00:00Wait, is this thing recording?

00:07Hello everyone, Cero here and welcome to my first story time video.

00:11Today I'll tell you how I became a digital artist and what I've learned from my three-year journey.

00:17One day I was scrolling through Twitter, or X as it's known nowadays, looking at other people's art.

00:24After a while I got inspired and said, what if I try my hand at this?

00:29And so it began.

00:31First of all, I needed a username to go by.

00:33I already had the Cero part in mind, so I started coming up with ideas to outfit it.

00:38Firstly, I came up with Cero Does Art, that's based on my YouTube channel name.

00:43But then I thought, nah, that doesn't sound too good, and scrapped it.

00:48After that, I had the idea for Cero Draws stuff, again, based on that same channel name.

00:55Yeah, it made the exact same fate as the last one.

00:59My third idea was Cero Draws Art.

01:02Can you guess what happened to it?

01:04That's right, it was scrapped just like the other two.

01:08But then, it hit me.

01:09Why don't I just go with Cero Draws?

01:11It's simple yet effective, and it's only 10 characters long, which will make it easier to remember.

01:17And so I did.

01:19With my username figured out, on the 17th of August 2021, I downloaded AvisPindex, sat down, and got to work.

01:27What you're looking at right now is my first digital drawing.

01:31Yeah, it doesn't look that great, but at least you can see that I have potential.

01:37So, I persisted.

01:40This is how one of my drawings looked like a year later.

01:43Quite the globe up, I'd say.

01:45I still needed to work on anatomy and stuff, so my drawings would look better.

01:50And that's exactly what I did.

01:52You're looking at one of my drawings from 2023.

01:56A lot better, isn't it?

01:58From 2023 onwards, my art style stayed pretty much the same, with a few minor changes here and there.

02:05So, that's how I became a digital artist.

02:08Check out my art profiles if you want to.

02:10They're all linked in the description.

02:13And before I end this video, I have one more thing to say.

02:17This goes for all users who send me messages asking if I'm available for commissions on DeviantArt.

02:23No, I am not.

02:25Please check my bio before sending me a message.

02:29Okay, I'll see you in the next one.

02:31Bye.
