Description asked me to prove that practicing will make you a better artist! So here it is! The first picture was drawn in 2004-or early 2005 (it wasn't dated so I had to kinda guess) And here's a redone version of it (I'll post it by itself too). As you can see I've practiced drawing and gotten better. I practice hands, anatomy, fabric and the way it folds and moves, Coloring,and so on. The most important part of improving is taking risks. If you can't draw something (ex.hands) don't hide it, draw it anyway until you're good at it!

And here's Mizu again, you can see my crappy old coloring job!:

I bet if you redrew a picture you did only a month ago, you would see a huge difference! You're getting really good ^^ Don't give up!

Faved for the good demonstration effect. When I try to explain this to people I normally take Jim Davis as the artist of my choice because his style did improve immensly within 30 years or so.
Compare this Garfield strip from June the 19 1978 to this from January
the 16th this year.

Chukkz In reply to p-o-c-k-e-t [2008-01-17 20:19:03 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, not sure about the job, but I think you work for some agency rather, and they sell your cartoon to several other newspapers and magazines. But the effect is the same.
