Some years ago I started drawing or painting every day. 15 minutes some days, hours on others. I've always done artwork, but never quite been this prolific. It wasn't really a formal thing to begin with, just something I started doing one day.

And am quite happy with the results.

My art improved and is probably more creative. Not only that, but I started taking more risks and moving out of my comfort zone. Some days, I just don't know what to draw when I'm staring at the paper - like writers block. But I make a few lines anyway and see what I can build from there.

I don't know if I'm surprised at results or not, just pleased.

As someone with no artistic talent, I would love to see the improvements. I myself would like to do something similar. Can you upload your before and after arts that you have made?

Somewhat - I don't keep dated picture files. And keep in mind, I started oil painting at 8 years old, taken as much instruction as I could, and sold and stuff, so what you and I would see as improvement might differ quite a bit. Plus as a beginner, you wind up with different sorts of improvement goals.

But nevertheless, three links. I've only started with watercolors a few years ago, about the same time I started doing daily art, so some of this is learning to control it properly. The first link was near the beginning, the second quite a bit later, and the third being one of my most recent pictures.
