How I’ve drawn Twilight since late 2011

I get very annoyed when people claim that no matter how hard they practice, they know for a fact that they’ll never get better. Maybe you don’t see the changes as you progress but as long as you keep practicing and do the best you can, you will get better

Don’t just stop because you aren’t as good as that artist you look up to, and don’t be discouraged because you think you never will be. It’s healthy to have some self-pity every now and again, and it’s okay to feel sad when that picture you wanna draw just isn’t coming out right. But don’t let it hold you down until it breaks you. Take some time off, relax, and try try again

So never assume that practice doesn’t help, because it does. Time and practice are most likely not the things you wanna hear when you ask someone how to improve, but honestly, it’s the truth. Give yourself time and be patient. You’ll be shocked at how far you’ve come in due time

A very important message.

(And a great job from the cutest rock! >3<)

Welp. I’ve managed to piss some people off by not updating over the weekend and doing other things.

This is a sign that I have a problem. SOMEONE! MOTIVATE ME! NOW!!
