sometimes i dont feel like im improving with my digital art, but this is my very first drawing (never before seen on tumblr!!!) of marlene versus my most recent:

these are six years apart but thats a HUGE difference! well its a little hard to compare the clothes bc these are two different outfits, but i think overall i’ve greatly improved with anatomy. it still trips me up cuz bodies are weird, but im getting better with practice lol. also why does her face look like that in the first one??? anyway. thats not to say there arent things i like about the first one! i like the effort i put into showing the different textures of her outfit and honestly i like the hand by her face as well! but yeah putting these two together i can really see Growth.

i also wanna compare my first drawing of marlene i posted here about a year ago to my most recent:

again, it’d be better to compare drawings where theyre in the same outfit but whatever. especially because i do tend to simplify the shirt sleeves and the skirt (to an extent) when i draw her now. tho i could go back to drawing her outfit like that if i wanted to i suppose. again, i think anatomy is my biggest thing here, but i want to particularly highlight the hands because they are actually phenomenal in the recent one while the old one is really…claw like. granted i didnt spend as much time on it as i did the recent one but it still matters yanno.

but yeah. even tho this comparison isnt as drastically different as the previous example, it’s evident that there has been improvement. and if youve been following me or if you stalk my art tag right now you can see how ive progressed from that to this in just the past year! it also shows how different a drawing can look and feel using a different brush for line art! ive switched back and forth between that soft round brush and the hard calligraphy pen a few times in the last year lol. anyway idk its just cool to take the time to actually look back at my art and see how ive grown/changed/improved, even if sometimes i cringe at how bad my old art is :’) my old marties were particularly horrid imo but i will not be showing those atm
