Old artwork.

I am not naturally talented. Some artists are. Some can inherently look at things and draw what they see... not me. I'm a good artist because I've practiced, like any musician or cook or athlete. I have people tell me all the time, "I wish I could draw like that!" Well, five years ago I thought the same thing. And I've put a lot of hard work into getting where I am now.

I was going through my DeviantART scraps to find some old artwork to emphasize this point. The atrocities I found... I had forgotten they even existed.

Also, I was just really entertained by my stupid younger self. I thought I was so cool. *eye roll*
