Horses, such magnificent creature,,

This is of a friend of mine in college taking a break from rollerskating. She is sitting on a short wall surrounding the rink and this is a top-down view of her skates.

A drawing from around 6 years ago during freshmen year at college. I needed something to draw, so my friend put a plush animal on another, and I went for it.

Some of the characters that inspired me to start drawing at an early age. Can you see any of your favourites in there too?

I planned to make a comic with these characters as well as a few others, but abandoned the idea as I didn't think it was unique enough. I still like the characters though. Maybe I will do something with them in the future...

This is the first time I’ve ever posted anything I’ve drawn online, and it’s been a year since I last drew something. I started making little doodles about a year ago, but I sold my iPad due to financial difficulties. However, after the whole AI fiasco with Studio Ghibli, I felt compelled to get back into drawing because it enraged me to see my favorite company being disrespectfully treated. Once my mom saw I was drawing again, she asked me to draw her dog. And this is the best I could do. Now, I’m facing the same issue I encountered over a year ago. It took me two hours to complete this, and I’m not proud of the result. How do you gain confidence to just keep going? I have 13 days before my return window is up and I hate this feeling that I’m never gonna improve. I want to chase this dream to be an animator one day…but sometimes it just seems impossible. .
