Gift for my old friend Thyzara who I drew an icon for waaaay back in 2013! I needed to get my art juices flowing again, so I decided to redraw it with my style now and... wow, the difference is like night and day.

It goes to show that artistic talent / ability doesn't stem from just being 'born good'. It's a lot of practice and time put into doing the same thing over and over, practicing, and trying new things to get it right. You don't become professional overnight! There's been years of repetition, anatomical research, and tutorial reading between these two images.
