underdog of the year
helloo i am zebraiken and this is my art thread.
the plan is that i have a new piece or at least make some significant progress on something at least once every two days - i'd really like to get seriously good at making art since i'm having a lot of fun doing it, so i hope forcing myself to keep rather frequent updates will keep me in the business of working on my arting abilities.
i don't have a lot of experience with art in general; i took an art class in 8th grade and attempted to make some monstrosities of fakemon sprites for a pokemon hack i was making five or six years ago (link, don't click if you value your eyes), but otherwise i've never touched it. i don't remember what exactly inspired me to jump into drawing but i felt the urge to make something awesome, and ium was a big help and inspiration to getting me started and hooked me up with some basic techniques. i draw mostly with a tablet, and i use paint tool sai for my arting purposes. i'd like to branch out into different forms of art and using different materials as i (hopefully) improve upon my current set of skills, so any and all advice is welcome!!
p.s. on all of my sketches that i used puush to link, my cursor is going to be in the top left corner and i'm too lazy to do anything about that so sorry :(
basically, i started with this
then it became this
then it became this (today)
and hopefully i'll keep getting better!!
