My god, the improvement! It's just so lovely! <3 I really like both, the older one is more sketchy and such and the newer one is more refined and bold. Like I said, both are good, for various reasons on their own, but I like them!
Gah!!!!! You've improved so much in a year D: I like them both. What I really like about the old one is her facial expression, how her face is more colourful, esp. in the cheeks and lips. What's good about the newer version is the collar and hat are more 'filled in', if you will, and not so flat. And I really like the shading of her eyes.
Very impressive, both are quite well drawn and I like each of them for their respective styles. I specifically like the texturing and shadowing in the older one more though and I think the more subtle colouring in the new one is nicer though. It would be cool to see a drawing that was a mix between your favorite features the two though
They're both cute, but I actually like the old one more (don't kill me) mostly because of the little details like the lip gloss, and blush, her eyes seem sexier too, I wanna draw like that meself
And thanks for letting me know why you like the older one better its very helpful to keep in mind. C:
