i thought it would be funny to draw how i drew 6 years ago. this was what my art more or less looked like in 2012. I had no concept of anatomy whatsoever and i didn't know how to color things or pick nice colors. I didn't have access to digital art so i always drew on paper, thankfully i've been keeping as much as my art (even 5 second doodles) since halfway through 2012. i have a few things from before that, but not much as i often threw away what i drew.
the drawing on the right is a copy of something i drew in 2012, the drawing on the left was me trying to adapt the style to something i like better.
i had a few characters i made that year, some i still use, others are awaiting a redesign before i find a new use in my current stories for them.
i probably spent at least an hour drawing (and badly coloring) the original piece (one on the right), and now me drawing in that style only took me a few mins, likely 1 min as i slent more time on the left sketch
