Redirect to original
Description
Ah yes the goal of every artist is to improve!After flipping threw some old drawings and comics (XD omg the findings!) I found the 2 gems to the left. The one to the far left I vaguely remember drawing to be a fan character from show Daria. “Omg but you usually hate fan characters and here you made one! lolomgbbq" only if their SO OBVIOSOULY derived from an existing character you tard. but this one was an original creation even when I 9 I still strived for originality in my characters. however I don't remember anything about her except that she was made for Daria and obsessed with aliens. she has no name so feel free to call her what ya like. but then again in 2002 ( I THINK) Josh who runs the Gorillaz fan site held a contest to draw himself however while entering THAT contest I found the first picture and decided to re-draw it just because I couldn’t stand looking at the first one. even now it makes me wanna barf. and now nearly 4 years later I found it again and figured "what the hell?" lets re-draw it to check the progress and let’s just say i'm happy with the results and thank god for evolution.
however I have to thank my friends for my improvements. they are my teachers weather they realize it or not. weather its me simply liking how they draw a hand or a leg or giving my art books (thank you ~Denzai
but GOD look at her BUTT in the first one! it’s like all high on her spine and her boobs! even the PAPER on the first one is crappy looks like someone used it to blow their nose or something. DX URG! oh the second ones not much better. her waist is all wide on the bottom of the shirt and her legs look like 2 x 4's but there’s one thing that’s stayed the same all those years…I STILL can’t draw high heels…but yea what else can I say? except i’m so grateful iv improved over the years and who knows where ill be in another 5 years. if i’m alive and mentally coherent I think ill give this girl another draw.

Dude, you drew SO much better than me at that age! You actually had an original style going, mine was just bastardized anime. XD
That's so cool. You had (and still have) mad talent.

It's more style than I've ever seen from a kid that age. Usually kids try to draw realistically and it's boring.

Ahhh, I know that feeling. X3 Going through old drawings just to think back and say "WOW! I can't believe that was GOOD!" *LOL*
Been thinking about doing something similar to this for the past couple of years... I should get off my lazy butt. XP
Side-by-side comparisons helps to understand and help you be greatful that you've improved, and as long as you keep at it, you always will! X3

xD I first saw this in IT in school this morning and I was having silent giggle-fits, the first one just cracked me up. But YES! There is improvment, great improvment! Daria is one of the best shows ever EVER ever ever.
.....I love the legs in the recent one.

Sorry,but the first one made me laugh so hard,OMG ANOREXIC!!!! DDDX But you sure improved a lot,good work X)
And it seems that everyone drew superskinny persons in the beginning,they'd always get thinner "on their way down".Mini feet XDD

The 2005 image! The improvement is both great and obvious. The lines are smoother, the shapes more defined. For future improvement, I'd say just look at anatomy books...you know those skeleton things some people draw before they add in the details? You could try doing those to make sure everything is in proportion before you go and add the clothes and details, et cetera. Also, I like the coloring on her. And as always, the clothes rock! She's REALLY cute!

The first one made me laugh so hard I burst a blood vessel in my eye. The second one looks like a 110% improvement, and the third one looks like a completely different person drew it! I'm amazed at how much someone can improve in just a few years!

It's great to know you kept all the old drawings! I remember I threw away a lot of stuff...
But I remember very well the way I used to draw Murdoc... Fat and with a big schnozzle!
The more interesting thing is your style's development, very good!

zombielily [2005-10-04 22:16:49 +0000 UTC]
Yea, thats one hell of an improvement for sure!
However, I love how you didnt really upgrade her like most artists would, you just drew her in your lastest style as the years went on and left her as is.
I find it hilarious that you said that it looked like someone blew there nose in the first drawing, because, personally, I was thinking almost the same thing XD
The 2002 one looks very simular to the Daria style in my opinion except the little flaws you pointed out, and the high heels look FINE in your newest one. I mean, they actually look like high heel shoes and arent stitches to her feet like in the first image XD She's also really pretty in your current drawing, and I like the colours you chose for her too.
And for a long lost character without a background history or name, shes very interesting to me :3 And yes, draw more of her.
