Wow. O.O You are like SUPER good! 

ping your art is 0.o especially 5&6 wow

I think you're really good. I'm never gonna be that great when I'm 17 >.<

I nade a stencil out of canvas and placed it on top of another canvas. I then lit fireworks (called dino eggs) on top of it. Only the exposed areas were burnt. I then drew on it with ink and painted it with oil paint.Yurp.

I can only do firework art during Chinese New Year or Hari Raya because that's the only time they sell fireworks.

Oh yeah, look at this

you can see that a lot of people improve immensely over a short period od time. There's no point in saying 'I'll never get that good' because you won't if you do. But never set an expectation of how good you should be in the future because you'll be dissapointed if you don't make it. Just keep practicing and see how things go.

It's not mean Ice. It's true.
I actually noticed it was kind of wonky while I was painting it, but I hoped no one would notice xD

I don't like that t-rex. It's rubbish. I did it in 45 minutes. I know it sounds like I'm disregarding all of your critique, but this 'curve-straight line' thing you mentioned is really just a part of my style. If you look at all of my drawings, including my sculptures, you see this 'curve-straight line' thing


I honestly don't know why I do it, I don't think it improves the image. I just do it you see. My sister hates it but I just can't stop drawing like that and I don't really think it makes a difference anyways.

I know I've been saying this a lot. But I really didn't put ANY effort into the t rex. I only painted it in because my art teacher told me to. I didn't think, I just did it like I had to.

I appreciate the crit though. I don't really like only hearing positive critique because it's not useful, reasonably negative critique is always better than any praise.

Being critical of oneself is always the best thing for growth. Curbing your ego is important. If you're too proud or egotistic, you never leave the spot you stand on. I mean, why leave that spot if you're not perfect anymore? Of course, you do get people who lose confidence and just stop in general. I say being scared of failure or not improving never does anything. You're the only one at lost, you just left behind a whole load of fun.

Lately, I've been quite critical of my subject matter. It seems that my work walks around in circles, never getting anywhere. But that's my aim (hard to explain, I'll give you a wall of text if you ask me to explain). In general, I like quite humble artwork. I don't like being forceful, I want to create art  that looks 'quiet'. Humility and being content is what I've been playing around a theme for a while. I address it in several different ways of course.
