anime about two years ago. xD So I guess I've been drawing seriously for two years now. D:

I think I started drawing anime stuff in fourth grade.. I still suck though. e__e I think I threw away my first drawings, which really sucks because they wern't really that bad for my first tries at it.. *u*
Ahaha! O: Katy Coope, yeah! I got the second book to start with though.. not the first. e_e "How to draw MORE manga" All those animes and their annoying dubs from Cartoon Network were a large portion of the influence though. xD Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Yu Yu Hakusho, Pokemon, .hack//, Gundam.. And then I started watching the anime on Adult Swim after that replaced .hack// and Gundam Seed. D:< Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, FOOLY COOLY WOOT!! -appreciates them a little bit more now- Actually, looking back now, I've learned alot not only about drawing and anime, but.. alot of things, since then, and it's probably only been 3-4 years. 8D -younglol-
..Argh. -angst- I miss the "old days". Dx
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I remember the days of Tenchi Muyo and .hack//. Fooly Cooly too, that was really entertaining (even though I spent the majority of it going, "HUH?"). And those first 3-4 years are the roughest. You got through them, so now you can work on making your own unique style!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohyes~ I had to watch Fooly Cooly a few times over, but it was really awesome. Yes, they are!! D:< Thank you, I'll do my best! o:

btw, started on anime in fourth grade. I was ruined before you ever were.

Nice timeline, though. But what happened in between the anime and the first comic is what I want to know. Mind if I steal this concept and make a timeline of my own?
Good job. At age 60 you'll be the coolest grandma in town.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, make a timeline dating back to fourth grade, it'll be AWESOME! I stole this concept from about 20 other people, so I don't think it'll be too much of an issue. (Until I get 20 lawsuits.)
And though you got into anime at a younger age, I think the year was still the same. I think I'm older than you, so that makes sense a little, right?
And besides, the younger you are when you step into anime, the longer you have to get through the learning curve and form an appreciation for actual, really good anime.

I would go back to first grade: my mother kept EVERYTHING.
It was already influencing me in second grade! Curse you, Pokemon!
.... I don't have much appreciation for anime. I actually have a lot more appreciation for Disney because of it, for some odd reason. Who know how my strange, sleep-begging/deprived mind works. And I still can't draw anime after all that. Funny how life works. Or maybe that was a mixed saying.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Disney is AMAZING! Compared with the majority of anime as a whole, the smoothness of Disney animation is certainly something to be desired. Ha ha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All hail Disney! He is your master and you are his humble servant!
I should stop right there. But it's too much fun.

Whoa... that's like... how I started and got to where I was... Except at the first part, I was reading Betty and Veronica comics and then discovered anime in seventh grade, too... 0___o" But I never had the book. My friend said that was her older sister that made that book. She helped color a page, though; it was the one with the brick wall or something like that. I don't remember. But anyways, I first got into Inuyasha, then went from there. ALSO, I had a comic with my best friend Jessica, and we did hamsters! D: And cute little puppies and stoof like that. WIERD~
It's great to see yourself improve. I love that feeling of accomplishment when you look back and see how crap you were when you started out, then look forward and see awesomeness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH MAN, you indirectly knew the girl who made that book? Tell me, is she filthy rich now? I want to go back in time and make that exact same book before she did and take all the credit for it. And I know exactly which brick wall picture you're referring too. xD
And you also drew a comic based on furry animals? Freaky wierd how similar our pasts were.
And yes, there's something just so reassuring when you look back at last year and know you've accomplished something. It means you'll accomplish something again next year.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, she's not, but her sister is, though. XD lol
YES, it was called "The Adventures of something or other..." I don't remember. XD But I continued it later as "The Adventures of The Goobers...!" and there were no furry animals.
*nodnod* :3 It's the best feeling.
