ITT: we post our early/first works

looking at my old stuff makes me want to die

One of my first finished pieces

>>7622566
reminds me of Stick war

>>7622557 (OP)

I started to draw because I wanted to make comics about anime characters
>>7622576
if this is your early work you must be a master by now holy shit

2018

2013

from when I was 6 :)

>>7622576
I hope you expanded on this style and didn't turn into something worse.

>>7622557 (OP)
>first works thread
>half the images are blatantly not first works
/ic/ is the most dishonest board

>>7622557 (OP)
from 2019

>>7622651
mogs me

from a few years ago

Earliest thing I could find. Angsty tween Redditor days. I think this was supposed to be something like Gungnir ED. I really do miss my old drawings. Shame I tossed them in a volatile state, but it is what it is.

2017

here, a composition book, from elementary school, so it's very, very old. somehow survive a rat infested attic. it smells bad, it's deteriorating, some pages look like swiss cheese, and looks like it got a decades old rat piss stain, i scroll to the pages to see if i had anything decent looking, but no, it's noting but children drawings. no talent to be found, just a bunch of crude stick figures, and thing-things fighting to the death. i'm still shit at drawing, but looking back, i'm less shit.

>>7622994
kek if i were you i'd take pictures/scan the thing b4 it disintergrates

>>7622599
Based. Post your latest railgun drawing anon.

As a youth I drew my own Pokéman cards. I was probably older than I'd think I was when I drew these.

>>7622651
no talent

>>7623081
You are entirely correct! I can't draw a proper line even to this day.

>>7622557 (OP)
2016

>>7623089
Are you >>7621753?

>>7622576
Cool

>>7623031
2021 vs 2025. still ways to go but I'm happy with the improvement

>>7622557 (OP)
2022

>>7623472
I'm still miffed about that 4koma thread dying from OP abandonment, because it was a great reoccurring thread idea. I'd start it up myself if it weren't for the fact that I'd be a shitty thread hypeman.

>>7623508
ah yeah. don't know what happened, maybe op just found it difficult to come up with funny themes

8 september last year. the day i started drawing
it looks so horrible now but i thought it was so good when i drew it lmfao

2020

>>7623766
I made this one in 2020 during covid

First thing I drew once I got a tablet 2 years ago.

But this is a good excuse to go dig out my old notebooks from grade school.

Its one of my earliest stuff digitially. I dont have access to my trad stuff right now.

This was the first drawing I posted on a 30 day learn to draw group chat thingo with some mates

>>7622557 (OP)
late 2022 to early 2023 I think

a disturbing lack of loomis heads ITT

Not really early but from 5 years ago or so. Remember having loads of fun drawing it.

I think this is from when I was 8-10 years old, also the "date" on it, is not in gregorian calendar.

>>7622557 (OP)
can we have "draw this again" thread?

>>7622565
same, although its not generally technical problem, but my old stupid ideas.

2005 or so. Earliest pic I can get on my phone

>>7625537
Same year (I thought the Sin City movie was the coolest thing....)

>>7625467
Cute

Stuff from early high school, with redesigns from late high school.

>>7625458
>He fell for it

>>7622651

>>7622716

>>7622994
how have you progressed?

>>7626751

>>7625738

I didn't save any of my early trad stuff, so here's my first digital work from around 2000.

>>7626751

>>7627266

>>7625750

>>7622557 (OP)
one of my first digital drawings, from like october or november i think.

>>7622557 (OP)
One of the first life drawings I made when getting back into it

>>7627766
Is this dark souls ? Lol. Looks nice

>>7627293
Top guy is supposed to be a shirtless pirate. At the kindergarten level age I drew this I felt no shame in depicting moobs. Other guy is supposed to be one of those wooden cutouts you see in parks in stuff where you put your face in the hole so you look like the character. It was based off a park ranger.

>>7622557 (OP)
Kindergarten

>pedobear

did you even know as a kid what it was or just randomly scribbling internet memes?

I remember somehow making it my headcanon that pedobear was there to warn about lolicons, not himself being one kek

I was really into Chainsaw Man at the time.

>>7627933
Yes! I love the Elite Knight set.

>>7627079
what doth thy art look like now, o ancient mage?

>>7628298

>>7628106
yeah i did, my friend who drew much better drew that one
shes also the one who introduced me to memes overall back then (remeber rage comics? XD)

>>7622557 (OP)
Oh hell yeah, I wish I could see everyone's earlies, they always have a strong indication of the subjects reasoning for wanting to draw.

>>7628300
Kinda reminds me of shinda292
great stuff mayne

I like this one from 2020

my first "serious" one, from 2024

from elementary school

>>7630116

>>7622557 (OP)

>>7630551

Would have been around 11 when I made this peak.

>>7631400
HOLY KINO

From early/mid 2019. I have earlier trad drawings, but I don't have access to a scanner at the moment.

It was actually pretty satisfying to see how shit my early work was

>>7622566
Old pc point and click vibes.

>>7631366
did this year april fools teach you anything?

>>7631400
this fucks so hard i hope you made more

>>7631400
This is fucking hilarious

>all this SOVL
I'm gonna cum.

>>7631454
OHHH NO NO NO

>>7631528
Unfortunately my foray into comedy was a short one. That would have been right before I discovered the library had manga and everything changed.

Late high school stuff with a recent remake.

This is the oldest thing I have access too, 2019 gave birth to this monstrosity

from today, this is my second not-a-doodle work

Another one. I was using Illustrator at the time. Drawing back then was just as much of a pain as it is now. I guess it really doesn't get better.

College project.

from 2020

>>7622557 (OP)

2007

>>7637097
Puke Kirby goes hard.

>>7637825

The first Boris,age 14.

I saw some anime that made it to local NYC station in the late 70s, and it had an ensorcelled Princess who's kingdom was taken over by a "goblin" who used magic to turn her servants into mice.

Me celebrating CD's 5 year anniversary

>>7644177
Before...

>>7644178
After

>>7644180
After the after

>>7644185

My first attemp at actually learning to draw, this was copying a video on YouTube

>>7644866
Next day, I remember feeling really proud of this and getting motivated to keep trying

>>7644870
Trying a screenless drawing tablet for the first time, it felt very awkward, specially because of how small it was compared to my laptop screen

>>7644878
Bonus, here's a random drawing I did as kid. I don't have the original, but I took a photo with my DSi

i remember trying to draw at around 9 - 10 years old in class but got made fun of which put me off until i was like 16

>>7622557 (OP)
One of the first ever drawings I did in digital

>>7645321
kek

>>7645321
I bet this is you. sorry it's a sloppy screen capture bc you're not worth the effort.

>>7645338
What hurt you so badly about the joke? Hopefully it's not the CCP flag, can't believe that we have actual Muritards here

High school stuff.

>>7637905
then i have no idea what you're tm4nrhalking about

>>7644882
:')

>>7644870
he (or she?) cute, would follow your art progress as you go if you had a place for it

>>7645672
She, that's Rakka from Haibane Renmei. I don't post anywhere other than 4chan, but not very often. Picrel is the last thing I was working on, if you are curious.

>>7646788
you should post stuff somewhere, if only to create an archive of it online for people to see!

>>7622557 (OP)
something i made on the drawpile 5 years ago

Ah,puberty.

:D

Sorry,curious about getting it vertical.

>>7648319
He came all over her? Is that his mother? That's kinda hot

>>7648344
A local farmer gets involved with the leader of a traveling troup of minstrels. Years later,when I started incorporating old characters into new roles,they became terrorists/freedom fighters for anthromorph emancipation.

>inb4 That fucking comic again.
:(

Can't let the thread die,can we?

Early high school.
