I’m still not great at drawing, but I definitely see the improvement! This was really fun to do!

[jensrichard77]

And that's why I chose to be a writer and not an artist.
But what a fun ride it has been to make my Blue Life art.

Thank you Tapas for some great years in the past and some greater years in the future

Thank you for hosting that
In the previous year I and my sister started the manga which we planned to do for a very long time. I practiced a lot to start this project Hope you can see my improvements

[WoollyPAR]

I redrew the very first page of my webcomic!

Edit: had to put my name on it

[WoollyPAR]

I forgot to put my name :,D

[MerrowBros]

Goin' back to the past.

[Kittyfox]

I've always done traditional art up until last year, and honestly I don't think it would be hard to tell that I had never done it before. The Wobbly Lines​ are strong with this one

[paintword]

I'm the artist 'Paint.' The username 'PaintWord' is actually a team name for me and my writer.

This older drawing was from Feb of last year. It's been a little over a year since I've experimented with digital art and it came with its struggles, but learning was worth it!

we'll be releasing a novel series soon later this month or next. We're so glad we found this tapas community where we can share our passion for art and webnovels

[ToJoou]

Time by Time the time allowed me to create the redesign of this is my best picture of the webcomic and my favorite is great to know that I redesigned it from 0 and even that I did not spend a lot of time it is good to know every progress

This marks a before and after and all the creators of comics mark the difference
Thanks for your attention

[Kelheor]

Now that's a fun coincidence since I only redrew Hei yesterday
I guess my madness is showing through, that's what creating comics did to me

[colorgoat]

Gonna drop this here and post to Insta in the morning! Went ham with the redraw

[rolypolyphonic]

The original canvases were square so it's cropped a bit weirdly and the details are difficult to parse, but here's a redraw of the royal family from my webcomic lol

I only picked drawing up as a hobby around May 2020 so I don't really have a lot of older work to redraw, but in the span of a few months I became really good at drawing ribbons :"P

Hi Victoria!
This is a comparison of the very first and the latest drawing of Lucien (from my comic - The Right Twin).
It's always super fun to do these redraws/comparisons ^^
Hope your 2021 is off to a good start!

Hi!
I drew this chibi version of Ivan and Kaoru from my novel (Almost Eternity) last year, and decided to redraw it.

[lunagraves714]

I know it's only been a year, but I feel like I've definitely improved a lot since I started.

[Poyolwl]

My God, that comic was MORE than cringe worthy.

So..this is my first attempt at a Tapas Challenge, And I think I did good.
Context: I tried making a Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon comic with Google Canvas back in 2019- (wait, 2019? It looks like it's from 2016!) And... I decided to remake a couple of the better panels for the challenge.
I doubt i'll win looking at the other submissions, but it's all about fun anyways.
Good luck everyone! Also Thank You for the Challenge Tapas!
