Okay okay before I begin, I know I'm a few weeks late, but I've been a bit busy right now.
Although I'm srsly busy right now, I thought I might as well get this over and done with...

It all began in July 21st 2013...

I was just a naïve 13 year old who was obsessed with YouTubers and wanted to be an artist...

My friend :iconteemay: introduced me to deviantArt and told me to post my "artworks" there.

All I can say is that they were indeed horrible...

I mean seriously, take a look at this drawing I drew in July 2013:



Dan and Phil by vishthefish2013(cringes so badly >_<)

I'm still surprised people liked these drawings because OH MY GOD they are horrible...
... I'm guessing they were lying back then, but without those supportive comments, I would've never continued art.

I didn't go on dA for 5 months after because I began to focus more on my studies than my art.
In November 2013, I downloaded an amazing app called 'Sketchbook Express' from windows store and it's amazing! (i still use it today!)


Although it started off really crap...

…to the point where I began to receive more recognition from people...

People from my school and my friends began to request commissions from me...

I couldn't believe it.
People actually liked my work.
Even my teachers began to comment on my drawings (this one time, my English teacher asked me to draw her. So I did and what she did was she printed the drawing of and stuck it on her window in her office. It was seriously the weirdest moment of my life. Literally.)

Before I only drew Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil
But now, I've started to draw other YouTubers and people...






I've began to find my style (which is starry backgrounds) and drawing eyes...

I know my journey is still continuing, but I still can't believe that I've improved in the course of a year. 

It went from this...

...to This.

... and that concludes my deviantArt story (:

Although there is more to this journey (like my photography, animating and traditional drawing) I decided to focus more on my digital art

This is my journey so far and I look forward to the future.
As once Walt Disney once said
"
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths..."

I look forward to reading YOUR story ^______________________^

Thank you so much for an amazing year on deviantArt!!
