Nova Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 So i came to the decision that i delete most of my DA art. Well i did many bad things. I copied from Tv shows things like kill la kill, steven universe onto my characters and i messed up my characters too. I also traced from an anime something. I felt bad for tracing and copying things. But after i noticed i did all these things I decided to change and start to delete all of the art and more of DA. Well i am doing a restart i try to make my own original art. I just don't want to end up bad like some people on deviantart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallium Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 At least back that crap up somewhere :C Having shitty art you did in the past around reminds you how much better youve gotten since then, I wouldnt delete it if I were you. But if thats the case well, congrats on moving on and trying to get better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGravitas Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I agree with WolfNight; never hurts to keep a backup. I think you'll be surprised how far you come someday and it'll be good to do comparisons. I hope you're new approach proves fruitful!

True, Even though some of the art is horrible i can back it up and look back at it and than at my current art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Removing irrelevant stuff from your old art? Yes. Getting rid of everything? No. I can tell from experience that my biggest motivation builder is my old stuff. Looking at it I always go "Jeez I was THIS bad?". We all draw things that even in the future won't hold much value. But there's also the occasional sketch in which something has been figured out, or is/was just a really good one. Those are worth keeping. I happened to have gotten rid of some of my old art last week. It used to be a 1 inch binder full to the brim. I'm sure I could throw even more stuff away, but all my loose sheets now fit into a single duo-tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm glad that you've moved on from tracing; you may find drawing is more enjoyable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
