User blog comment:Agent Andrew martins/How Andrew martins became who he looks like now./@comment-3398859-20150705132703

Hey, don't diss the guy. He's a beginner, from what I can tell, and his art will get better. Sure, it might not look too great right now, but if you want it to look good, encourage him. Tell him to draw more. I don't care how awful it looks, but practice makes perfect. Need an example?

Me.

I drew this in 2011. Pretty bad, right? And it wasn't the only drawing of that either. It's a tad bit embarassing showing you these things, I must admit. But the thing is, no one discouraged me. And as I drew, I slowly got better. I didn't say much better! But it was a step ahead, and that was only the first step. Of, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, steps until I finally got where I am today. That was all over the course of four years. What once looked like this now looked like this, so let him practice. He will get better. Perhaps four years from now, he can make marvelous masterpieces. I mean, this already looks better than some of my early stuff, so in the future, I believe he can make something absolutely amazing. Keep on working, kid.
