First time here. I'd like some advice.

History:

I've heard of this site since my childhood, but never visited the site often (I was more into MaxGames, MiniClips, and StickNinja). I've had this website in the back of my mind since 2017 (When Flash announced its discontinuation date of 2020), but didn't find a reason to make an account until recently.


One day in February during a COVID lock-down, I decided to learn how to draw by myself, and document everything I did for a year without missing a day (you know, for masochistic fun!). I've been doing this for well over half a year straight, and had no luck on Twitter, so I might as well try to migrate my art here and to see if I have better luck.


The Point:

I'm new here, and I have a backlog of over 200 drawings (and growing) for a year-long (and still on-going) project I'm doing, and I'd like to post it here. Half of it was done on paper, the other half was done digitally, all of them have notes written on them, and the first 50 or so drawings are crude scribbles (because I didn't know how to draw in the beginning).


I'd like to know where I should post these drawings, as it's quite different from the norm. The whole point of my challenge is to show this sort of evolution a potential artist can have when starting-out, with notes detailing how I felt, and what I've learned along the way. I'm also certain the first few days of my art challenge are probably going to get blammed due to how bad I was at drawing, but all of them are important.


I do plan on cropping-out the notes from a few drawings that I find are a good enough quality to post on their own.


I also want to know if I can make an album that compiles every drawing I've made in chronological order, so that way people won't need to scroll for an eternity to see my early beginnings.


Here's a quick sample of what I've done:

Hello and welcome to Newgrounds!

If you want to improve as an artist I recomment going here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/forum/14

And If you want to understand how this website I suggest going here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/forum/3 and here:https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki

Thank-you. I've been thinking about how I should organize my things here, and I think I'll just post my daily doodles in my news feed, and I'll put my more polished works in the art portal. That way I won't clutter the art portal with my sometimes bad scribbles.

And thanks for showing me where I can improve my work. Twitter couldn't help me with that, and only having family members tell you art advice is a recipe for disaster.

My apologies for the late response. I'm just really busy this week and next week.
