oldies won`t be forgotten

I should be studying hard because I will have 2 exams next week but eh... Internet is more fascinating. :---D I decided to post my old drawings for you to see how my style has improved.


2005



I was 13 years old and I had read W.i.t.c.h series. I liked the style in W.i.t.c.h so it had influenced my drawing style a lot. I also finally got an own computer and soon I started to read manga. The second picture is the first drawing that I drew digitally on an oekaki board. : D Haha.


2006


I turned 14 and my father bought me a tablet (I am still using it haha, it is a little dead these days). I was very into drawing digitally and I spent a lot time on oekaki boards. I also drew some traditional art (the second picture) but mostly digital stuff. And yes, I was very inspired by manga style, heh. : D


2007







I think that 2007 was "the year of change" for me, heh. I was finally somehow happy with my digital art (the lineart, colouring... ) but I had started to get a little tired in manga inspired style. I noticed that my parents and some other people could hardly see any difference between all that manga inspired stuff and the idea about that made me sad. I guess that I hoped that people could recognize my art and my style started to look unoriginal to me. So I wanted to improve it. The noses started to change first, I started to make them reddish and my characters became even shorter and their anatomy changed. I also started to love reddish cheeks, heh! I found a digital colouring style that suited my style (picture three and four) better and I think that the last picture looks already looks like pretty much "me". : D

2008



I was 16 years old and I started high school. Finally I knew how I`d like to draw and I was happy about my style. : ) Big ears, red noses and cheeks and around eyes, haha... I really tried to draw better backgrounds and slowly they improved a little. I got more into traditional art and I made less digital art. Watercolours started to fascinate me a lot and I wanted to learn how to use them better. : )

2009


Looks like familiar? In 2009 I made hardly any digital art but instead of that I drew a lot of traditionally. : )

  1. Ohhh Nopa you've changed so much! I remember when I first met you, you drew in an anime style. I always wondered what made you change your style so much! But your current style is wonderful and so very eye catching! ^^ I really admire you, I wish I could find the perfect style! I'm still searching for mine orz. Anyway, your progression is very interesting, I'm looking forward for the future of your art cx

  2. This is a beautiful blog post from you darling!!!

    I am so glad you found your own beautiful style, it is so unique, natural, charming and sweet.

    I too started out influenced by a Japanese anime style, and gradually worked on developing my own voice. Just like you, whilst I was trying to draw in anime style, it felt unnatural and not my own, and friends and family definitely commented on this too.

    I utterly love your lovely style now, it has so much of you in it, just darling.

  5. Kiva idea laittaa omaa tyylillistä kehitystä tällä lailla ylös! Varsinkin kun suunta on noin ihanaan ja persoonalliseen tyyliin päin.

  6. Mai:Aww, thank you! :> It is so great to still be in touch with some people who have seen my art before I found my own style and who still comment my stuff! I remember how I really admired your talent since the first time I saw your art (you were and you are so talented and young!). :'--) I still love those drawings that you drew for me (art trade and that request). Thanks for your lovely comment and I am sure that you are going to find your style (the one that feels the right one), it is already wonderful. c:

    monika: Thank you! I am also glad that I learnt to like my own drawings because for so long time I was very hard for myself and I didn`t like things that I made. Thanks for your kind words! <3

    Fre-frenzy: thanks a lot! : )

    Röön: Ää kiitti! Vitsi, musta tuntuu et ylä-asteesta olis niin kauan et en ees kunnol muist millaista jotkut jutut siel oli! Omat työt nyt aika hyvin muistaa, mutta kyllä noi aika kaukaisilta tuntuu. : ) Paitsi lukiossa tehdyt ei ehkä niin. On se hassua miten muistot haalistuu, tuntuu et välil joku varhaisdementia iskee....

    Eveliina: Kiitos, kiitos! : ) Joskus taisin viimeksi seiska tai kasiluokalla vastaavanhenkisen kollaasin jonnekin nettiin viskata, mutta se ei ollut ehkä niin mielenkiintoista katsottavaa sillä aikahaarukka oli vain ehkä pari vuotta. Joskus kun tuntuu että sutii paikoillaan tai ei ole jotenkin tyytyväinen niin vanhojen kuvien selailu auttaa ja huomaa että kyllä sitä silti kokoajan kehittyy. Vanhoista luonnoksista saa myös usein hyviä ideoita heh heh. ;--)
