Art Improvement

well, i wasn't really into anime before..i draw a lot but not anime, and i couldn't find any of my artwork done when i was in high school.. anyways, here's each year's description:


2005:

2nd year college, i was more of a pencil, pen and color pencil dude then, but i wasn't really into coloring my works, most were done only by pencil or pen, didn't have any idea about digital coloring yet..^^

2006:

not much improvement on a year, i guess i just improved on anatomy and detailing, i dunno, can't really remember..XD still all were done with pen and pencil only..^^


2007:

this was when introduced photoshop to me, hehe..most of the things i know on digital coloring were taught by him (hanep, idol, hahaha)..all of my work during this year was done with a camera phone and mouse..^^ still didn't know much about photoshop, my style of shading then was kind of gradient-cell shaded or something..XD


2008:

again, influenced by *lires, summer of 2008 was when i got my first pen tablet (genius g-pen 560), and again, most of the techniques i learned then was taught by *lires (idol talaga, hahahaha) i also experimented on different techniques and effects on photoshop then..^^ though i was on hiatus for a year after that summer, got busy with my thesis..^^

2009:

returned to DA with a new art style, again taught by *lires (sobra na, wahahaha), this is when i switched from photoshop to SAI, i started to love SAI because of the pen and marker technique, and now it's what i use, 95% of an artwork i do is done in SAI and the 5% (touch-ups) is done on photoshop..^^


i can say i improved a lot since 2005, which i owe to a great artist.. and hopefully i'll continue to improve..^^
more artworks to come this year..
