Show your artistic improvement!

[Bishmuth]

I wanna see your improvement! It could be over a month or over 10 years!

Maybe the first page of your comic and your current one, maybe sketches from one point in time and sketches from now, maybe a piece of art you redrew and the original piece.

Just show it! It doesn't matter if its even just a teeny tiny improvement

Here's mine!
5 months ago (I think I was art blocked that day, but still)

Today!

I've made a couple redraws this and last year!

[BlairFujin]

I've been redrawing pics from the previous decade, so far I've got

First page (drawn around a year ago) vs one of my most recent pages (done last week)

These 2 pages were 10 years apart:

Originally in 2010, part one was pencil greyscale. I went back and colored it on 2016...

Some 400 pages later. One of the pages from my latest update.

I found my old deviantart a little while ago and saved some stuff I'd lost over the years.

This was a main character from 2007:

This is my current MC done within the last few months:

An OLD comic page from 2008 (I never uploaded the comic)

Couple of panels from my current comic I'm working on (should be out sometime around Halloween)

[Ariaz]

Oh goodness! That's a lot of improvement!!

Well, this is my first digital artwork ever using mouse (3-5 years ago I believe?) I am so sorry for this creation.

And another pretty old one:

Aaaand, here are some recent artworks

This is how I used to digitally paint starting out in late High school, early college (wasn't using photoshop back then, but some random program that came with my offbrand 3.5 inch 70 buck tablet. Believe it or not, I was way worse with photoshop starting out than I was in this program that gave me very yellow skin tones, but I have lost most of my Photoshop failures to computer crashes.)

I used to just draw dresses all day. Just all night and all day, tons of outfits (and also cats, but that's a whole other file). This was my only style.

Then fast-forward about 10 years and many other adapted styles later, this is how I paint now. Just a hell ton of Zelda fanart.

Too bad I don't have the time to paint like this for the insides of my comics. At least I can go ham on my cover.

Hi guys, here is my progress:

2010

2019

2020

[AbelDraws]

The evoIution of my comic through the years. The two first attempts didn't go far x'D they're from ~2014, April 2016 and the last one is from March 2020. I've Iearnt how to make backgrounds >:D. (also, don't worry about that girl who's about to get burnt, I had to eliminate that idea completely from the comic because it didn't fit at all x'D)

AIso, iIIustration wise:

March 2016 vs december 2019 <3

[Bishmuth]

Ahh everyone's improvements are so cool! I'm so proud of everyone <3

Here's to all of us continuing to improve in the future!!

[Bishmuth]

Woah, your environments are mad good!! There's so much movement in them. they feel alive!

Have you considered going into concept art or visual development?

[imiogri]

I love these things! I finally can post my earliest art of my comic cast without it being too spoilery anymore
from 2017 back when they weren't human (with a cut character)

and here they are now!

[Kelheor]

Don't have anything in colour (except the comic) for quite some time now, sooo... 2006 vs. 2016 vs. 2020

[uhokhjol]

one of the first drawings of my comic character that I've done 10 years ago...

One of the newest. Lol, doesn't look so impressive, because I've mostly done traditional

Aaand comic pages! One of the first and last pages. I can say, that I figured out how to optimize the drawing and editing process, and now I draw more neatly and maybe faster?

[Bishmuth]

Your poses have got so much more fluid in 2020!

[Bishmuth]

The newest page is definitely a lot more pro looking! The older page has a lot of charm to it, but you can tell with this new one that you've worked out how to compose a frame effectively!

[AbelDraws]

I love how the second row of examples is "how to make better ship art" and I'm 100% in, they look awersome <33

[Kelheor]

Thank you! Then drawing a lot of people moving in comics is definitely helping

@AbelDraws
It's almost like they finally started doing something together oh, no, this went wrong in English lol
Btw, your illustration progress is fantastic, the second one is pure joy
