Show your artistic improvement!

[DualDragons]

I guess it's time again to unleash the demons behind my bad art from 3 years ago:

And this is a page i drew a few weeks ago (it's actually a page from RotH so spoilers inbound:)

Summary

[saralj]

Such a fun thread! I really like your character design @Iridescent_Bismuth !
Here is my improvement, about 10 years between these (high school to now!). Feel like my colours were sooo all over the place back in the day!

[saralj]

So cool! Your style really shines through in the recent work.

I used to pursue an anime style back in 2009-2013. But now I'm working more towards an original style.

My traditional art improvement. This is somehow the same page, one from 2017 or so and the other from last year.

My digital art and backgrounds have also improved quite a little.

My first panel made in late December 2019 compared to the last panel I just drew yesterday (26th April 2020)

I've been making my comic since December and doing pixel art since... November? Anyways...

"You not need hoop framework under skirt as long as you stand like THIIIIIS."

[lynestjules]

Dramatic poses always. lol. I didn't design them in dresses that were poofy for the most part, because they had to move a lot and that framework would just get in the way.

Yeah, me dated girl who wore crinolines. Sounded like slinky going down a long flight of stairs.

[Bishmuth]

Thanks! He's a pretty old character and I don't tend to design them as bright these days, but I still love to draw his silly design ahah

Here's my first webcomic strip ever from 2016-2017:

And here is my latest character design from 2020:

[SlavaDe]

Hate to say but I feel like I didn't truly improve until I ditched my persona. After that I get to draw more varied characters and improve my anatomy. Nothing to show for 2020 yet cuz I'm stuck in a major art block.

[Bishmuth]

Woah, that's a huge improvement!

It's funny, I've tried to create a persona so many times and I can never seem to make anything that fits.
Don't get me wrong, I do get slightly obsessed with certain OCs and draw them much more than others though ahah

It's really interesting to see what aspects of your style have changed and stayed the same!

[Bishmuth]

Congrats!! That's a uge improvement in 3 years :DD

So funnily enough back when I first launched DRGN back in 2019, my dad actually printed out a picture of my first Edible Green Tea strip from 2017 and put it next to the final page of DRGN and put it on the fridge for the whole family to see my artistic improvement over the past two years of making webcomics. That was fun to see.
