What happens in a Year.

So, I was going through some of my old art, and noticed a similarity in these two pictures. Haha ^^ I didn't do the After meme on purpose, so yea.. I know they're a little more different than they should be, but they're still somewhat alike. Ah, my main focus was on the cherry blossom trees! It's really a shame how terrible the left picture is... but hey, you've got to start from somewhere. I'm still not where I want to be, so I'm still shooting for improvement. ^^ I just wanted to show you what can happen in a year with me! 'Cause I think there's a drastic change.
