Improvement Meme - Digital Art 2006 -2015
A collection and progression of digital only art from ‘when records begin’. Unfortunately I know that there was digital art before this date, but the oldest works I’ve found were taken from my DeviantArt uploads (so sorry for all the awful watermarks) and I didn’t have an internet art account until 2006. I might find them one day? A very long wall of text is below this, feel free to read it if you want, it’s just a personal analysis and description of what I was doing at the time. Kudos to anyone who bothers to read it, you might know more about me than I do by the end of it. Any questions, feel free to ask!
2006 – This is the earliest work I uploaded to the internet and, so my records begin. At this time I was in High School just getting on with my classes, the general ones you have to do, my favourites were Science (other than Physics), DT (woodwork, graphics) and of course, art.
At this stage of my art history, I was drawing pretty much constantly, whenever I could. It would be in the form of sketches, digital art and also animation. I loved animating back then. This is when I coned my name Outputt which takes me through the next 7-8 years, I remember a particular image of her I drew on paint, she started off black and orange.
2007 – This appears to be when my most relatable characters started to emerge. Kinshin (now Ki’ashi, Hatake (now Hazu’kai), start to appear. I take these characters with me all these years, they change drastically back and forth over the years. Similar to the 2006, I’m cracking on with school work and drawing and animating with all of my spare time.
2008 – I think this is around when I got my 1st graphics tablet, would have been one from Medion. I believe I started using Photshop for the 1st time around this year too. Note quality of lines improve and general depth of image from Photoshop and the Tablet. I’m allowed to get more into my work because of this. My High School years were some of my most creative, I have several stories with universe and characters and plot planned out fully. I also believe this is when Hogarth started to appear. He was design and created by my partner all those years back as a story character. I take Btec Art and GCSE Graphics as my final choices for the end of High School.
2009 – This was my final year at High School, so a lot of my time was taken up with revising for my GCSE’s. Sorry there’s not much digital art to show for this year. Most of my work that year was traditional. I seem to be pushing the more painterly style at this stage when I did work digitally. I leave High School with a quadruple A* in my art Btec and A* in graphics GCSE.
2010 – I’m now in College, studying Fine Art, Graphics and Media Production. This is pretty much where I ditch my interest in painterly digital styles, although it pops up occasionally. I realise I have a far shorter turnover time I need to stay consistent with. At this time I was mainly using pencil sketches as my linework. A lot of work is sketchbook only stuff or poster/commercial works because my digital work was only for Graphics or in the little spare time I had.
2011 – I take my 1st digital commission this year. This year I’m dabbling around with Sai as well as Photoshop. I believe it was this year I got my 1st Wacom tablet, a bamboo from my partner. Once again, most of my effort is in my final year of College, so that means mainly sketchbook work and commercial work for Graphics, fine art for fine art :V, and essays/documents and visuals/films for Media Production. This is where I start my art career as you know it. I start to sell my fine art, and a lot of my time is taken with creating ‘stock’ for my fairs, commissions for Furaffinity users are now available. My fairs are regular business now and I understand this is pretty much a part of my career that will stick with me. I graduate college with Distinctions in both Fine art and Graphics, a Merit in my Media Production.
2012 – I am now taking my courses at University, a bachelor’s degree in Animation and Illustration, and the same in Fine Art. I progress to using Photoshop entirely for my works, and begin to refine my lineart on there. Not much else to report. I think Jaegertingers begin to be developed summer of this year.
2013 – I’m now settling into my digital style, I know what to do and what to expect with the outcome. I drop my fine art degree to focus entirely on my Animation and Illustration studies, I wasn’t putting up with that wishy washy rubbish for another year when I can get on with my career on my own. I realise that I can take on a steady load of commissions without it affecting my studies, in fact, it would benefit my degree (extra works = more marks!). I start to associate with the handle of Sketchbuck now.
2014 – Final Year of University, I manage to combine quite a lot of required work around my own personal projects or commissions. I finish my university course earlier in the year, and then graduate later in the year with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Animation and Illustration. My educational path has now drawn to a close, onto being a full time freelancer!
2015 – My 1st full year of being a full time freelance. Wow, what a journey indeed? Did I know I was going to be an artist as a kid? No, but then again I never really DECIDED, it just happened. I have been blessed with the support of my family and friends, I know I could not have got to where I am today without them. So I just want to take the time to thank you, every one of you. Whether you’re my family, a friend, a commissioner, or whether you just like my art, and favourite a piece of mine once in a while. I appreciate each and every one of you with all my heart. Without you, I could not be who I am today. It’s not been plain sailing, and it never will be, but with the support of people like you, I have every intention of carrying on. Thank you.

Thank you!
The fine art course I dropped at university wasn't a challenge, it was pathetic really, not challenging at all, that's why I ditched it. There may be other fine art courses, or other courses like illustration that might be good for others, but you don't -need- to take a University course, I just wanted to stay in education.
I will be making a improvement meme for my sketchbook work, and for fine art work too, so keep an eye out!
