Improvement Meme 2005-2012by ~AllisonStanley

Progress was slow before 2009. Building a library of reference material was really important. Until that point I hadn't immersed myself in knowledge and beauty.
That might have had something to do with graduating highschool

I had all of these kicking around on my computer already so this was a breeze to make. I was blessed with access to scanners as a child.

Updated for year 2012! I will continue to keep this current.

Your 11-year-old art was even better than my current art... Sad for me. xD
Nice work though; very inspiring~

i like the 4th one shown on 2009 and all there after. not because the others were bad. i just like the art style is all. ^^

Thank you. I was very pleased with that one myself. I never finished it because my photoshop file became corrupt. (It was a real downer.) I drew her again in box 1 of 2010. But I used ink and watercolor that time around.

I hate photoshop too.

~AllisonStanley Dec 22, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

It's not photoshop itself that I hate. It's the false information I had heard about it. For instance, people advertised how much faster they worked with it, but that was not the case for me.

~awua Dec 22, 2012

pretty much the same for me

It's amazing...and quite puzzling to see the progress you made in so little time.
Did you attend to art school?

~AllisonStanley Dec 22, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks.
I had a 6th grade watercolor class that I learned a lot in. My highshcool art/photoshop classes didn't help much however. One teacher said, "Let's make pancakes! Cooking is art!" I haven't taken any classes since then, just learning from books.

~LimbsforWings Dec 23, 2012 Student Artist

I see, you are mostly self taught...this gives me hope for myself, it's truly inspiring to see just how far someone can go if the invest time and effort. Keep it up! (is that even possible?)ÓuÔ;

Oh and I'm going to take up the chance and send you my best year end wishes...Happy Holidays!

~AllisonStanley Dec 23, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Time and effort are important. Although I don't have a teacher, I have gotten very helpful critiques online. The internet is an amazing resource for artists.

Merry Christmas!
