2022 vs 2024 (and, shockingly, not a single gouache painting between the two)
I based the second one stylistically on the first, but it's very cool to see how my skills have improved over the years! Whilst I've not painted much in gouache, there's definitely a lot of transferable skills from my watercolour practice.
This was my very first Good Omens Fanart and one of the first finished digital drawings as well, and it’s crazy how much my digital drawing skills improved in this short time since then (2 months apart) 👀
Back in 2018 I started doing fantasy character commissions, and posted this character as one of my first example pieces. I decided to redraw her to see if I'd progressed and learned anything since. And like... I think so? I've included the original to compare. What do you guys think?
Commissions are still open for anyone wanting to see their character (or characters, or whole party) in this style!
A year ago hyperfixation on Avatar took over me and I made my first ever fanart
Today I finished redrawing it:
Old art:
The amount of effort on both of these pictures is incomparable, the old one was just a sketch, however A LOT has changed and I'm surprised that I feel proud for myself
I have another one for a better comparison so you can see
This was made in pretty much the same time not longer after that sketch and this was truly the best I could do for that time 😭

In 2017 i was watching solar sands and i came across his Eddsworld video. Confused on why the blue one was always drawn with weird blacked out eyes ,i decided to go investigate
Anyway its been six years now and my path in life has been permanently altered
Given that I've begun round two of Edding i thought it'd be fitting to redraw my first Eddsworld piece
13 year old me would be pleased to hear im still trapped in british purgatory
