School sketches #6 btw 😩 OK BUT LIKE- THE IMPROVEMENT????
LIKE Y’ALL, I’M ACTUALLY SO PROUD OF THIS, THE FIRST ONE WAS DONE AROUND JANUARY-FEBRUARY THIS YEAR LIKE?- DID I GET POSSESED OR SUMM?-
ALSO BTW THE SECOND ONE IS UNFINISHED, I WOULD’VE USED ANOTHER DRAWING BUT THESE TWO ARE BOTH MEANT TO HAVE THE SAME BODY SO LIKE, U GUYS CAN SEE THE IMPROVEMENT A LOT BETTER But fr tho, I am actually really proud of my more recent art, you can see the improvement by even just scrolling down my tumblr a bit, like I’m so happy all my years of work have really started to pay off, bc holy shit, I was stuck at the same level for so long, but yh, if any like new artists are seeing this, keep going, trust me, it may take a while but it will pay off :]

So I went to my oldest sketchbooks. Including my first ever sketchbook from about 2012-2013. Then I went through two other old ones from 2014for one and the other was 2015. I wanted to see my old art. And oh boy was I shocked at what I saw. So I decided to compare my old art with my art of pretty much 2020. And man can you see the differences.

The one with Dream laying on a rock and a panda version of Cross standing beside him as they look at each other, was compared to the first drawing I ever did in my first ever sketchbook.

Speaking of Octo, this is freaking wild to me. On the left is his original design that I’ve had for like 10+ years and the one on the right is the new one and damn if I don’t love the new one?? 

His old name was Ockt (lmao I didn’t change much there) and he was part of a race of aliens with super powers. Also he was see-through. While I did love his old design, it just didn’t work in a 3D plane. Like how do you accurately portray that kind of design? Hell if I know.

Also Labbed is getting a major overhaul with it’s characters and Dead Serious is my focus rn, so until I can fix Labbed it’s put on pause. But yeah Octo just feels better this way as a Descendant.

Cinder tangled with Aquas(yet another character I have yet to introduce), with Snow watching.

More to come!

The only thing I did was practice... that was literally all I did to get better in five years.
