    No, I just randomly felt like doing this about 5 days ago, and slowly did that xD Though getting back into it would be nice indeed, but no pressure there~
    I've set myself a little goal along with this, to work at least a bit on my drawing each day. So far I managed to did that, with this picture. Later today I'm gonna try starting something furry (for a difference, lol), and take it slowly. A bit of work each day. No rushing.

    'Tis one for @Icestar :3 I'm quite happy with my drawing skill progress.
    Now there are two more dragons down the line to draw... *winks at @Exeter and @Hybrid88 * (also excuse me if the color combo on the background looks bad for you, for me it looks quite nice and it's better than plain white. Of course I can change it if needed~)

    That's because I do ^^ I still kinda have to force myself to begin drawing, but when I make the move and complete that terribly long, 10 second sequence of getting the tablet out and plugging it, I feel like I'm going for an adventure! :D

    @Exeter So here's one for ya :3
    Tried to make it better, first by trying to draw a full-body, I failed, then I tried to at least give it some shading... I guess this must suffice for now before I break my tablet in desperation xD I hope you'll enjoy this.

    It's just... UGH countless tries to make both full-body and (in this case or) shading looks at least somewheat plausible... My skills are like "NOPE BRO" :<
    But I'm glad you enjoy it ^^

    It'll be a while before you make anything you're really proud of, but that's okay, it takes time to become an artist. Gotta make a whole lot of mistakes and keep trying before you get anything right ^^ Gotta try new things and keep practicing little things until you master them. Gotta accept all the mistakes as part of the learning process, and just gotta keep practicing ^^

    Sweetie practice more on paper and I'm sure you'll find tablet easier afterwards.

    Trying to begin working on thing for @Hybrid88 ... but instead this came up, like in 2 minutes. Uber simple, yet somehow worth calling finished.

    Huh. This started out as a loose doodle, and when I refined it a bit, and quickly colored, it has some potential. WIP, but I'll be definitely working on refining this (correcting the sketch, linearting, properly coloring etc)

    So I did refine the previous thingy, also experimented with brushes to give a "smoking fire in the room" look, I think it doesn't look bad (for my skill level, that is) :D
    Also, "behind the closed bulkhead there lies a great terror".

    I don't know why my sketches actually look better to me than clean lineart. Any ideeas?

    There's a lot more movement in the sketches, that might be one thing you're seeing. It makes the picture feel more alive in a way.

    Okay, so I tried to make @Icestar 's meme, but filling all the panels out would take ages still. I need to figure out how to draw things and how they work so I won't be spending hours correcting them at each panel :D

    But, during the process, the first panel actually turned well enough to be made into separate picture (there was only linearting and coloring to do, sketch was just copy-paste from the meme lol) of Arclight. First art of him made by me! (well, technically second, but first one that turned out well lol)
