So, I finally figured out how to do one of these, and I have a pic good enough to compare.

This is a before and after pic (duh) of my character. The worst and first next to the recent and decent (lol, terrible rhyming).

Anyway, I don't know how clear the wording is underneath, so this is what it says:

Before I had a scanner and art skills || 7 months of practice
1st time I drew my character || 20 plus ours in photoshop...

So, yeah, my skills have come a long way...
