Improvement meme

Made for 's Improvement Challenge! (she's like my inspiration btw check her out)

I'm really grateful she makes challenges like this. Challenges that are actually meant for us. Like that, I don't care if I don't win haha I gained something already anyway. I can see my improvement (although just a tiny bit) in one year. Well this is in one year and 2 days, really. Not exactly one year.. Something I regret so much is that I didn't draw much this year. I didn't manage to draw something worth posting every month so I really need to work on rendering and stuff that you do on "finished" artworks. I flipped it btw XD I just think it kinda looks better

Tbh, I don't really think I improved much. Especially on backgrounds. BACKGROUNDS XD Backgrounds are always something I'm bad at. But at least I think I THINK its less strange like this. Like... the door acutally has frames and I don't think you can see the floor at that point of view and I actually did a tiny bit of (failed) perspective.
The other thing I changed is the pose. I drew boring poses back then I think. Just standing straight and nothing really going on so I thought I need to change that. Do you think my proportions improve btw? I am a little bit proud of it. XD Its not perfect, its bad tbh, but kinda improved right? RIGHT?
I don't think I improved much on colours its still too dark. Way too dark. It is supposed to be dark but this is too dark I think. Oh and something I really improved on would be to like to make something look more 3D. Last year I drew hands like they're cut out from paper XD its better now I guess. Oh the blending is actually better because I was using iPad back then (I had no drawing tablet) and now I'm using a drawing tablet so there's supposed to be a different there
