Current Events > Do you keep your old drawings?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I even retrace them with a pen on drawings that are fading

---

i have a laminated drawing of mega man i did when i was like 8, lol. maybe i'll post it when i get off work

---

Lol yeah I still have a few from when I was obsessed with early DBZ and drew characters from that in middle school.

---

My old ones which are those done on paper get thrown away, though I keep some of them depending if I like them too much. I moved to digital art so I dont really need my paper drawings anymore.

---

I keep everything, but only keep the stuff I turn into stories organized.

---

Some of them so I can see how much I've improved.

Old



Vs new



Still could work on my lines tho

---

Pretty much the entirety of my catalogue is digital, so yea. I like looking at how much better I've gotten over the years

A still have stuff from highschool in suitcases. I should really go through and do a huge redraw this year.

These are technically redraws/designs with a two year difference I did for Mermay, swipe to see the old ones:

Is that solemn judgement old guy

I like the jagged, roughness line of the old man.

Also the Second Age of Tolkien's Middle Earth adaptation gonna be

Yup, the big man himself. I drew that back when I was in an art class where we had to do a drawing a day.

The old school ygo card had many memorable artwork. Sure it wasnt the best but it felt iconic and could stand the test of time with all the new cards that kept coming. Konami realize this and tries to breath new life to the older card with newer adaptation, retrain etc.

lol, i found it. this is from 22 years ago. this is also the most powerful version of mega man iirc

this is legit sanic-tier shit

She packs a considerable amount of volume around her chests and legs!

whoever sculpted her was a perrrrrv

Thicc

I used to. Then I moved out temporarily, and my dad took all my stuff and burned it. So... yeah, they're gone.

---

---

Yeah. I keep old drawings. Anything I'm proud of I will eventually ink on tracing paper. I have stacks of drawings.

This look nice, I wonder if her design being more fish looking type have to do with her being descended from water based dragon kind. I mourned for her fate, I thought she'd be alive in either of the route but alas.

I try to keep all of them even though I hate looking at the really old ones

Thank you so much! I believe that's the case. I absolutely adore her dragon design even if it isn't very dragon like. Yep, I was sad to see her go. I really liked her.

I think 4 of mine survived dad burning my stuff. 3 because they were taped to my bedroom wall, and one because it was in a book in the barn. Found it when I moved back. I've posted it here a few times already, but I guess I'll do it again.

that's a very cool bird

some of these are good. I just did a bunch of world war 2 scenes when I was younger, back when everyone was watching Disney movies while I was watching Patton.

Current WIP of Bergamo from Dragonball Super

Finished last night but just now posting the final.

https://twitter.com/AbramJBroomIII/status/1349034566598713345?s=20

How long has everyone here been drawing? I've been doing it since Highschool causally, then got serious serious about it back in 2013. So about...18 years total I guess. Probably 11 total actually focused on it and not quitting for weeks that would turn to months that would turn to a year.

Badass.

I've been drawing since I was a small child but not really well until just recently.

Nice. Hands are hard. I think I have the paperback where the Spider City arc was compiled when he looked like this, somewhere.

Markers?

I decided to practice with Krita for the last few hours and did some doodles. Digital art is new to me so I tend to work far slower than with a pencil. Eventually I'll catch up.

---

Yeah, here is one from a couple years ago. Recreated the back cover of the Carnage Omnibus in Prismacolor pencils


---

Naw...they were just DBZ and Ruroni Kenshin traces not worth saving, cant draw freehand for shit

---

Here is another I did of Guts

The muscles looks phenominal. I'm so used to people drawing only the saiyan character like super saiyan goku so this a breath of fresh to me. I felt like toriyama creature design often underapreaciate like what he did in dragon quest. I never count the years i've been start drawing and just go with the flow ever since.

Yup, markers are my main medium. I had an ipad with procreate that I use for coloring sometimes but don't really like how it comes out:
