2015? 2016? I was completely humiliated the first time I posted something so I waited roughly a year before posting again, in 2017 and from there I'm in and out, doing my own thing and comming back to be destroyed so I can slowly build everything up again, but each year is harder and harder to people to actually destroy me, well, they still can by just being good artists, but you know what I mean.
/ic/'s helps me with my natural arrogance, keeps my ego in check, proves there always room for improvement, I appreciate and value that immensely. I learned a lot, to mention everything I would have to mention the entire process of drawing, but I believe the biggest difference was to stop relying so much on redering, my strong point and star actually drawing. Now I can't really render as well as my drawings, but I'm well rounded artist, I can do basically anything from semi-realistic to ultra-cartoony. I only fail in reference material that is not 1;1 but I get the over gist and realism, that I still need some references to get all the proportions correctly. Without counting all the techniques and small bits and bobs I learned around here, I have several styles under my belt from everything I slowly stolen over the years using the place, among other smaller more reserved IB's.
