Yep.
I'm actually extremely satisfied with my progress in a little under two years. I still feel I have SO much room to improve, but I think I'm at a good spot in my 'art career,' you could say.
I really want to thank everyone who ever commented about my art ever; whether it be good or bad, because look how it helped me shape it! :D
And I want to take the time to point something out, while I'm thinking of it:
EVERYONE CAN DRAW AS WELL AS THE NEXT PERSON. It is simply the interpretation of the art that varies from person to person.
This is why artists often self-critique so hard or sometimes beat down on other artists. They either don't feel good about their own art/feel they're better when actually, everyone is very, very talented! Never stop drawing guys. Because sooner or later, you WILL feel good about your drawings. Heck, you already should, because they're a form of self expression. That's not just art, that's like slapping your life and emotions on a piece of paper! It shows everyone around you what YOU see and what YOU feel. Kinda amazing, huh?
//SHOT OKAY I'M DONE WITH THE MOTIVATIONAL RANT
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Aww, I'm sure you'll get better! Everyone improves at different paces C:
And actually, I'm self-taught! I just listened to what everyone told me and looked at a loooooooot of crazy-good diagrams until I figured out how to do them myself :3
But thank you for the compliment! I appreciate it!

Well I do love fans ^^
And that's right, find your own style.
A good thing to try is to find one person's style that you really like and also easily replicate, and practice drawing it. Slowly make changes that more fit you and how you like to draw, and soon you'll have a brand new style to call your own!
Really, it all comes down to practice, but that's a bit cliche to say xD Just draw to have fun; try not to make it a chore X3

Ive been practicing for 15 and a half years, so that does not work. What I need to learn is techniques to save time. Like how does one draw something that does not exist or strange creatures that do not exist without reference? Something to save me time, like those little circles and lines used to save time (which are very frowned upon, least in the colleges I went too) to allow unified structure and can easily be altered to add size and shape to many different things rather then just line value or pure style alone.
I wish I had fans, sadly I cannot tell people much, far too many people have tried to steal my idea over the last 18 years Ive been working on it. Though also helps to have time to practice, something I dont have anymore, not to mention supplies and such. Too poor to get a tablet and learn that stuff.

Listen to me right now: DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT COLLEGES TELL YOU TO DO
Any art school college, class, or program will tell you different things about diagrams and techniques and such and what's right/wrong/frowned upon etc. In fact, I use those circles and lines all the time! :D
And as for fantasy creatures, there really is no right way to do them! Go all out- I've seen 'em all! Take a look at mythical creatures, such as a hydra or a hippogryph. There are so many interpretations, each depending on the artist.
Personally, I draw by eying it. If it doesn't look right, I change it until it does.
And as for drawing time; I know that feel. If you find yourself at work or at home with a scrap of paper, do a quick sketch on it of whatever comes to mind. And don't draw the same thing over and over, try different thins!

With me, nothing ever looks right, not a perfectionist, but I feel like one. Artists are usually their own worst critic (cept the cases of "squidwards" I had one in my college class, everything he did was a self portrait and he thought he was the absolute best and priced his pieces for outrageous figures). Still, many of the colleges make very good points in their reasoning. None the less, I wished to learn, not to have to teach myself, something I cannot seem to do it appears.
And time is very difficult, likewise supplies and prices.
