Then and Now- Seven Years of Practice

Wanted to share a then and now picture today- featuring two different graphite portraits I made, seven years apart. 


I used to be terrified of drawing portraits and faces in general but it was an element I often added into my drawings so, without thinking, I was practicing and getting better year by year until I looked back at my old drawings one day and said “I guess I have improved.” 😅

Looking through my old drawings was so fun, remembering when and why I drew all these things. The second picture features what my old bedroom wall used to look like years and years ago (excuse the bad quality) it was filled with notebook paper drawings and now looking back on it, I really cherish it. 


I have plenty more old drawings stashed away, should I do more of these then and now posts?
