Day 1 of Redrawing My Old, Cringe, Fan art.

Disclaimer:

Ok y’all. My art style is a lot more consistent than it used to be, and in my opinion 100x better than it used to be. I still don’t think it’s good, but I will at least say it’s better. Also keep in mind that I was a lot less experienced when I made the originals and I know that they’re baddd.

So, first piece I’m redrawing is Eliza.

EW.

Ok let’s unpack what I don’t like about this.

1. What are the eyes? They’re uneven and I hate them over all.

2. Hands? Why are they circles? I should have just drawn it to where you couldn’t see her hands, because then I didn’t have to make them CIRCLES.

3. Hair. The pieces on the sides are uneven, it looks like the sketching process.

4. Line art. It looks like I just sketched it. Like the line art looks terrible.

5. I didn’t even color it-

Now onto the new art.

Ways I changed it.

1. I drew it closer so that I didn’t have to draw the hands. ( I still can’t draw hands, I suck lol.)

2. I made the line art look less sketchy. I like the line art in this one.

3. Her mouth. I like it a wholeeee lot better. Once again it’s not good, but it’s definitely better.

4. Her hair is a hell of a lot more even.

5. I colored it in and added a background.

6. I used my actual signature.

My overall rating:

I would give the old art 2/10. I tried and that was the best I could do at the time.

My new art gets a solid 6/10. Could be better, but I have improved so much and I’m proud of that.

If you took the time to read the whole thing thank you for listening to me over analyze for a hot minute.
