Legolas in stockings >:3 blushing!

Okay, peeps. Here's a little special post about improvement. Or just drawing in general, I don't know. It's really simple, it's gonna start and end with the same sentence:

Don't give up.

I drew both of these characters, respectively Ahngel (halloweenholidaydoor) and Ma'lakel (anartisticreality) around october/november 2013. I'm a very harsh person when it comes to my own art. I'm asking a lot of myself and thus am rarely happy with what I'm drawing / painting. And that's why I tried to repaint both of these characters.

Drawing every day, you won't always notice that you're improving. With each doodle, each finished piece of work, each experimentation. You won't improve right away, or constantly. Sometimes, you'll feel like you'll have reached a new step, sometimes you'll feel like you're not going anywhere. Pretty much every artist feels this way. And that's why you should keep your oldies... go look at them from time to time and laugh about how your own old-self sucked ;)

Keep drawing

Keep practicing

I thought I would add this on tumblr too. A seriously late birthday gift for Anne
