How far have I gone?

Sun Sep 21, 2008, 10:07 AM
Oh, look how far have I gone in terms of an artist. :D

When I first started drawing these, I couldn't even draw a stick figure right. But I kept drawing. I thought, What the hell. I got lots of idea that I thought was funny, and hope that I could convey that idea so that other people can enjoy them too. And hope people think they'd be funny. Crossed finger.

But most... well, ALL the drawings turned out REALLY BAD. LoL :D

I know it's really embarassing to show these so-called artwork to anyone, especially since I've been getting notes on how good my artwork is. (Thank you, y'all!^^)

But I want to show this to you who can't draw, and hopelessly wanna be able to draw, but feels that it's just hopeless to be able to draw better to know: It's not impossible to improve YOUR artwork.

See this, and compare it to this. In as little as a year.

Yep, I didn't draw the comics the day before they're uploaded onto the interwebs. I drew them years ago, and they were so bad, that I piled them on the back of my hard drive. Only until later did I gather the courage to put them on my blag. The lack of backlash from putting such horrible artwork on the internet, gave me courage and move them to their own webcomic.

See, drawing is not that difficult, the problem is you have to know what to put on the paper before you put them on the paper, and if you never put them on the paper before, you don't know what to put on that paper. It's a catch-22 thing.

I know I still have a lot to learn myself. I'm not at the level of where I wanna be in this trade. But you know, it's not impossible to become better. And drawing is so much fun, it's too bad to not be able to draw well.


I drew this webcomic in as little as 5 minutes. (the longest is 3 hours, with the painted backgrounds etc) I don't think I can get the drawing quality to be as good as a twelve hour painting, but I'll work on it. They really don't take that long to make, and it pushes me to draw at least three days a week. And in turns, it reminds me to keep drawing every time I feel hopeless.


And now if I somehow managed to get you who draws as bad as me excited and you wanna learn to draw better, I'm going to give you the last name you'll ever need to know to learn EVERYTHING you need to know to draw well.
