The "im 12 and how do i draw" Reminiscence of Old (read: bad) Artwork Thread! - General

Hello, Creationism Corner! First off, :siren:[highlight]This thread is NOT for creating 5 second shit in MS Paint, but stuff you legitimately put effort into in the [i]past![/i][/highlight]:siren: Now, this thread I have made here takes a break from what we normally see here. In this thread, we post old stuff that we did back before any of us had any ability, or our old failed attempts at various artistic talents. Got any pictures from when you were new to this whole 'art' thing and didn't know a paintbrush from a 2B pencil? Post it here! What about the first ever piece of digital art you tried to do, WITH YOUR MOUSE? Post that guy here too. And not only that, but say you're an experienced painter, and one day a couple years ago you decided to try pixel art, with disasterous results? This is the thread for that too. Yes, this is a thread where comments and criticism are obsolete, this is a thread where we can look back and laugh at how bad some of the stuff we've made really was. Please note, this thread is open for [b]any[/b] kind of creative work, just nothing you're serious about doing, or anything you want C&C on, or anything that you want to improve on. This is a thread for horriffic failures. [b]New feature![/b] :woop: If you desire, you can post some current work alongside your horrid stuff for comparison, or even post many works that show how your skill improved over time! It's always nice to see that. Without further ado, I'll kick this off with (thumbnails because some of these are huge): My old avatar from my Trackmania team, before I even knew what "photoshop" was. [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/A527Q.jpg[/img_thumb] A few of my [i]horriffic[/i] attempts at being "artistic" with photoshop at school (first time I'd ever used it): [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/fohsC.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/qSmlq.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/vObaU.jpg[/img_thumb] ^This last one, I have NO IDEA why I thought it was a good idea. Here we have the worst filter rape of ALL TIME And finally, my first attempts to draw "anime style", aka the reason why you should never do this if you can't draw in the first place: [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/iw1do.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/qZy8D.jpg[/img_thumb] (you have no idea how much courage I need to muster to even [i]look[/i] at this tripe) Yeah, it's surprisingly hard for me to look back at the worst stuff I've ever attempted to create, but this thread's just for a bit of a laugh. Don't make me look silly, I'm sure everyone got at least one thing left on their hard drive that they really cringe when they look back on!

A couple years back I couldn't draw girls at all. This was one of my first attempts at it. [img_thumb]http://www.deviantart.com/download/76873223/Pants_that_have_been_Toasted_by_ghostlemur.png[/img_thumb] Ha. I also used to "draw" in basic geometric shapes. [img_thumb]http://www.deviantart.com/download/43941266/Wrist_pains_by_ghostlemur.png[/img_thumb] Everything else I used to have is either all locked away in a brief case in my room or burned out of disgust of how I used to draw.

I've thrown away most of my art. The oldest I have is work from my freshman year.

All my old crappy stuff is traditional art... :smithicide:

Oh god I have this I must find it. I'm sure I have some on my old Photobucket account. Oh my gosh. My first attempt at computer art. I was uhm. 10? Maybe? [img]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/LOLZERZ_01/DanceoftheWind-ChristmasRatedCopy2.jpg[/img] I don't even know how I thought that looked good. But yeah, I did that with a mouse. And this... oh geez. [img]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/LOLZERZ_01/actualIodreameater.jpg[/img] I guess it's not TOO bad... oh wait yes it is. Okay, last one. I tried to draw an elf. x) [img]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/LOLZERZ_01/Inprogress-1.jpg[/img]

Actually, I'm pretty sure my shit still wins on being the terrible-est. Especially that filter rape one and the "anime style" one.

Even if the first one odesn't look female in any way.

OH my god OP's photoshop shit made me go bleergh haha Here's my old shit This is my first offical drawing ever, still embarrased by the story that follows it [IMG_thumb]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs13/i/2007/013/6/7/3v1l_armor_by_Infernomonster.jpg[/IMG_thumb] It's arthur from WCIII manual, can't you tell*? This was I think my first digital painting, 3 or more years ago, with a borrowed tablet [IMG_thumb]http://th05.deviantart.net/fs24/PRE/f/2007/320/7/6/Dancing_rocket_man_by_Infernomonster.png[/IMG_thumb] And there was this time I tought I could do wallpapers [IMG_thumb]http://th06.deviantart.net/fs28/PRE/f/2008/061/2/6/bad_mood_by_Infernomonster.png[/IMG_thumb] And the very first page of my very first sketchbook [IMG_THUMB]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs35/i/2008/295/1/2/My_sketchbook_pg1_by_Infernomonster.jpg[/IMG_THUMB]

It's face makes you know that it isn't fucking around.

I think this is my first ever drawing- when I was 2 :buddy: [img]http://ahb.me/14aK[/img] My dad helped me draw around cups.

I couldn't have been more than 12-13 when I began using paint. [IMG]http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/442/greytones.png[/IMG] Was a bitch to do the transparent look of the smoke

Better then half of the users in the MS Paint section.

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;26482584]That uses brushes from Windows 7 paint. Windows 7 was released in '09. You're 13.[/QUOTE] I don't see any AA, could easily have been xp paint.

Draw anything, select it and hold shift. BAM, Windows 98 and upwards brushes.

On-topic: Found an old picture of this, uh, thing i made in a shitty free 3D modelling program I got. I didn't even change the generic shapes. I'll upload it later, but let me tell you it looks fucking funny. I'm so glad I made this thread, it's fun :buddy:

I stand corrected.

Back in 2005 (Age 11 or 12, I forget) I played this shitty ganster game and I started learning photoshop because of it. Awful stuff: [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/Nomercycopy.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/billed2.jpg[/img_thumb] 2007: I realized how fun Photoshop actually was and started learning it better. I was still awful at it. [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/Untitled-4.jpg[/img_thumb] 2007 and a half: I became independent from tutorials. [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/Lolzers.jpg[/img_thumb] 2008-2009: I discovered Photoshop contests and began creating all manners of crazy crap - I slowly build up skill, but I'm still pretty terrible: [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/MPIMP.png[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/Smoka.png[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/KnockKnockWhosThereSoldier.png[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/Buggar.png[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/Untitled-4-1.gif[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/hemblahem/McCreepy.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1144.snc4/148600_123790541013617_100001480152480_160560_1306888_n.jpg[/img_thumb] End of 2009: I take up an interest in studio photography, I'm hired by a newspaper e.t.c., e.t.c.

I did these back when i was like 12 for a 'fantasy theme' in my art class. I think I'll redo them! [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2dgl286.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/24xfne8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/21a0503.jpg[/IMG]

All of these are better than my drawings now. :smithicide:

[QUOTE=MightyMax;26484910]All of these are better than my drawings now. :smithicide:[/QUOTE] Me too. I lost interest in drawing shortly after I drew the stuff I posted in this thread.

I also never did get a real 3D modelling program (that one was so bad, you couldn't do much aside from mess around with the default geometric shapes), but maybe some day I'll learn some shit and take that up as a hobby.
