Sketchbook: Then and Now 2, Sentry Redux

Well, I was going through my closet looking for more old drawings to redo, and I found the portfolio we put out for my high school graduation. As I leafed through it, I found not one, but two more drawings of the Sentry, far enough apart from each other that you can see the progression in quality. I found it pretty fascinating just to see what's changed over the years. So what I did was put all four drawings side-by-side-by-side-by-side.
Let's take a look!

2007: Crappy drawing, I've mentioned that in the earlier post.
2009: Better.  There's a definite anatomy to speak of, and the artwork "flows" better.
2010: Marked improvement, but takes heavy inspiration from the Superman Returns poster. Not sure, but tracing may have been involved to help with the perspective.
2013: Definitely an improvement in anatomy, flow, highlighting, and hair artwork.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting to actually be able to see improvement in my artwork on the same subject over a period of time. Kind of opened my eyes. I wonder if a few years down the road I'll upload another Sentry sketch? Well, we'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
