This is amazing.You have clearly improved grately ^^

[Klaora]

I apologize to just now be getting back to you, as I was away this weekend without internet. ^^;

@Vampiron: Thank you very much. :3

@crhyoyo: I'm very happy to have inspired you, as that was my intention. ^^ I see so many young artists get frustrated because "they're not good enough" and "no one likes their artwork." I didn't magically start drawing at the level I do now. It's taken nearly a decade of consistent practice and exercise.
But I draw for myself and because it is fun. The best way to improve is to just keep at it and not give up. I think anyone with a lick of artistic talent is capable of doing amazing things with the right amount of training and practice.

@Mrs. Awesome: crhyoyo has it pretty much on the mark. It's not always that they aren't payed well, but that the market is so competitive and the jobs specifically aimed towards artists are relatively few.
There's also this notion that "art should be free. It's just a drawing" Lots of people end up getting ripped off or undersell themselves.
But, yeah, you can't buy food or anything because you'll likely not have a job with that profession.

@DiamondEyes: XDD Thank you very much. It has a bit of a special place in my heart, I admit, though I'm not sure why other than the embarrassment level it holds.
Perhaps, and I thank you for it, though I imagine such a thing will take many more years still. :3 Thank you very much.

ookami99: Thank you very much. XD I would hope so after such a long time.

amen to that.

Much better than I can do! Wow!

Can you draw on paper as good or better than on the computer now? It should be possible maybe you should try. Because if you can get the lines like that, you should be able to get it down on paper.

I was 10 when I started drawing tigers. My family stopped getting all wowed out because they were a lot and they were shaded and very realistic except for one, which I forgot to make the limbs stick out enough and it was a flat tiger. O.O. I am like my aunt, a real life artist. Who gets money ^.^ Or is going to try to sell her paper mache animals. (huggles Elisha the frame of my cat xD)

[~Nonexistant]

Lol, my dad said the same thing to me when I told him I might grow up to be an artist. XD
I cant draw NEARLY as good as you online, but with pencil and paper, my art looks realistic, even humans if I try. ^^
Maybe we'll meet some day when we're both artists

I'm glad you didn't give up your dream, keep going! And maybe someday people won't be able to tell the difference between your drawings and a photograph.

[Wep'keer]

Wow! I love it! The background is so awesome. You have definitely improved a lot!

Your art is a lot better than mine in a lot of ways. x) Especially with your backgrounds! Keep up the good work, and never stop drawing! ^.^

[Klaora]

Oh wow, it's been a while since I've seen this. XD

@Neara: Thank you for the bumping as well as your comment. ^^ Glad to see that the point was understood.

@MegaCherrio: I actually prefer traditional art, to be honest. While I do enjoy digital, it seems most everyone else is absolutely gaga over it as if it were the "best" media around. x.x I often feel as if going digital is the only way to make it in the market.

It's awesome that your aunt is able to support herself in that way.

@Darry: Wow, really? XDD Lawl~
There was definitely a learning curve to digital, but as long as you practice and have your roots in traditional, I think one can do it fairly easily with a bit of practice. :3 I do like to attempt realism in graphite, I admit, though I'm not terribly good at it. XD
Perhaps so. Looking forward to that day.

@Aussie: Thank you very much. It was more meant for other people to learn from as well.
XD Not sure if I'll ever convince myself of that, but it's a possibility. Thank you. <3

@Wep'keer: Thank you very much. :3 You'd think so after nearly a decade after the initial drawing, though. XD
Thank you very much, but I could say the same of yours in quite a few places. x3 And nor you!

[Lions]

I just looked at this again and about died<3
Again, I wish I could draw as good as you (im hoping I will be able to someday) and I really hope that you are very successful with both traditional and digital art<3
