2021 vs 2024! + reference (Patreon)

Hi besties!

I wanted to repaint my painting of Shelley Duvall from 2021 the other day and it's finally done! As I've said from the other post I really like repainting my stuff just so I can compare what improved/changed from my style!

I think I was really trying to like.. compensate for the blank boring background by just filling the whole canvas with doodles. Now I'm kind of trying ways to compose my paintings in a way that the objects can fill up the space without it being too crowded like before!

But I do be a maximalist so idk.. I'm gonna keep trying out styles and compositions that works for me!!

What do you guys think?

Here's the reference picture I used of Shelley btw!
