wow. seriously I can't stand the ones on the left from 2011. Dx That's also my sister's handwriting down there where it says 'Bakari "promising"'. Those were both her characters (that I drew). Though she's not into Lion King enough anymore to have characters, so lol.
In 2011 and 2012, those 2011 sketches of yours were exactly what mine looked like. ;-; You're not alone. But great improvements! You have inspired me to do the same thing. XD
