Redraw Meme - Wea

Meant to post this ages ago after I did the original redraw. Finally got around to it. That first drawing is where I STARTED while looking at artists that inspired me like CaptainMorwen at the time for ideas where I struggled (mostly the paws, I thought everything else was fine lol). This is to demonstrate that everyone starts SOMEWHERE, just pick up a pencil and put all the effort you can into it! That's the best way to improve.

I think I'll do a collage of all my first drawings and a collage of recent drawings or redraws in this same meme to help push this idea along. I've read several comments on my profile in the past year about never being able to draw or their stuff looking like crap etc etc. To me it's just about drawing for yourself and getting better with practice, care, and time. Take time on your drawings. None of mine are pushed out in an hour. Perhaps when I become an even better artist I can draw that quickly, but my most basic drawings take me at least 2.5 hours I guess I'm a perfectionist, or I want good quality, idk. Just have some confidence and what you've worked on! You worked hard on it, be proud of it! Just like I was infinitely proud of my first Wea drawing and my very first deviation. Just keep it up!

Obviously both of these are cropped in some areas. Find the originals below.
