Yes and no. I do try to do new things as far as staging and posing goes, and I’m going to have to break away from the simplistic backgrounds in several future updates (joy), but I could do better. Everyone can.
When I’m drawing I try to not let my drawings look bad, and depending on your viewpoint I fail, or I succeed. I do need to branch out and try new subjects, but I’m also lazy which is why there’s generally only one update a week.
For what I do, I do push myself. Sort of. I could, and try to push myself more with every passing month but whether or not it shows is a matter of debate.
MLP and tumblr actually. I always thought that I couldn’t draw to save my life, and then I stumbled across some pony blogs here. After following them for a few weeks I figured that I could do the same thing, went out and bought the cheapest tablet I could find.
The trick to drawing is just doing it.

Very enjoyable. The animation surpassed the original, for obvious reasons, and there were some great character moments, particularly for Stoic and Hiccup. While I feel that the first one was a more balanced movie in terms of progression and in pacing, the second one beats it in ambition, grandeur, presentation, and in character.
There were several moments in 2 that were very emotional, and arguably really pushed its rating. While the first saw great change for the setting, and supporting cast, the second’s growth is largely centered around Hiccup and his coming into his own, which is a very good place to take a sequel to such a highly regarded film.
The sound design, music, and character design were all top notch, although I do wish that they had spent a little more time on the dragons or at least explained them a little more. That was a real strength of the first, the dragons felt real and incorporated because there were very few species covered, and those that were were described and explained. There are a LOT more dragons in this film, both in quantity and variety, and while knowing a little about many of them wouldn’t have hurt the film in any way, I can see why the cut out such explanations and explication.
All in all a very good sequel, and a very good movie.
9.3/10
Don’t tell me that June 16th is going to be Papi day from now on. I’m perfectly alright with that if it is.
In Dragons? Yes there were indeed feels in Dragons.
Why were there feels in Dragons?
Why did the feels make me cry?
