There are a lot of success formulas, but probably all of them consist of practice and time, and the saying 'Practice makes perfect' is here not without reason. This is especially true for drawing, where understanding proportions, shading, and other techniques can turn a crude circle with lines into a detailed, realistic face. 'Draw This Again!' drawing challenge invites artists to re-draw their pencil sketches and drawing ideas and present them side-by-side for comparison, showcasing their skill improvement.
From pencil drawings to vibrant 3D rendering creations - these images prove that nobody was born an artist and the journey to mastering drawing involves a lot of patience and hard work. Have you also been producing some cool drawings? Then post your version of 'Draw This Again!' below and don't forget to vote for your favorite beautiful drawings!

I’ve made a creature called a Shiniki, it’s a sort of a celestial feline I’ve made out of inspiration of Pokémon’s Espeon & Moon Studios’ Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest. Most, of not all the people I showed the sketches to recognized it as an Espeon so I was just scared of the Pokémon creators trying to say this is stolen. TL.DR: it’s a creature I’ve created that looks similar to a Pokémon and I’m afraid that Pokémon (the company) will sue me or something

Just one look at the age 13 drawing, it is obvious that we have a talented artist here. Not surprised at the results of the Age 23. He's going far........
Holly Bramhall 8 years ago
Funny, I thought the age 13 one wasn't too good for 13 (comparing it to my own at 13 - now) and then I looked at 23 and I was like woah the improvement! To be fair it is 10 years but still xD

I was pretty good in the 2nd grade. However, since then, my drawing ability has been on a downward slope. I'm seventy-nine now, but I've been thinking of trying again. These pictures show me that that is a stupid idea. These people spent TEN YEARS without achieving absolute perfection? Well, that's ten wasted years to me, So much for my silly dream. Six months I can see but TEN YEARS? They must be insane.

These anthropomorphic animals are unappealing to me. Are people having sex with animals?
Martha Vann (Submission author) 8 years ago
My love of art and anthropomorphic characters came from growing up with cartoons, comic books and Disney movies. Furries do exist but not everything is about sex. I didn't know about furries or furry culture till college, that is when I stopped drawing them because I didn't want to be associated with that culture. However, the task of a redraw is to redraw old artwork and a lot of my artwork was anthropomorphic from when I was younger. If you look at any of my recent art, you won't find any anthropomorphic characters.

I love how the original bird, like the artist, looks tentative and a little reserved; the later picture looks determined and sure. Also, the first is green and new and the second is more experienced and warmer (like summer or fall)

Dear Submisson Author: both the old and new monsters are cool, but you should make a one picture combo of these "before" and "after" versions, otherwise you might get further minus points for not making it according to the article's idea! Cheers

Other people have told me that too! Even though my anatomy skills really improved, I think people prefer the digital-colored version and think it looks better. I guess I'll have to redo this drawing again digitally and see how that works out!

Hey, they ARE cute, yo have no idea what you are talking about. You seem to be bashing a lot of people. Let them be, they are trying to make it, in whatever they do, and here you are criticising them, and while CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is okay and appreciated by many, your criticism is just rude.

What's even more interesting to me, and almost never represented in this sort of post, is that oftentimes the "after" images that are shown here actually represent only part of the evolution of a lot of artists. Everyone begins drawing with the goal of reproducing realistic images. With practice, many artists master this. And then eventually a lot of artists who have mastered realistic representational art evolve beyond it, realizing that visual arts have the ability to convey both ideas and emotions through non-realistic elements that resonate with viewers in a different way. This is where artists find and express their individuality, and where they move beyond technicians to express themselves and not just to draw what they see in front of them. Van Gogh and Picasso were both relatively realistic early in their careers, but neither is famous because he reproduced what he saw. Both will be remembered through time because they created representations of what they imagined and felt.

This post is proof that anyone can learn to draw, it just takes practice, and determination just like anything else. I've been in art courses where people go into it only being able to draw stick figures, and come out of it with a completely honed skill of drawing.
Ivy Lyster 8 years ago
These are really cool! I just wish people would stop commenting "I wish I could do this", or "I'm so not like this". First of all this is self-hate, and it also puts the attention on yourself, not the artist. Thanks!
Miriam Hirsch 8 years ago
It's funny, there are lots of comments about the photorealistic work being better. Study the old masters. their work does not look photorealistic. Photos are flat and not really realistic at all. Drawing from life looks totally different and natural. If more arts programs were taught in schools starting from kindergarten, more people would be aware of the differences in perception.
Talise Snyder 8 years ago
I agree with you, and I think that people praise the photorealistic works because it pretty unbelievable that someone could draw something and make it look so realistic.

Three things I learned from this post- 1. There are people with less talent than me. 2. The are people with way more talent than me. 3. I don't like CGI. Oh and 4, practice may not make perfect but it definitely improves! Well done people. Keep on drawing :)
