I’ve come a long way… art wise

I was looking through my art for some reason and I decided I wanted to do something to show how my art skills have improved through the years.  The only thing was, I don’t usually draw the same thing more than once, except for self portraits.  In every art class I’ve been in, they have asked me to draw a self portrait.  It was probably my least favorite thing to do, ever.  So here are some that I could find.  I hope you can notice the change. :p

2000-2001

Okay, don’t laugh, I was 6 or 7 when I did this.  When the teacher tells you to “fill the whole page” but “only draw your head and shoulders” what are you supposed to do?

2002-2003

This was at my school.  You can tell what my teacher taught us about nose shapes and how the nose is connected to the eyes.  I was probably 9 and in 3rd grade.

2006

I did this at home.  I went through a phase where I didn’t think I needed a neck and shoulders and all my heads where to the side.  I was about 12.

2009

Also at home.  This is when I learned how to draw lips… but still hadn’t gotten the nose down yet. I was 15, okay?

2010

And finally, we have my most recent self portrait.  This is when I figured out I could put something in front of my face so I wouldn’t actually have to draw my face.  Took me 16 years to figure that out.

Well I hope you enjoyed.  Maybe I will have a redraw post where I have redrawn something I drew when I was younger.  But I don’t know since I don’t really like drawing the same thing twice.  We’ll see.
