@sonatacreates Thanks for hosting this!
I have been very inconsistent from 2021 to 2022, but I'll post two that are very different 😅
But I've figured out what style I want to focus on now. I love my little goofy chibi style and I can't wait to keep on improving that style.

Same character 2018 -> 2022
Being an artist means having the overwhelming need to draw and just doing it. Somehow practice and improvement happens in spite of it all.

#SkillNotTalent ✨ 2011 vs 2022
It takes passion and dedication, not magic 💖
Honestly, I hate being called talented. Art is a skill and it's a skill I've practiced and honed for over 20+ years. Passion drives me, not talent.
Anyone can draw, if you have the drive to learn and the patience to grow

2018 vs 2022!
I know it's a compliment when people say I'm "talented," but it really is so much about practice and intentional improvement, and finding what works for you!
Just saw the hashtag #SkillNotTalent and I love it, because yeah. Art is a skill that needs work to be developed.
Here's my first attempt at a digital sketch with some shading vs. one of my recent ones.

Oh I like this hashtag

Not really a redraw but same 2 charas from 2019 vs 2022.
Also tbh there's ppl with talent, something they're born with, but it has to be honed, & also yes, you can become skilled with practice.

Practise, practise, practise and yet again practise. Art is a skill only gatekept from those who can't be bothered to learn it, and it's up to you to chose if you are one of those people or not
#SkillNotTalent Oh I love this hashtag! Yeah, doing 150 studies this year is my way to get to really good "before and after" comparison posts and to document my argument that I wasn't born with the skills. It was work, and then more work after that.
I have heard many times from people that my ability to draw is a talent, and not my own skill that I have been sitting for years and working out day after day.
no.
it's not a talent.
