A trip down memory lane..

I was going through some of my old cds today looking for a certain mp3 and instead I was handed the biggest shock of.. well..not my life.. but the week i guess. :p , anyways.. I came accross some of my old drawings and even some pictures of mine which I once upon a time really really reallllllyyy believed they were actually excellent. lol

Now looking at them I am like..god.. I must have been high at the time to actually think that those were good. I am sure few years from now when I look back at my current work I will also think the same..but for now..let me just laugh at these old ones.

A picture of mine taken using a webcam back in 1999 ( what in gods name was I wearing?! )




well thank god , I don't wear glasses anymore , I have more facial hair than THAT , and my nose is alot smaller. lol

Here's a recent picture of me , just for the sake of comparison..



I don't like smiling for the cam so just ignore the serious and slightly angry look. :p

------

Here's a drawing I made back in 2000 , when my computer skills sucked big time :




wow..great choice of colors nabs. A red face? green mouth? what was I thinking?!

------

Another drawing i made back in 2000.




I remember really liking this one back then and thinking..wow..I can't believe I did that. Now when I look at it.. I just wanna barf.

-------

Finally.. lol..now this is just hilarious.. my very own KHALO Zaitoona , which got published in the 'youth observer' paper in oman back in 2002.




Well this one isn't THAT bad, but it aint good either , still looking at it brings a huge smile to my face, and I remember how I felt when they actually told me they were going to use her in the paper. It was my first publication and so it meant alot to me and still does.

-----

All these make me feel thankful , cause I can actually see how far I have come since then and inshallah I still have alot more to learn and to accomplish. thanks to everyone who supported me since the start..and actually believed in me to say that those were good at the time.

Look at the innocent face :p


Regarding the drawings, I think the most important is that the concept of the drawing itself is there, however it been effected after that!

Enigma said...

cute! how come no one told me about this post. You've improved so much mashalla.

It's nice to see a recent picture of you. I always wondered how you look by the way. I imagined you to be fat honestly. :p

Guess I was wrong ^^ lol

Unknown said...

lol enigma ..u're not the only one who thought i was fat. I guess my chubby/roundish cartoons give out a fat vibe or something. :p

TripleTee said...

expected yet unexpected... somehow I imagined something similar... but it's great to see the differences between before and after... yes, I see tremendous changes there. All to the better.
