A Draw this Again (right side), of a drawing from around 2012, with comparison side-by-side.
The only thing that doesn’t look so good to me are the colors, even though the photo doesn’t make justice. The Draw This Again is a challenge where someone chooses an old drawing of theirs to redraw, and see how their technique (lineart, art style, painting style...) improved. I like how much better the dragon looks while remaining gracious and without being bulky, and I love the painting of the sky - I usually am impatient to paint, in particular sunsets - and how I kept the contrast of the ground. The shadows look much better, and the color palette as well. The girl also looks better and the clothes more realistic, even if extremely different from the original. I only regret that she was white on the old version - the colors are more a less one of the things I tried to keep and now I feel cultural appropriation vibes.
