It’s easy to compare your artworks and drawing techniques to those of the greats and feel miserable. But if you’re an aspiring creator you need to understand that nobody was born a genius and everyone has to start somewhere. And nothing proves this better than the ‘Draw This Again’ challenge (previously here and here).
Its rules are really simple. Artists upload side-by-side images of their earlier and current works, showcasing how much they’ve progressed. And some of the participants are even redoing their old pencil sketches, which makes the effect of the then and now comparison so much stronger. From realistic drawings to surreal character design, scroll down to check out the improvements and the unique art they’ve made over the years and upvote your favorites of these beautiful drawings.
