Artist Compares Her Drawings To See What Two Years Of Practice Can Do

I’m so much happier with how this Belle turned out! 😭😍 I remember two years ago that I wasn’t happy about her eyes and narrow face, so I’m really glad now that in my style she’s a bit more fleshed out. Sorry about the clothes, I was really just concentrating on the face 😅 which princess should I do next? ❤️

Time for my yearly Ariel improvement drawing! I can’t believe it’s been a year already? 😳 I definitely feel this year that my art style is going in a somewhat more consistent direction. It’s funny when I look at last year’s picture, and I remember how happy I was about how much I’d learned that year. It’s really nice to feel that way again now! How are you guys going with your improvement? I hope you’re checking regularly! It’s a good exercise ❤️ swipe for older versions, and the full version can be seen on my FB/Twitter 😊

A lot of people asked for Cinderella next! Last year I got quite a lot of hate for the version I drew, which, looking back; I can see why people didn’t like it 😅 that’s not to say there’s certain ways of expressing your opinion though! For the sake of not having to explain in the comments: yes, the one on the left looks more like the Disney Cinderella, because I was essentially just redrawing a screencap. It’s nice to have found a style that I’m comfortable with and makes me happy when I’m drawing. 😊 just wanted to say don’t be scared to try and make an established image/person in YOUR version, because that’s the whole point of making art ❤️

This is my favourite improvement so far! 😭 I’ve struggled so much with Jasmine’s features, and it really broke my heart that I felt like I couldn’t represent her for the past 2 years. It’s not perfect, but I feel like this is a much better attempt this year! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and encouragement the past few days, you guys really inspire me ❤️

Next princess: Snow White! I saw a beautiful photo of a girl that I wanted to use as reference to help with making her look her age. I feel like she definitely looks younger than my other princesses this year, so I’m really happy! Who would you like to see next? ❤️

Next improvement check-up! I totally had my ethnicities confused in 2016 🤦‍♀️ I still really like my 2017 version too, but I decided to try out something different this year. Again, thanks for your messages since I’ve been away, especially on my stories when I was trying to address the unnecessary fighting on my last post. I really appreciate everyone who supports me ❤️😍
