Then and Now
I'm looking to do a big feature of new vs. old artwork. It's a great way to show progression. Feel free to share two thumbs from your gallery, one old and one new. The only restriction is that they are in the same category (ie. both are digital paintings, etc.)

In that time, I made the leap to digital, and have entirely stopped tracing for portraits. Another comparison for two paintings that I think are similar:
September 2012: August 2014
Again, switched almost entirely to digital and learned to use light a lot better.

Hum, I have some remakes of my own works. Here is one.
The only problem is: the old one I moved to Scrap, but both are Photomanipulations.
