DO NOT REPOST

This is pretty hilarious because it looks nothing like how I draw her now, but it does have the eye markings I went back to. Manda Panda from 2006, drawn with pencil.

Yeah if I showed you the stuff I had on the net in like 1999.. well I probably wouldn't even show you anything before 2001 to be honest. hahaha. and even then.. before 2004 more likely. XD I was at least in college in 2006 taking some pretty serious art classes. It really doesn't seem that long ago.... kind of weird.
I actually threw away all my older sketchbooks because of the shame they brought me.(Like everything before 2012 pretty much, I had dozens of the things.) I have yet to take any art classes but I figure I'll take that as a side thing when I have it as a elective choice thing along side my college major.
I know people would say "But you could look at your improvement!" I don't need to compare my "pre-basic anatomy" and "post" states to know I am getting better. :P

I can't really completely hate anything I have made for some reason. I still find personal joy in looking at art I made as a kid. I do feel ashamed when people see my art that aren't me though and find flaws that I just don't feel the need to see at this point. I just want to enjoy things I created 10+ years ago as they were 10+ years ago. I still like it all though.
I miss being so productive with my art, and improving as much as I used to. I feel like I have barely improved at all in the last 6 years. I took art classes when I was a kid (after school) as much as a could, extra ones in highschool, and majored in it in college. My whole life sort of revolved around being an artist. Ever since I graduated though? I feel like I have lost a ton of steam. I miss creating things and not worrying about what other people's reactions to things would be, I miss drawing for myself alone.
To me, my art is all connected to memories and it pains me to get rid of any of it whether they are happy or sad memories they were my life and my experience. I don't like forgetting things I guess? Anyway, I AM RAMBLING NOW. I like my old shit even when it's shitty! I like my half drawn crumpled sketches, I just want to be able to make NEW things that I like again.
