How has your art evolved over time?

[Selene310187]

The purpose of this thread is to show that everyone can improve their artistic skills if they don't give up trying and keep practicing. I believe that there's no "good" or "bad" art. Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder and different views make the world an interesting place.

Speaking of myself...

My problem was getting the proportions of the characters right (and some other things). I often drew their legs very close together like in this picture from 2002:

Then I bought art practice books and followed some guides regarding proportions and anatomy.

Also the style of certain characters evolved:

Zedric and Dark Lady in 2002

Zedric and Dark Lady in 2005

Zedric's staff and Dark Lady's armor in the pictures from 2005 served as concept arts for 3d models which I built many years later:

Nowadays, I mostly paint landscapes:

I'm curious to learn more about your journey as an artist.
