Description
I came to cut you upI came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
A new drawing again? Yes!
It's been a long time since the last time I drew Emily. This is probably the edgiest thing I have drawn so far and I must admit that to me, the most entertaining part of the drawing was painting those bruises. I guess I just want to try different things 
This drawing is based on the part of the Kalos arc where Emily flees the hospital after the incident with Hoopa and Lucinda to train in Route 13's desert with her pokΓ©mon. I named the pic after a song by Garbage, the band I'm currently obsessed with
I also included a fragment of the lyrics, I think they really suit that part of the story. Emily is seeking revenge on Lucinda and also wants to get her friend backPS: I have a long way to go before finding my style... Things that I could pull off the previous times seem impossible when I try them again and the most annoying thing: I MUST learn now to hair. It wasn't a problem before

This is really cool Springs. ^^ You did a great job with the bruising, it looks like it really hurts.
Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about how long it takes to "find your style". As I look at this drawing and some of the others in your gallery, I'm finding faint similarities, with eye shapes, chin shapes, that sort of thing. Just keep practicing, and you'll probably begin to see it too.
I find that some days, something I know how to draw sometimes doesn't come out right, no matter how I try. Sometimes its not a matter of needing to relearn, but you find yourself growing out of the prior method of drawing a certain way.
And, I'll be fair. Sometimes hair won't lay perfectly at all, whether its a drawing or in real life. Its charming, in its own irritating way. At least I think so.

You're welcome.
It's something that I wished someone had told me instead of making me figure it out myself. Not that its not important for me to figure things out myself, but being able to realize when I'm artistically growing was not something I was always able to pinpoint when rapid spurts of growth occurred. It took me years to find out that it wasn't that I couldn't draw something anymore, but that I had pushed myself to a point beyond what I was doing and further stunting myself because I wanted to step backward having not realized I had already actually stepped forward.
I don't know how I found out, I can't remember. But once I realized it, it made drawing much easier and they started coming out better and more accurate to what I wanted with less frustration and my efforts went further- they didn't feel wasted.
It's something I want to share with others because I know for a fact I wasted months worth of hours drawing lamenting that I had lost all that I had gain- which wasn't true. I didn't realize it, but I did loose much need motivation to keep practicing and often took long breaks and stopped pushing myself. I've seen it happen to many other artists too, and that's also discouraging because sometimes, we're here to inspire one another- even if we don't realize it and have the same talents.

Yeah, I have been there before too. But sometimes simply looking at my older drawings makes me realize that I improved
