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 like how the face of the girl on the right seems warmer and more inviting. The girl on the right's face is more cold and she seems more distanced.

The clothes matured as well. It shows how the person has grown, too. That's my favorite past of this. Not just how the talent has changed, but how the person has grown.

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

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.
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!
