Description
People tend to ask me about my drawing skills and such...so today I went digging around my art collection and pulled up a small summary of my Sonics.This isn't really a "How To" turorial as much as it is just an informal one. People need to realize that good artists weren't just born one day and had this amazing talent to make beautiful pictures with real colours. No, I put this together to show people how one must practice to get better over time and how practicing can actually really improve one's skills. People are so pessimistic when it comes to their art. My main goal is to help persuade people that art isn't a manufactured talent you can by from a store, but something that must be worked on and developed over time. Hopefully, with this idea, people can see that their art is not crap, it's just what they make of it and how the use their ambition to help them improve over time.

Wow! i'm glad someone came up with something like this. I like the fact that you show your progress throughtout your drawing ages. Many people tend to give up on drawing or say that they "can't draw" But its because they give up and don't keep on going. I believe that this will make people realize that if they stick to drawing and don't give up and constantly practicing, they will eventually get better and better as they grow as artists. Good job! I congratulate you for your amazing improvement over the years! ^^

Learning to draw in general takes practise. You really improved lots over time! Very cool collection of art here! It's neat to see how it evolved. ^^ Your little commentaries were nice, also.

Well, this is a pretty awesome tut, needless to say. People SERIOUSLY need to realize that 'popular' or 'amazing' artists weren't BORN with it.
