I normally don't post other people's YouTube videos here, but this is IMPORTANT.

I beg of you to watch this video if you believe that your art is TERRIBLE. This is something that I've struggled with and is something I know a lot of people here have too.

It would also be a good thing to share this video with those you think need it.

I want every artist to know that your art ISN'T BAD.

It's unique and can be improved with time and effort.

Nobody can just sit down one day and draw something phenomenal. They worked hard and believed in themselves, no matter how bad the art may have looked to them. They also take critique so that they can learn and grow from their mistakes.

And if you do those, you'll gain more skill to draw more complex pieces!

I guarantee that some of your favourite artists do this! You just don't know that they do.

Try your best, practice a lot and never give up! You can do this! I know you can.

This is something I wish that past me knew. Please, remember this whenever you think that your art is bad.

I'm participating in Artfight 2025!

Like last year, I'll try to return every attack with equal or higher quality.

It'll take some time for me to get everything back up and running on GJ. Thank you for your endless patience!

As you know, I'm not typically drawing on mobile. But nothing is stopping me from trying to improve! Really wanted to draw him last year but ran outta time.

Guess who started making Kamen Rider Fan Art recently?

I launched into a crazy fixation, and I'm currently speedrunning Zeztz after I finished Geats.

Other than those two shows, I've watched W + Fuuto PI in the past, which were highly entertaining too!

2 Attacks: https://artfight.net/~Swiftdoodlez + https://artfight.net/~ZeeXe and: https://artfight.net/~saop

The first of which took around a week or more, the other only a couple of days. I need to practice effectively placing values...

I've been dabbling in this artstyle more these days. I hope to improve my skills in portraying characters properly + drawing scenery this year.

Finished Prize for @JaxoDraws0104!

Thanks for being cool with the long wait! And now that it's done, I've finally rolled out all the prizes I promised. Definitely a big learning experience for me 0(-(

First frost meant letting go, so it was always reason to celebrate.

Batch Drop of the remaining Artfight Attacks I hadn't posted yet.

Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with what I managed to achieve in a month, especially with the comics and character interactions. + I improved drawing on mobile, which is nice!
