Over the 5 or so years since I have started drawing have never really had a stable style, jumping between several with very little self awareness on the matter. So I shall use this topic to make any new changes as things go along, in the hopes that one day, I stop sucking at drawing. Hm, this might be unintentionally personal, but blah. I don't care.
Spoiler! :
Well i've always been interested in art, a artist in some way, a fan of drawing in highschool I draw stuff like this all the time, scribbled up weird or normal landscapes out of boredom with the odd animal once in a blue moon.
But with my first computer came a interest in digital arts, but that died off quickly, before raising again near the end of my highschool years, with a mouse I started messing around with gimp.
First thing that didn't look light a ball of lines, it was 100% random effects pulled out of gimp.
Then the second.
I kept going for that until I decided to make something more complicated, to my shame, effectively I just used brushes, from so many places that I was unable, and still can't credit them without going on a man hunt for a few weeks.
Easy to pump out and I got a lot of cheap easy reactions from people, I was a artist to some people on the internet, even if all it was, was a bunch of brushes put together into something. Something so easy that I was stealing from people. Only reason I haven't deleted them yet from my computer and account is hoping someone would point me in the right direction to thank to apologize the person I took brushes from without crediting. Though I imagine it would not matter at this point.
Then suddenly I wanted to make comics, to have a real improvement on what i had just dabbled in, the result was crap, absolute garbage. Short comics that never got anywhere, and never would have if they were actually better drawn.
Then I got more interested in drawing people, so did what people suggested, sadly that was mostly anime.
Then I started trying to make comics, not any good ones mind you. But I tried to get fast on drawing and good at it.
After a few pages ditched, and gave up for half a year. Started something new one.
Gave up again and then another.
Gave up and and then another.
Gave up and went for a single panel, choose your own adventure.
Gave up and decided on making a minecraft texture pack
Drew my first GOOD avatar.
Took a interest in photography
Got back into traditional art.
As I had not been drawing in a long time, no real improvement.
Second best avatar
Then now, as of the last year I am finally here. At the state I am now.
Just checking to see that i can still draw on pen and paper.
Spoiler! :
Yes its generic and I am 90% sure that somewhere out there someone has drawn this same cat in the same pose, but the idea was practice, not being unique, and I just not realized I put Umbrion in the same pose. Apparently my ability to draw 4 legged creatures in fancy poses is limited.

Then someone challenged me to try that chibi thing.
The story: You see personally I know very little about the style, in fact I find it a little creepy. Over sized heads, tiny bodies, smiling or sad faces with their big eyes. I didn't plan on making anything like this ever, but I asked a friend, I said "I'm getting bored of my avatar, got any ideas for something creepy by chance?"
"Chibi version of yourself." He said.
"Absolutely not! That creepy thing is meant to be cute to people for some reason."
"Passive aggressive creepiness." He said.
"Genius!"
Thus I made this in four minutes. I had no idea what I was doing.
