Artist Compares Her Illustrations To Show What Two Years Of Practice Can Do

I'd say it's more a difference in style than a straight-up improvement. I would also query whether she's using the same materials and equipment now as then. TL;DR: I like them both, I think she was good then and is still good ^_^

In most cases, I actually like the left one more. Pocahontas being an exception

The 2018 images lack the innocence the earlier ones have.

Yet another post with drawings of Disney characters. Zzz.

Both versions are great. As mentioned earlier - it's different style, not better drawing. And I prefer 2016 version.

Damn these are all good I can't draw to save my life

The older ones are more true to the Disney style. The later ones are her own style it seems. Both are cool.

I love how she made the characters more realistic looking , more like people and in her perspective. I love it :D

While I like the illustrations a lot I'm just quite over princesses at this point. They've been drawn in so many different ways that I've become numb to it. I want to support this artist but I'm struggling to really admire the art.

I love the development of her own style. The earlier ones look a lot more like the Disney Style in a way, but the 2018 ones are her own style of the characters and I appreciate that.

The style has changed and I like the 2016 versions better. They're more fresh and alive. In the 2018 versions the artist kills the colour a bit, almost afraid of a brave colour choice, with less definition. They're still better than what I can do but that's just my point of view.

Her newer illustrations are a nice evolution from someone else's style to one of her own, showing more subtleties of expression. I hope she feels ready to take on the challenge of portraits of real people.

the artist needs to get back to 2016. They're far better.

I would encourage her to try her art with new characters. copying is a good thing when you are young, but you have to move on.

This is what I think... the 2018 app he’s may be the better pieces but I think that the first (for most of them) were better as the animations they were supposed to be

Her artwork is beautiful but it would be nice if she draw something original.

It looks like she was trying to make them look more "realistic" to a degree, either way i like both of them. Good job.

I don't think it's a matter of getting better with practice, it's more of an evolution of style and technique.

I wouldn't say she has become a better artist. I would say she is evolving toward a more realistic and emotional style. Her workvis more mature.

Yup, give her another few years and she'll be better still, and then another few years...

To everyone who liked the earlier ones better, I think the growth is that the later ones are more unique. The artist is really coming into her own. The earlier ones look more like the traditional Disney characters. There was clearly skill, but she was copying the style and character of the pictures. In the later ones, she has the necessary base skills to open up and express herself. Regardless of which one is more appealing, the 2018 ones are probably a lot more expressive of the artists inner voice. I've experienced the same transitions in my own art.

So many judgmental comments, as a fellow artist this hurts me to see someone complain about something as little as shading (Or contour as people call it, but it is a drawing and not a real face) *Sad sigh*

I think the earlier ones are more similar and the ones now are more revamped you could say...?

not much of an improvement per se, more like a change of style? also all of her characters from 2018 have the exact same face shape which kills their individual perks ):

Beautiful, but the newer ones are far too dark. Otherwise, talented artist.

Your new style is a little muddy.y You might want to bring back some of the brighter colors.
