First things first, those drawings are pretty good. However, I don't really like your association that age has anything to do with the ability to draw.

I firmly believe that the ability to draw comes mostly from practice and a little bit of talent. Anyone who can hold a pencil should be able to draw well given enough practice and observation and with proper technique.

That being said, I definitely can't draw as well as you do because I haven't done my homework hahaha

Hey lamster, thanks for your comment, i know aswell that age has nothing really to do with it, but when i drew these i was very young and not as talented as i am now. I am just posting these up for people to have a look at and comment on, i thought the title would be catchy :)

Anyways thanx again for your thoughts, anyone can draw thats not rocket science, it how well they represent an image or object in collaboration with the amount of experience they have in the field that counts. I had no experience being so young, and i was trying to prove that.

If you were 15 now, I'd congratulate you, but seeing as you're 22, all I'll say is: just to think how good you'd be if only you hadn't stopped... (I won a writing contest when I was eleven, and had I put in the hours, I might have written a book by now. But I didn't and I haven't.)

P.S. The "Clunk!" -thingie on your website is quite dynamic, but seeing in play time after time gets really annoying. Also, you'd do well to read one of the portfolio-threads in General discussions; there are lots of people who loathe flash-sites, and some of those people might be in the position of hiring you.

Just curious, how come you stopped drawing 7 years ago? You know what they say; if you don't use it, you lose it.....

hey guys thnx for the comments, i have noticed how annoying my site is and am making a new version atm or when i get more time! I havent really stopped drawing, having this kind of talent kinda stays with you i feel, i use my ability to design and draft up characters for my 3d work. I wish i had more time to draw honestly is a great passion of mine and i hope i will get a chance one day!

Thanx for the helpful comments guys keep em coming!!! :)
