The difference is hardly notable.

 

Wow, you really have improved. But just something I'd like to point out, the after one kind of has a line going through her face where there are the 2 shades of color.

 

that was done on purpose

 

Ah, I see, it looked kind of off to me. But great job on the art, and may I ask how you learned to create art like this?

Holy cow ;w;
