going through my old art is such an experience because i’ll find something that i then remember never finishing because i thought it was just so awful and it’s actually pretty good and I’m disappointed i never finished it, and then i’ll turn a page and see something i remember being so proud of and cringe my way into a new dimension because thats what i thought was good??? and then i have to give myself a talking to because i should apply the same support and understanding to my own art from when i was still learning as i would to any other artist still getting a grip of things.

#personal bs #though…. in shit talking my past art’s defence….#i went through a year long phase where i just drew noses so incredibly long and it made EVERY face i drew uncomfortably long and narrow #and idk where that came from #because i didnt have that problem before then. and i worked myself out of it. and in that whole time i didnt even realise the problem #id draw the longest fucking face that triggered the uncanny valley effect #and just not see it. id just go ‘yep thats how faces look’ and move on????#cannot fathom the cause of that phase. glad im more or less out of it #also looking at my old art makes me realise how absolutely lovely this fandom really is #cause some of the old fanart i’ve flipped through (that i KNOW i posted) is just… yikes i drew that?#(im doing it again! i need to be nicer to past squid)#but everyone was so supportive of my art back then #and now that i can see all the glaring issues that means so much more #love u guys :)
