This is the latest picture I could find. It's from 2017 (on the 24th of October! My birthday!). It's not even when I started drawing mainly because my mum accidentally threw away my first sketchbook
But this is close enough.

(What it says: With these wings I can brush off my inner Demons. With these wings you can finally gaze into my eyes and see a happy man inside. It took me so long to realize I CAN be strong; however, how you treat my "wings", as a curse or as a blessing; is up to you, not me. It helps me realize how beautiful my mind can be. Explanation: My character is standing in his own mind, and he's a Demon with very pretty wings. Therefore the "curse" part of his "wings".)

I know i have older drawings, but this is the only one that's on my computer lol (this has to be at least 5 years old, but I've basically been drawing since before i could talk)

And then here's a drawing I made of my Dungeons and Dragons character! (which was drawn in mid-January of this year)

@Periwinkle_

Emi that a lot of improvement, and same to you aloe Vera! I especially love that last sketch of yours, that girl looks so good

@AloeVera groupMentallyImInACottage

Thank you! And I adore your style, not only the amazing digital drawing but the lineart! I love the stylized feel of it :)

And here's a painting I did in March of this year:

Awww thank you! I started taking art seriously about four years ago. But, I think we're ignoring something here

THAT PAINTING IS AMAZING

you've really improved like a lot

@ninja_violinist

Thank you! I'm happy with it too
(for now) (I'll doubtlessly look back on it in shame in a few months) (but for now I'm happy with how it turned out)

@Starfast group

This was back in 2014, right when I was getting into digital art. This is the first thing I uploaded to my DeviantArt account, and I redraw it every year on the anniversary that I posted it.

Me three please. Also, I just want to point out that I'm hella impressed with the fact that those two drawings were done less than a year apart.
