holy shit, art really does take a while to get good at

I was looking through this guy on pixilart who’s REALLY good, and I saw his gallery and noticed that there were OVER 1,600 DRAWINGS IN IT

I decided to scroll through and it was filled with a ton of awesome stuff

but as I went lower I noticed some changes in the style and some slight changes in quality, but still nothing major

then I got close to the bottom, the quality was much lower, it wasn’t terrible, but it definitely wasn’t anything close to their current level of quality

he started out not the greatest, but with a lot of attempts, got better, and with a LOT more work, became incredible at what he did

and in no way am I saying this sort of journey wouldn’t be incredibly difficult, but just the fact that people do it just out of passion and that it’s possible is incredible, and the phase of being absolutely crap is discouraging, but just part of the process

if you want to see what I mean here’s his account: https://www.pixilart.com/emeraldserpent/gallery
