Well, i've been drawing since i can hold a pencil. But i mostly smeared up the wall with liverwurst and said "Daudia fein, Daudia fein" (<~~ Claudia nice). LOL...my mother told me that...
Aged 6 when i drew my first horse! It wasn't very detailed. Only the lines of the legs, the round head and the weird body were identifiable....
I practiced drawing animals when i was 12, i drew the heads too big and the body too small like the first anime character! I couldn't draw my pictures as well as i saw them in my head...but i never gave up!
I drew the whole day pictures, practiced to draw bodies, faces, details ect. ect. ect.
When i'm in artist block, i draw so long till i get a perfect picture. It sometimes take hours! I needed a whole night to draw a picture once, due to the artist block!
I never get frustrated. When i made a bad picture, i begin to draw another (and they are always better!
)
btw...Here are such great artists! The only sentence i can say is : Keep drawing!!!
