Happy birthday to me || Art Journey

hello everyone! this is reaper

today is officially my birthday

I've been in this community for a long time coming up on 5 years and I've been a curator for around 1 year and this experience has made a major impact on my life growing up

its shown me my love for art as well as my love for helping this moderation team and everyone in the community and I cannot thank these experiences enough as it has given me a view I cannot have any other way

its had it's ups and downs but this has been amazing so far and a blast to be apart of this community and I've met so many wonderful people

I've stated I've been drawing for a long time around 9 to 10 years now and since it is my birthday id love to share my past art... showing how far along I've come over the years

and to ask how I got this good

I cant tell you, not in the sense it's a secret but that it's hard to understand... sometimes these types of things work differently for people one may work for someone and not for the other that journey can differ and change depending on your experiences and what the outcome is, it's a reflection of

you

you are perfect art wise the way you are even if you think your art has no value

to someones eye it will always be enough and perfect if you enjoy your time drawing and are happy then that is what matters in the end

not the perception you have to be perfect at everything... you drawing and showing your creativity to the world is enough dont let the idea that what you do can never stack up to others

as your art is fully you, and its perfect just the way it is

if you want to improve you can but what matters is you first.

dont let peoples perception affect how you feel

now thank you for reading my ramble... and I'm sure you want to see some art so I'll be showing it from oldest to newest for enjoyment

thank you all for your commitment to me as an artist... it has meant the world and I hope you enjoy

thank you all so much for looking through I tried to show pieces that could show the visible gaps in progress the most...

I've lost the physical of media I've had such as sketches but the digital art in the beggining goes back to 2019... so it was a slow build up but worth it

and to awnser a question

yes.. I used to go by moon.269 aka moonwolf269 but changed part way to how you know me today ItzReaperWolfson or Reaper as of about 4 years ago so interesting throw back in my art

I hope you all enjoyed
