12 Yr Old vs Current

Hello Lemon heads lol To the left is the oldest drawing I have when I was 12. All I could do was copy the art. Then I realized that this was all I would be able to do unless I learn to make my own art. Today, I can draw lighting fast, fully in ink, design characters, and draw without reference. All the things younger me couldn’t. But my favorite part is that I have cultivated my own style as Toriyama did his. I could never compare my best art to Toriyama but I can defiantly compare where I was then vs where I am now. Never stop the journey. #art #artist #anime #dbz

... Read moreThe process of evolving as an artist is both personal and transformative. Many artists often start by replicating existing work, which is a vital step in understanding technique and style. This journey from imitation to creating original pieces allows for artistic growth. Influential artists like Akira Toriyama inspire countless fans not only with their work but also with their unique styles. Art is not merely about perfecting technical skills; it encompasses self-expression and the development of a personal voice. Over the years, practicing consistently can lead to significant improvements in abilities, including speed and creativity. Today, artists are encouraged to experiment, take risks, and find inspiration in various mediums. Engaging with the art community can also foster motivation and provide valuable feedback. Remember, every artist's journey is unique. Celebrate your milestones and continue exploring your passion. The growth may be gradual, but every effort you invest contributes to your evolution as an artist.
