Where I was, and Where I am now

It’s hard to grasp that I just started drawing last year. The hand control was there-I’m a calligrapher-but last December all I could manage was stick figures. And now I have major mondo plans to put a booth together and make the rounds this upcoming summer/fall/winter, selling both my calligraphy and artwork.

(and of course I’m already on etsy)

So in honor of completing what I consider to be my Freshman year in the School of Learning Art Not From A Major Institution, I shall show you Before and After photos!
