I was looking through some boxes yesterday, trying to find some important paperwork, when I ran into one of my old art folders. After dusting it off and quickly examining it, I opened it. I was amazed and awed. All of my old stuff that I drew back when I was deeply  captivated by the power of anime.
   
    Most of the stuff back then, I thought it was a masterpiece, until I gave it a look the second time years later. It was crap, I thought. I way I drew these guys, everything about them was wrong. Comparing it to the ones I do now, I have definitely improved.

    So, if you're thinking about throwing in the towel now because of the art you're drawing now isn't good enough, don't. With time and practice, your skills will improve. Trust me. Just a little word of wisdom from ThuMpeRKA.
