Then vs Now: redrawing this old piece 11 years later.

I think it's important to remind people where professional artists started.

In the days of the Almighty Algorithm it's all too easy to forget that any skill worth learning will take time and dedication, and instant success won't happen overnight. My gallery still features pieces from over a decade ago because I hope anyone starting their artistic journey might find encouragement in the process, and I love redrawing old pieces to see just how far I've come.

Besides, it's fun to kick my own ass and laugh about it.

2021 Redraw
