When Did You Start Drawing?

Like everyone else here, I'd have to go with "as early as I coudl hold a crayon".

But drawing with any semblance of drawing... I'd have to say about 6 years ago when I first came up with the kittybirgs. I loved my little critters and wanted to improve 'em, so I worked at it.

I probably started drawing when I was 3 years old.

hmm I don't remember about 3 or 4 or something. Anime style only kicked in when I was about 10 or 11 then I developed it further by mixing it with other styles and looking at online artists work. Basically I just fuse loads of styles together. I've always been one for horror and the dark stuff. Always loved vampires X33 etc. my style is forever changing I just got Hellsing and I already see a change. Love the way teeth are done in that series. Just turned 18.

Well...when I was around two I picked up a crayon and drew a balloon. I think that was my first recognizable picture ever.

When I got older (around 8) my friends and I started drawing paper dolls and cutting them out and playing with them, ya know..drawing furniture and stuff.

Then I stopped drawing for awhile...I'm getting re-interested, though. I'm not the greatest artist but I'm getting better. Laughing

I started young. I can't even remember how old I was but my mother was an artist and my brother has always been good at art. I do remember winning an award for some drawing I did of vampires when I was in the first grade though. ^^

I started drawing really young, but most of my pictures were...well, I like to call them 'abstract' XD I didn't draw people too much. Mostly dogs and things that didn't really exist so that I could be creative. I started drawing people when I started drawing anime which was....well, when Pokemon came out...I started drawing realistic people two or three years later, but my hair can still have a pretty anime quality....*shrug*

i started a long time ago, but i just got into manga about 4 years ago, and i'm in the middle of manga and some other talented form of art. what i'm basically saying is i'm in my own category, and i've been crazy about drawing for almost all my life!(although i HAVE seen better....)

I don't remember when I started to draw my own stuff, but I had TONS of coloring books, and those posters w/ the black fuzzy stuff on it where you color in the smooth white areas o.o; lol. I think I started drawing seriously when I was 5 or 6 though. My dad gave me really old computer paper (the kind with holes on each side) and I scribbled them up soooo much, lol. In 3rd grade, I started drawing in school when I had free time, and I drew Super Mario Bros. scenes on the chalk boards and stuff XD I was a big dork, lol. Those were the days when everyone just started knowing who Mario was, ^_^; When I was about 11 and 12 years old, I started drawing my own Sonic the Hedgehog comic books. I quit attempting that at around 16 though.

Now i'm.. here, lol ^.^

Been scribbling since I could hold a crayon and I'm still at it at 19. I still steal crayons from my brother at resturants and draw on the place mats... I used to get in trouble for drawing on homework, and I think I've got as many sketches in my school notebooks as I do notes.

I can clearly remember drawing people when I was around three or four. I drew stick figures with bellybuttons, and then drew clothes over them. My parents still find that really funny.

Everything's gone anime-ish since two years ago when I discovered anime, but I think in general it's helped me improve.

I still can't draw hair, though.

I can remember being able to draw baby spice *shudder* really well when I was smaller. In about grade 5 I saw anime and had no idea what it was and just started drawing in that style. I stopped drawing in exchange for writing poems and stories in grade 6. A few months ago, I rediscovered anime and started drawing again. Now I am constantly doodling anime instead of whatever I'm supposed to do.

I started drawing anime ten years ago, but have been drawing in general a lot longer. I tried realism, but wasn't very good at it, so I've stuck to animated series. Anime has a unique style and I think it's the most fun to draw out of all I've tried.

I've been drawing since...I dunno a long time ago! I remember in 2nd grade I drew this picture of a castle which i thought was 'amazing', but now that i look at it, it looks like crap! It took me lik e 2 miniutes to draw and I remember like all the girls were saying that I had my mom help me with it =-)

I didn't really start drawing until about 6th grade- 5-6 years ago >.> I changed schools, and the new one was way behind, so I just started doodlign characters from my rpg with my cousin. I took one art class in 8th grad,e but ti was worthless. The teacher just let me do what I wanted :/ I changed schools again, thought I would join the one at my school, but the instant my teacher saw my comics, she said- and I quote- "We draw [i]real[/i] art in my class. You could do some of this on the side."

My gallery- in the face of that conceited so and so
