20 Artists Have Recreated Their Old Artwork, and the Progress Is Incredible
The “Draw This Again” Challenge is an online phenomenon that asks artists to recreate their old artwork in order to be able to see their improvement. Over many internet platforms, artists have been doing just that, finding drawings they created while they were younger or when they first started drawing and turning that simple sketch into a new and improved masterpiece.
We at <strong>Bright Side thought we’d show you these moments of growth, to prove it’s never too late to pick up a pencil or paint brush, and that practice really does make perfect.
1. 11 months: “My 2016 new year’s resolution was to draw every day. Here’s my progress from January to December.”
2. 15+ years: This childish dragon sketch has really evolved into a fierce beast.

When I was a kid I really wanted to draw, but my mom was so sure that for drawing you need to have a talent. I believed her and did't attend art school
In the last years I understood that it's most of a hard work, and not talent
The progress of the guy from #9 is incredible! It's impossible to believe someone can create such realistic paintings ?
This compilation is so motivating! Just shows me that hard work WILL help to achieve the progress :)
