I’ve been seeing that meme going around where artists redraw old work to see how far they’ve come. I’d never participated until now, but lately, as other problems have been keeping me away from drawing more often than I’d like, I felt like I needed it. Sometimes it helps to see how much you’ve actually improved, especially when it seems that nothing you’re drawing looks right. I picked a piece of fan art that I did twelve years ago, one of my favourites at the time. It was awful. The influence that anime had on me was still really strong back then.
I’ll have more to say about this tomorrow after work, as well as a larger version of the new drawing.
