Almost exactly 4 years of improvement.
I've always been really proud of the 2008 portrait, as it was the first proper portrait I ever drew. Since then, I've only really practiced portraiture in the past year or so, and I've moved from graphite to Photoshop
.
Nice to think I've improved even a little - but there's still so far to go!

And a note to the heads of the competition: I understand that this will probably be pulled cause it's a promo image, but it was my first portrait so I just wanted to see how I'd improved since my first.

just ignore the troll, as I don't think he will be on this site much longer. after all he's in trouble with the admins as it is. only a matter of time until the ban hammer hits him
(This was in response to that idiotic hater btw. I love your art!)
The commenter descended quite quickly into plain trolling and was quite obscene so I decided to hide the comments.
