This is Making Me Cringe! 😖 Critiquing My Old Art!

In this video, I am critiquing my old art! Most of this art was made when I was 14-16 years old. Some of the topics I will be giving drawing tips on are coloring/rendering, perspective, backgrounds, poses, composition, and more! All of these illustrations were created in Manga Studio 4 Debut and manga Studio 4 EX. I currently use Clip Studio Paint. I hope these art tips will be helpful to you!

When I clicked on this video there was no comment section???

[@sealefamily2187]

On Innocent.jpg I would have personal change the eyes pupil on our left to be a bit smaller in size so it's similar in size to thw one you changed. But otherwise it looks every good. And I know its probably that because you didn't want to nitpick all the thing you didn't like or maby you liked it that way.

Even if this old art makes you ''cringe'', we have to admit that those are the first steps to improve, being bad at something is the start of being good at something in the future, improving and mastering a craft. Without those drawings, we would not be here now. And you inspired many people to draw over the years!

[@Shawarma101]

definitely, I am not the best artist and I always felt pressured to keep improving but I recently looked at a drawing I did 2 years ago, it was horrible but that made me pretty happy seeing how far I’ve come!

[@mememakerexdee1048]

Yea If you think something you made before is bad, that means that you improved because if you didnt improve, you would think it looks good!

As someone who is 14 right now this inspired me a lot! It’s helps me have hope that my art will improve in the future and I have so much more time It would be super cool to see you redraw your old art :D

[@otakumangastudios3617]

Oh trust me as an artist myself I name my files really weird things. There’s a reason why most the time I just save image instead of save to files unless I have to. When I do though, I usually put the name of the character but if I don’t, there’s a very high likelihood I’m just going to call the file “Shmoop “

[@Nimalea]

It's great to see the progress of your drawings. I often look at my old art and think: "Oh, I actually got better😅" I do so mostly when I'm a bit disappointed with my actual pictures I make. Oh and also, I got an Idea for a Video: "Finishing my viewers art" You could use some unfinished sketches from some of your viewers and finish them in your art style. That would be very interesting to watch 😄

[@laislyra5512]

The second pose on the tree is so much more magnetic and it doesn't even have color or eyes on. I like you as an artist because you're very relatable (the stuff you used to draw looks like my old stuff), yet you are clearly a very skilled artist and do well in a variety of different things.

I love your critiquing videos, they're always so helpful! I would definitely watch if you decide to critique your own art again in the future. Oh, and you accidentally helped me so much with something I was struggling to find more information on! I knew it was important to learn how to draw different shapes in perspective, but I didn't know how to put into words what I wanted to learn. Then when you said "try to practice drawing different shapes in perspective" I was like "OMG, THAT'S IT! That's how I have to google it!" hahaha! It might sound stupid, but it really helped. I just googled it and I found exactly what I'd been looking for. Long story short: thank you so much! =D

Hi! Amazing video once again but I have a really good video suggestion! You should add your characters into shows (or make new ones) and give them actual roles that could exist for a new character if you know what I mean! I’d love to see u add characters into demon slayer jujitsu Kaisen or attack on titan if you’ve watched those! Really hoping to see this

[@jocelynecupcake]

The first one is adorable! You were 14! It's not super amazing, but it's simple and cute. It's still better than most art form kids that age. Also, did you draw that on that old Disney art website? Somehow I can kinda tell by the way the brushes look. Second one, the blending doesn't bother me that much. It gives me the nostalgic vibes for some reason. The third one looks beautiful! ^u^ and the look of the brushes and shading also give me nostalgic vibes. The fourth one is super cute and I can tell you put a lot of effort in it, even tho it's not perfect. The after looks even more beautiful! The 5th one, you must have been younger yet I don't think it's bad art at all. It just has more childish vibes. You're right about the eyes tho. The summer flower one is also really pretty, and I like the shading. My gosh the shading in the hair in the 7th one looks beautiful! I mean, it's not as spectacular as most professional anime art but it's still beautiful and I seen actual wallpapers and clip art that doesn't hair shading that good, some that you have to pay money for. The last one is cute but she looks a bit out of proportion. I guess if it wasn't anime art style it could work but since it is, it doesn't. However, you were younger at the time and for a 12-16 year old, it's really good art. Love the texture on the trees btw
