[DRAWINGS] Doodles and Finished Pieces 2.0

As I've told you many times, the key of improvement is partly looking for new things to do and not to take drawing seriously. If you see drawing as a fun thing where you can fuck up and still enjoy it, then you're in the right track! Because development and improvement comes faster when you aren't forced to do it and are not afraid to make mistakes.

Making mistakes and doing poor art is the way of improving so even if you feel your art isn't 'there' yet, don't forget that each piece you do will point to that direction.

I tend to draw something I like, then something that I don't really know how to do. I find it's easier for me to focus this way, because I can draw my usual stuff and challenge myself later with something completely different: I won't stagnate, or make the learning process a chore.

On another note (still related to the post), if you make a bad art, don't throw it away or despise it. Keep it and try it later. It'll amaze you how much you've improved (much like the pic you just posted!) Showing us progress is the only way to improve, because an amazing artist who never shares his art is basically not an artist.

So should I focus on drawing on paper first, or is it okay to juggle between paper and tablet? I enjoy doing both, but my long-term biggest dream is to fully seek out digital art. Especially Touhou art.
 
Here's some stuff I've done with my tablet:

On the subject of traditional art, I also 'redrew' that picture of my OC but this time I wanted her hand to be on her waist, and for her to have a more noticeable expression. I also tried to shade it and failed miserably. But oh well https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B7691AzIQAAQ3fv.jpg:large

Also here's a picture of my OC crying because sad times: http://ikeychain.deviantart.com/art/Nata...-508891456
