Description

8 Months Ago i Made my Very first drawing, and digital painting with DA Muro, Using a Mouse.
0_O' i thought it looked really good, but looking at it now...dear god how did i think it looked good?...
-atleast i got the anatomy right and the swiss rolls (lol the whole thing took me 6 days to make). :lol: 

-----====

NOW, Those Beauties, only took me 3 days And Two were made using krita. i used 3 layers, one for Shadow, Silver, and then the background
=^.^=
i have had a tough time, but
thanks to my friends here i can draw! (i'm still new to it...but i'm gett'n there!).

~ {How i got here, to where i am now} ~

i have Always wanted to be an artist, so i could make my own stories,
But i didn't try before now-
(cause i gave up hope and though it to be impossible and that i sucked)
LOL so i was browsing The internet a week before 5 months ago,
(inwhich i had never done before cause we couldn't afford it)
And me, being a sonic fan since i was 5 i was obviously looking at pictures of Shadow ~Teehee XD
i didn't know there was art, or that people made sonic fanart (gee what rock was i under?)
THEN i found myself Admiring all the nice art here...i couldn't BARE Not to comment on such lovely artwork...i needed to, cause it was so beautiful!
......SO i got myself this DA Account, (naming myself as what i like...i like ART a lot)
And so i did my silly little thing, Started making such Lovely, supportive, friends La la la la  And they encouraged me that someday i Would be able to draw!
-so i tried and tried, whining a bit in the process -_-
BUT THEN i decided i wouldn't give up!, and i would give my best to do it! ^_^
~i got MANY Extremely Talented (and well known)
Sonic Artists to show me pictures of their Oldest art that they made...and i learned something; Talent isn't genetic. -that gave me such a boost!, i thought i wasn't capable of such things lol.
Their old art was just as bad as mine was at the time,
they got their talent from
Practice, Practice, PRACTICE! ~So i have been practicing almost everyday, despite all my drawings in my sketchbook looking as if they've been made by a 5 year old :D
Slowly but surely, as my friends here/sensai's have been teaching me, my sketches started looking more like Actual Hedgehogs, instead of deranged rapists ^_^' 
NOW i can draw somewhat a good accurate Espio, Shadow And Silver...i still can't do sonic, or anybody else -but i'm getting there! I KNOW I CAN DO IT!, I HAVE COME SO FAR...I WILL DO IT! 
=^.^=

just...practice.
draw many many face's a day, no matter how bad they are, don't copy a reference exactly, -
-But instead draw, -and the next day, look at the reference, rinse, and repeat! ^_^
~you will get better as your brain starts remembering how it goes,
That's all i have been doing for like...3 weeks so far, it's been a great help!

*lets just hope nobody finds my sketchbook...the old stuff is bleach worthy* :) you guys are my angels~
