this is a redraw, see a side by side with the previous 5 iterations here!
5 years of drawing and redrawing the same concept since january 2018… had a bit of trouble with timing and inspiration with this year’s so it’s a couple months belated, but once it felt like i was executing my vision & utilizing skillsets i honed in the past year i started to feel good about it.
i’m so grateful to have this snapshot of my art style’s evolution over the years. each iteration has its own tone and vision, and it’s incredible to me to see how many different places i can take this one concept. to any artists following me, i heavily encourage you redrawing old art, even if it’s just once, to have a visual of just how far you’ve come!
i continue to unintentionally alternate between graphic and painterly styles each year—the pieces on the left all have lines, whereas the right are all lineless. i’m not sure why i cycle between the two, but it’s very amusing and cool to me. i enjoy aspects of each in their own right, and these days i find myself looking back on my old art and appreciating how i would lean on my strengths with room to experiment and innovate. i take the lessons i learned on each of these with me to use on future works.
