I remember in middle school that some girls told me that my best friend wanted to talk to me in the bathroom, and I went to see what she wanted, but she wasn't in the bathroom. When I got back to class, the binder I kept my sketches in was gone. It made me so sad, and I cried my heart out. I found out later that my "best friend" threw my binder away. It really hurt me that she would do such a thing.

It's really weird when you look at your old art then your recent art and think that you made all of it.

[Cassarilla]

I love hearing the journeys of other artists! It's so inspiring to see your art along the way and just how different art journeys can be from one person to the next.

These videos really inspire me to keep on drawing so thanks for the inspiration :D

Wow. Our stories are parallel in some ways! I grew up drawing tons of Pokemon fanart. I also went to school and studied animation, then realising animation is tough and requires a lot of patience. Now that I've graduated from school and started working, I decided recently that I would honestly rather focus more on illustration than animation.

[mjpete]

You are so very lucky to have been able to focus on your art so early in your life! I am excited to learn even more about your art journey in future videos!
Go Erika!

Love this, I still have most of my old artwork too. Can't bring myself to throw it away.

[moonstarstories]

I started to draw (thing that's not scribbles anyways) when I was around 7 and I started to draw consistently (on a daily basis) when I was 10.

Pokemon was also my favorite thing to draw as a kid!! Sadly they were all on paper that I don't have anymore so it didn't make it into the art journey video I just posted, but I remember drawing ash with his hat shadow over his face and I was really proud of it, lol. Also I hope anyone reading this has a good day! Chase your dreams!! :D

Would you believe me I'd I said I have that same purple folder and it's also filled with old computer paper drawings? I personally also had a binder with my art in laminated folders that I brought to school everyday in Middle School.

[birdiefromthewindow]

[rionada]
