I needed to redesign it, since my drawings had different sizes.

Separate drawings can be found here: Challenge! - 2014 Edition

FINALLY! It took me 19 months to finish... But here it is so you can enjoy my improvement in digital manga drawings throughout last one year and a half (the drawings were drawn in a chronological order).

I'm pretty much proud of myself - I made quite a big progress. As you can see, my improvement is anything but steady - after one nice picture, I mess up another one, I try new ways to draw something, sometimes I seem to forget what I learnt last time. But, all in all, the resultant seems to be rising.

To sum up I think that:
- The anatomy is somewhat better.
- The poses are a bit more solid and 'consistent'.
- I paid more attention to choosing colours - I gave up on eye-dropping and started to consciously choose the colour pallette.
- The lineart is slightly better.
- I experimented with the perspective - still got much to learn, but first steps were made.
- I started drawing backgrounds! They may be simple (and sometimes I decided to stick to good old gradient) but it's something!
- I changed the way of shading - gave up on cell-shading and played around with some other styles.
- The clothes are slightly better now.

I know, some of these changes are minor, but sometimes I need to convince myself I'm actually getting better ;]

Complete list of the characters:
1. Fai - Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
2. Akira Takizawa - Higashi no Eden
3. Xerxes Break - Pandora Hearts
4. Yin - Darker Than Black
5. Miliardo Peacecraft - Gundam Wing
6. Princess Mononoke - Princess Mononoke
7. Alice - Pandora Hearts
8. Erza Scarlet - Fairy Tail
9. Misato Katsuragi - Neon Genesis Evangelion
10. Mahiro - Zetsuen no Tempest
11. L - Death Note
12. Kyoko Kirigiri - Danganronpa Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei - The Animation
13. Shiro - Deadman Wonderland
14. Esteban - Mysterious Cities of Gold
15. Lloyd - Code Geass
16. Hige - Wolf's Rain
17. Grevil - Gosick
18. Natsu - Fairy Tail
19. Suzaku Kururugi - Code Geass
20. Howl - Howl's Moving Castle
21. Misa Amane - Death Note
22. Ginko - Mushishi
23. Olivier Armstrong - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
24. Hei - Darker Than Black
25. Rin Okumura - Ao no Exorcist
26. Blue - Wolf's Rain
27. Roy Mustang - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
28. Sorata - X
29. Aika Fuwa - Zetsuen no Tempest
30. Iku Kasahara - Toshokan Sensou (Library Wars)

I used more than one character from some anime - the list was made a year and a half ago so it didn't include the animes I watched since then.
