It’s been 4 years since I drew the Sam on the left, and that drawing was actually the beginning of a year long battle with tendonitis

I decided to re-draw it to see not only how much I’ve improved but also how the focus of my art has changed, since 4 years ago I was SO CERTAIN that realism was the only way to go for me

Drawing on the left took 90 minutes, drawing on the right took 35 minutes
