Any Artists?

I bought one with my christmas money trust me they aren't cheap I bought the newest generation of the wacom and its like almost 400, but it's worth it

Wow that's a lot of money! I think I'll just wait till I get more birthday money. At least I'll be able to buy a medium quality one.

I just uploaded some more new art work every couple of days I'll try adding more

[Juanita]

Cool! I might post some stuff in a few days.

Ah I see. So it's more like if you have art to show off you make a topic for yourself? I'd think it'd be easier to just make one thread and have people post under that instead of having multiple threads for each individual, but that's just me.

I don't mind either way, it just seems those who are good at drawing chose to do it that way. I'm a disaster at drawing myself, so I never had to ask myself where I should post - my art would probably belong in the recycle bin, if we had one! I do see almost everything here anyway (not always right away though), but I can see it as being harder for someone reading the forum for the first time, or not having been around in a long time.

[Juanita]

Aww don't say that. You just need to practice is all. I used to be terrible at drawing, but I've improved a lot just between this year and last. Yeah. That's probably why I find it confusing. The last site I was on had forums on it, and one or two topics where artists would just put their art there. I guess it just depends on what you're used to really.

[Astro Forever]

Yes, you are totally right. I never actually attempted to draw much, so I guess it means that if I started practicing, I would have a lot of room for improvement, even if I doubt that this would become what I am best at. But right now, it is bad. I have a lot of admiration for those who can draw, and it's really great to see people's art evolve here over the years.

[Juanita]

Yeah. I'd just try to use some how to draw tutorials (though they were never actually any help to me since I cannot make things from circles and various other shapes as they almost always have you do.)
I remember drawing a teenage fish girl, and really loved it. As the year progressed, however, I ended up hating it and making a new picture, making her out to be in her early twenties. I showed it to my mom, and this was literally the first thing she said:
"Well she's definitely more 'developed' now..."
Wow. Thanks mom. That's exactly the kind of constructive criticism I wanted to hear.

hey guys just uploaded a new drawing again, I sure am busy me right! Well any way yes astroforever there is always room for improvement for me too. You know I wasn't too fond in grade 6 of drawing but I love it now, I just started drawing cartoon characters and kept getting amazing results, till I decided to try a whole new style manga, and still trying to improve. The first pic you see was drawn in december 2012, and the 2nd just the other day.

Here's my latest drawing. In case you don't know, this is Marik Ishtar, a character from season 2 of YuGiOh. I used colored pencils and pen for the outlines. He is soooooo smexy! I thought it would be cool to add the Egyptian hieroglyphs in the background.
