Yeah but I really should do it every day! Sometimes the pony drawing event thing shifts to once a day for a week, and I do very well and love it, but when it's once a week sometimes I wait till closer to the deadline and... aslfjdsakfj. But I'm getting more and more to the point at which I do it sooner and do it better and have more fun with it. I've definitely improved a bit, though, I mean;
Day 3 of the beginning of the artist training ground, at which point I really had absolutely no skill other than on and off doodling once every few months, and using a tablet for the very first time:

three weeks later, them was to dredraw any previous theme, for the last day of the original event before it shifted to a weekly deviantart thing:

and I've only gone up from there, as you can see if you look around my dA. I've been drawing non-pony stuff and started going through one of the many drawing/cartooning books I have, too, but not... nearly enough,and it's on real paper, which I'm awful lazy to scan! I really do intend to fill that dA with all kinds of stuff beyond just the pony weeklies, though...
You really have gotten good, though. I love every one of your little arts I see around the board, and in your art thread. It's ridiculous. I'd love to get good enough to just draw out silly ideas like that really well, and I'm gonna be working really hard to do so, as I hope you continue to!
