You know when people show their art from around when they started getting serious to encourage new artists and it makes you feel worse because they're STILL better than you (now at a younger age, too?)

Well I've been feeling that a lot so I ended up comparing my own art to my own art.

Keep in mind that art is a hobby for me while I spend much more time on writing (those chapters take far more time than these doodles do) and still, in one school year (That's not even a full year, that's 9 months) I improved SO much.

Here's a doodle of Gale at the beginning of the year:

and here's a new one:

DAYUM SON

I will say the top one is way more expressive, but trust me, I can do expressions now too. Would actually like to try it again sometime because... Gale.
