Childhood toucan redesign

Alright, who's ready for some wholesomeness?

This was my attempt at redrawing a toucan I'd drawn back in 2008-2009, so I was technically 5-6 years old when I drew the original ^^ It felt super fun to see the improvement, together with how some of my old style had a similar vibe to my current one...

It was also my first time drawing on an Oekaki board! Someone from Neocities was hosting one, and felt like making some art in it :V I had lots of fun, that's for sure - The pixelated brushes were a blast to use!

Either way, hope you peeps like this wholesome comparison!

That's really cool way to show your progress and what you have reached. By the way toucan is really cool!

NinAcTi0N responds:

Oh yeah- it's a mix of nostalgia and satisfaction honestly. It was a long path, which is a good reminder that all things paid well art-wise, even if my style is always changing x]

I'm glad you liked him!

This looks so cool! I love the pixelated outlines and the bright colors. The original one you drew as a kid is really impressive too! I certainly wasn't able to draw like that at 6 hahaha!

NinAcTi0N responds:

Aw, thank you so much!! Heh, I'm glad you also liked what little kid me had drawn :'] I was still testing the waters with art, but already had lots of fun back then. It feels very rewarding to go back and see how far we've gone...

And yet I still have lots of room for improvement lolol
