Do any of you keep all of your art? Even spanning years ago?

I throw away halfassed doodle and bullshit but try to keep a good amount of art from each stage of my development. I have stuff from when i was like 6 still.
Probably a 2-3 boxes full

I have about seven portfolios packed to the gills with old art. It's really good for me because when I don't have any ideas, I can go and flesh out old ones that I didn't have the skill for back then. At least for me the inspiration and ideas are worth keeping old sketchbooks, but make sure you flip through them once in a while unless the reason you are keeping them is for your children or some shit.

I have all my sketchbooks still and even a few stacks of this weird spreadsheet kind of paper that my dad would bring me from his work so I wouldn't use up all of the printing paper. I throw away loose stuff but can't throw away sketchbooks, have milk crates of them in my parents storage.

It's fun to go through the real old shit and remember my teenage feelings and laugh at the awful chibis.

lucky m8.
Even when I was 6 I knew I was bad so I just threw all my shit away.

No, but I keep a selection from earlier years, just so I have a something to look back on for nostalgia and keeping track of my process. More recent years I keep a lot more of, off course.

I just threw out maybe 10 sketch books that I've used over the past year. They are a means to an end. If there was something in them I really wanted to save or show off I scan it in and ink it digitally.

Why would you toss them? Seeing physical progress is the best feeling.

For the first time I deleted a bunch of psds from a few years ago that I don't like anymore. Felt good. But otherwise no I've never knowingly thrown out any sketchbook or anything that wasn't just for a school assignment.

Implying someone who took an entire year to fill a sketchbook could finish 10 in his lifetime.

Was throwing away your sketchbook apart of your plan!

>sketchbook
Try buying 500 sheets of copy paper and using all that up. It's cheap and you can easily toss out bad drawings so you avoid most of the psychological problems beginners face from not wanting to make bad drawings and having that paralyze them.

Depends on how old they are to be honest. I'm 24 and have filled sketchbooks since before double digits. I'll keep the stuff I think is neat but the rest I've tossed, there is no point keeping tons of doodles and shit. If you really want to do that, scan them and then dump them imo.

are you going to die in less than 10 years?
are you not going to learn and manage your time to finish a sketchbook in less than a year?
