just fucking draw. don’t compare yourself to other people, don’t stop because you drew a lot last tuesday and you haven’t visibly improved. it takes time, effort, and a lot of perseverance. besides, no matter how “bad” you think you are, there’s still gonna be someone who thinks the stuff you produce is the best goddamn thing they’ve ever seen in their entire life. the artist you were five years ago would have their mind fucking blown by the artist you are today. so just draw a fuckton, because every new thing you draw is one drawing better than you were before.
I really needed this post

13 year old me would be stoked to see where I am now. It’s really good to look back sometimes and appreciate how far you’ve come. And then imagine how much further you can go when you keep drawing.

2014:Even though I want to laugh my head off at my old stuff… it really is important to look at how far you’ve come in time.
And I think it’s not only good for yourself but for young artists / beginners as well, to see how other artists started out. So they see that no one is a great artist right off the bat.2007:

Remember, setting goals is very important to any skill too!
I used to draw a lot of unicornarin ‘s character Hannah as a fatty much to his chagrin, and still do from time to time. I’m more of the male persuasion, but when I want to draw a larger female character I prefer more a pear shape and really enjoy capturing shapes and forms that guide the eye.
At the end of the day, aren’t they all one in the same?
I am a shameless human being and will say I want to see more fatty art of Welfin
