Improvement meme 3

Yes, I really love this meme

Before: late 2008
coloured pencils on paper, no shading, few details, acceptable anatomy (i guess)

After: July 2012 [link]
lineart on paper, coloured in photoshop, with shading, more details, better anatomy

My shading is still pretty crappy and I still have problems with my patience. I hoped for more improvement in 4 years but it's pretty cool anyway
