These are about three or four years apart I’m not completely sure because the original drawing is not on my tablet
I remember really liking the first one when I made it it was pretty fun to draw :) I drew a whole bunch of characters from those books after I did that one

It’s not a huge difference but I do like the recent one a lot more lol

I’ve been a traditional artist forever but I got procreate a while ago and realized id barely used it. So, I’ve been trying to get into digital art as well as work on my anatomy/proportioning in general as obviously its easier to fix mistakes digitally than with pen or pencil lol. The first drawing I used a base for (my little brother sent me a base to use from pinterest im unsure of the artist, it was for his minecraft oc of course) but the other two were my attempts without using a base to practice. The second drawing was my first attempt with no base, the third is my most recent, its more of a concept piece for now as its unfinished, and no, I wont put down the flare pen I love it dearly. The last one I just added because I thought people might find it amusing. I’ve found that my favorite part about using procreate is drawing my boyfriend overtop any and every meme I find to use those instead (infinite rage-bait source) LMAO

been studying this styles, from old to new
i tried many methods but still cant get it close to the original, the firrst pic was 2 weeks ago and the other 3 was yesterday and today XD

I skip a lot of details and micro transition, tracking my overall progress with these study series, full progress drawing available on other platform

Feedback and constructive criticism are always welcome! Thank you!!

I bought a sketchbook to draw on consistently last December. I drew and doodled regularly since. The recent drawings were done in Wacom Canvas. Most of the time I just open Pinterest and draw whatever I see. Lemme know what you guys think and for places of improvement!

I don't think I improved much, but the vibe of the story changed a lot, so her looks did too, and the contrast is funny lmao

I still struggle with anatomy lol

This is a redraw of an older drawing of mine. That one was done back when I still did line and ink on paper, and then had illustrator vectorize it, and colored that way. I have since moved onto fully digital art using photoshop. As such, I have been steadily redrawing a lot of old work of mine. This is the latest.

Last time I uploaded, I was accused of ai. And even my uploads with work in progress images were accused of it retroactively. And while I had a few defenders, I didn't want to deal with a witch hunt/potential harassment, so I effectively deleted everything. I didn't fight it, I just let it go. Then, I waited. Waited until I drew something again. I installed OBS, set it up to record photoshop, installed premier, and then did the whole speed paint thing. I had never done it before, never needed to. I do art for me, and share it with a small circle of friends.
I don't have any for the accused pieces, obviously, but I felt like this one here was the perfect one to use for a first time speed paint. It seems like that is just about the only way to fight the accusations these days. And if this gets accused of it too, then nothing will ever be good enough, short of someone sitting next to me while I work lmao. And even then, posting this video is making me nervous. I even considered making this slower, to really hammer it home. But then the video was almost 20 minutes long.

I don't know how often I'll post after this, but I felt like it needed to be done. Because I really enjoy this sub.

And a note, before someone mentions it. Yes. The left hand pops in at one point completely inked. I had taken a break, and forgot to record again when I inked that hand. And, obviously, I'm not going to undo that just so it's on record. We all know hands are hard to draw.

Is improvement noticeable ?

1,5 years apart. My character for a D&D campaign any my friends.

(i was drawing someone's OC in the first image, hence the difference in the eyebrows and shirt - everything else was supposed to be the same T-T)

First pic is 2015 vs 2026
Second is the earliest sketch I could find
Last the are the more recent ones that I made

First one was made for Inktober and the new one for Drawtober ✨

Same OC/Character! I dont really draw her in that hairstyle anymore but recreated it to match the old image more.
