    Bust out that last page of imgur or your first photobucket account cause I want to see the oldest and arguably cringiest, piece of art you're able to conjure from your days as just a wee artist on the internet.

    Here's mine so y'all don't feel alone lol. I'm pretty sure this is among one of the first pieces I EVER posted to PC (which was also incidentally the first place I ever posted my art online).

    Like... what anatomy? lmao.
     
    my imgur only goes back up to 2012 or so. my oldest art (i dunno if you can really call this art, more like Photoshop edit?) is apparently this attempt at a profile picture lmao. i was pretty proud of it then tho.

    I'm pretty sure this isn't the oldest (because I know I have a worse one, I just can't find it) but it sure was awful way way back in 2010 hahaha

    This is a piece that I painted when I attended high school all those years ago. It's not the oldest but, it is old 😂

    Oh awesome thanks for fixing it. ♡

    Also... ummm.. it's amazing! I knew you had a knack for artistry but I wasn't expecting such an awesome photorealistic piece. We're supposed to be sharing our oldest art here, you know, lol. :P

    Thanks Jo! It's 18+ years old so I figured that it was close 😂

    Haha fair enough, fair enough. But if you stumble across some sketchbooks from your early days as a budding artist with Pokémon and anime waifus in it you better share those too!

    Squirtle, it's great to finally see some of your art, and lemme say: this is incredible! Had you not said it was painted, I'd be sure the birds were a photograph!

    Also, I like your floor.
     
    Oh oh oh!! I completely forgot I have a painting I did 15+ years ago that my dad has hanging in his house cause he's sentimental like that. Next time I see him I'll take a pic and post it. I made it as a school project so it's like ancient now and predates all of my oldest internet art haha.

    I would love to see it
     
    I don't think I have my early stuff that I put on the internet flying around. I have a bunch of folders with stuff ranging back about ~15 years ago at home. I'll see to get something posted when I find the time for it. In the meantime I'll just refer to my gallery because that stuff in there despite being mostly from last year+ still looks very similar to the stuff I did 15 years ago.

    And I do not understand why you all consider your stuff cringy when my reaction is just like "if only I could draw that well" <_<

    Is this Hinata? :o
    Anyways, looks amazing!
     
    I used to draw a lot of stuff many years ago. At some point I started collecting my images in a folder. A bunch of them were just random stuff, some others were full stories that I drew picture by picture. This one is the very first one I ever put in there.

    Nope! No idea who Hinata is, though it's very possible I referenced a picture of her without realizing it. This is a very, very old drawing after all. Anything is possible lol.
