For me nothing gives me a boost of confidence in my abilities like comparing me to myself.
So treat yourself to this boost and show me some side by sides and witness your own growth!

2024

2003...

2012...

2022

2024

Not much improvement in 20 years lol :laughing:

First episode - 2021

Latest panel 2024

You stuck with a story for over 20 years? I'm really impressed. I usually ADD out of mine after 3 or 5 years XD

Thank you @Nossumy !

I can't believe how much I don't like how the first chapters of my comic look, haha (except for the coloring). They seemed fine when I drew them the first time!

2022 (because that's when I started drawing it, not posting it) vs 2024

Made panels bigger, more expressive, more color, and shading is now on the menu.

Oooh you really grew a lot in a short amount of time!
Your characters really start to have more... well... character in your more recent work!

You really got a lot more dynamic and daring in your art! Also a nice growth in consistent volumes in your characters.

As long as you like her 2024 version best :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

While 9 days isn't a lot, there is a visible improvement. The placement of your facial features is very noticable

maybe not as much, but you can definitely see you're getting better. Characters have more volume to them and you work with more interesting dynamic camera angles in your recent work.

That's a big leap you've made! I can tell you've been practising anatomy in that time.

Made the bold jumo to color I see. As with many, you've definely grown more confidant in your dynamic poses and have become more consistent in your volumes.

Wow nice! Love the jump from the safe, flat posing to the fun dynamic one. Also having your characters physically interact with each other is a big plus.

Nice evolution of color usage!

I can tell! The addition of shading really makes your work pop more. The posing also feels a lot more organic an natural in your recent work.

That's completely normal, I feel the same. One day you would look at the art you're doing now and think the same xD

2022:

2024:

It may not be much, But I'm really satisfied drawing their current hairstyle, giving Mukhtar (MC) brown eyelashes and it seems I draw more outlines on their clothes, unlike before when it was clean.

Since I did a redo of the 1st chapter for print I might as well!

2022:

Same page spread, but from 2024:

I started taking art classes around the 5th chapter and with their help I also redid the 1st issue for local print in Poland. While I'm certain I improved in terms of art quality, I may have gone into the trap of too many closeups lately.

Oh it’s fun to see everyone’s different progress! I actually hadn’t done a side by side comparison in a while, but since college I think my anatomy has def gotten better and my sense of color theory too. But I still like my old drawings, I appreciate what they were.


My faces have gotten more specific, so characters look less similar (this is the same character though but now she looks less like other characters I have)


Same character again, with a sort of similar character in the current art- she’s her alter ego type deal- but def my way of drawing bodies is more fluid now, they were really stiff before.
