You've definitely improved on details like the hair and body proportions, however I think it would have been better to sculpt the new one in the same style as the old one. It's simply a style change, but doing it in the same style I think would help to see the improvements better. Both sculpts are amazing though. You have an amazing talent!

[@yansculpts]

I agree that makes sense, a better comparison would be to do it in the same style. It is still interesting to see an artists change as a whole, including the style no :)?

You might as well look at the anime screenshots and it's almost the same thing. The new one has more of the artist behind it because it's not trying to imitate another style, it has a more distinct style to the point where you can actually tell who the artist is.

[@fumetsusozo]

Overall I mostly prefer the old one. The new one isn't bad or worse, but I wouldn't really call it a improvement as it is more simply a art style change, and I am not one who agrees to the idea changing to a realistic style is a evolution. However the cool thing you improved on here is you can now get it done in less then half the time regardless of whatever style you choose.

[@Oozaru85]

Well, if you've never done realistic before, then it definitely would be an improvement.

[@lauralaura4362]

its a more complex style that would take more skill than the original model's style so it is an improvement

[@-red-1838]

In all honesty I get were everyone is getting at, that It would be hard to judge since the art style is in fact different. But you have to remember, that like pencil drawing or anything in general, you start of with a style that either you the artist likes or is comfortable with. But as time does on, you either pick up on new styles and either start applying that to your old one or just start all over. So though the his old one is closer to the anime, it’s not really how it’s closer but *how much he improved* If you are an artist and you look back at your sketchbook, you’ll realize that if you redraw that one drawing let’s say you did a year ago, you’ll start to realize that the style is different, the shading, proportions. That’s how you know you improved, when you’re out of your comfort zone and trying new things. Anyways I saw the new one is way better. 👌🏻

[@arioctober7867]

I think the style has improved but I think the expressionless face of the newer one makes me like the old one better.

[@scottcombs3882]

You can improve! Some processes just slow down your improvement. Creating fewer, but more complex pieces means that you probably work with many tools and things over a long period of time instead of practicing with great focus on fewer areas. It might be harder to see improvement in those select areas you're noticing if you don't solely work on them in shorter more frequent projects.

[@dungofrungus7659]

To be fair most self taught artists never ask anyone for help and have too big of an ego and just shrug off any feedback. Since so many shrug off feedback, people stop wasting their time giving it. Or a self taught artist finds their own way of doing something, which generally doesnt lead to any sort of improvement whatsoever, and since everyone is busy trying to do things their own way everyone is just going off in different clueless directions. Its actually way more surprising if someone does improve at all in a year considering how bad of an ego a self taught artist develops by themselves. Seen people get lots of great feedback that falls upon deaf ears that just want to keep doing the same old same old as the months and years pile up before them. Theres also a huge rash of people trying to teach other people how to do art who barely know what they are doing in the first place, further misleading a lot of potential future artists. When shitty artists try to tell a beginner they don't really have to learn anatomy very well or some other bullshit advice.
