Description Since I'm not quite finished with my next Rocketshippy drawing, I thought I'd start posting some of my very old stuff.

And I might as well start at the beginning with one of my very first attempts at drawing anime, and back when I didn't know much about programs like my dear Photoshop, that I wouldn't be without today.

You could say the content in this is pretty similar to my newest finished picture of Jessie and James, except this one makes me think it's more like a fantasy land with clear blue skies, rainbow overhead and roses in the foreground.

This was a bit of an experiment, trying figure out how to shade it, but it ended up kinda messy, he he he.

Anyway, I thought I'd put this up, even though it's 9 years old and makes me cringe because I can see all the mistakes I couldn't see back then. Maybe someone will like it, he he he.

And on the plus side, it is good to compare to the new one just to see how much things have improved. ^_^

This was only one of the first of my digital arts. I'd been drawing traditional from a very young age, so I already had plenty of experience with drawing but not drawing on the computer. We all have to start somewhere and you can improve with practice, too.

I was roughly 15 years old and this was one of my very first digital drawings back then.

It's pretty good! I'm thirteen and still working on digital art, I'm a lot better at traditional art, I think.

Thanks! I was still a lot better with traditional art at this stage, but the years of practice have helped me improve into a much better digital artist. ^_^

Well, you've definitely improved a lot since you began. However, this is still amazing. I wish my drawings skills now could be as great as yours were here.

Thank you! I still do like this one, even though it's very old and my skills have improved. I just kept pushing myself to get better because I always loved art made by others that were so much better than me. I wanted to be able to make my own. ^_^

omg.... I wish my first attempts were NEAR this good....

Rocketshippy is what drove me to draw in the first place, 10 years ago! I just had to see them together, even if I had to draw it myself!!!

Thank you so much! ^^

I know what you mean, sometimes you feel so strongly that you have draw these things yourself. I wasn't expecting the show to give me this stuff, so I thought I'd do it myself, he he he.
