So I though this might be an interesting thing to do! I'm posting images of not only how my art style progressed over time, but also Nightingale's design progression in one~ I'll probably post more non-Nightingale related images later~ <3
I organized these images by year, from OLDEST TO NEWEST! Please tell me what you think! I'd love to hear what you have to say :3 I messed with a bunch of styles, so thats probably why each drawing looks so different than the other, I still don't have a solid style.
You guys can see how disproportionate my early drawings are XD I didn't have Photoshop (my first digital art program) until maybe late 2011, so most of these are sketch drawings. Though I'll also put up digitals. Personally I think my hand drawn work is better, though I suck at coloring traditionally, so yeah.
My art site : gerce.deviantart.com <3
Enjoy!!
P.S. - ALL the big cat/lion/panther/leopard drawings you see in here right now are early concepts of my OC Nightingale, the rest are random~

X3 Thanks so much! I had been drawing since waaay before 2010, but 2010 was the earliest I can find of drawings of Nightingale, so I just started there~ I have been wanting to make something like this for a while though XD, even just for myself, I think its so cool to look back at your art and see how you've grown. Maybe later I'll find some of my REALLY old stuff and post that too hehe~
I don't know what to say. D: All so amazing<3 I have..like no words for this. Teach me your ways oUo
Green eyes look pretty on her, but it's however you want her eyes to be.
Thanks for sharing these with us<3

>u< Thank you!! I'm excited people actually seeing these sort of things, I've always wanted to share this heheh. I would love to teach you but since I just kinda developed skill over time I wouldn't know what else to say other than practice :'D I just practiced others styles until I could do it without looking, and just do that on and on until I could make my own style...
