For the longest time, I've always felt the desire to be able to draw. Many times I have these ideas, but there's just no way to transfer my thoughts to paper. Well, I want to fix that. In spite of being in front of all the amazing artists of Smeargle's Studio, I want to try and start improving my drawing skills. That's why I made this thread, to just draw to the best of my ability.
I've found a new program called Sumo Paint which seems to work very well, so I am currently using that instead of ol' Microsoft Paint.
Anyways, here is a complete list of all my completed works, with their individual stages, presented in chronological order (From top to bottom) and in hide tags for your convenience. I'll probably be able to make one every day or two, and I would love comments and constructive criticism.
