I Tried To Draw My Childhood Drawings Again 30 Years Later (12 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I’m a comic artist, illustrator, and writer from Beijing. I’ve lived in Italy, and now I am based in the UK. I’ve redrawn some of my childhood drawings from 30 years ago, and here’s the result!

This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too.
Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat.
My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

She was amazing even at age 7. The new drawings, very good, and although more sophisticated... I feel those from age 7 have a more jovial and magical feel.

You’re an excellent drawer when you were younger. 👏 I’m not surprised that you’re an artist now! 😄
