Draw it again! [6 year diffrence]

So for todays warmup, I have decided upon doing a redraw of the first deviation i ever posted on deviant art! I'm gonna have the shaded version up soon but for now, this is the redraw~

personally, i know i have come a long way, and it has taken a lot of time to improve this much. Both my skills in writing and art have improved immencely. This little thing is for all of you out there who think you cant improve, think you arent improving fast enough, or just think that you will never be able to draw. Trust me when i say that you will get there, it just takes time to develop.
