Random question of the day…

Does anyone else cringe at art they made like 2-3 years ago?..like even though it’s the most recent and your style has barely changed you still feel weird looking at it

Yeah. Tho just very few of my works 2-3 years back are a bit decent but most of them are cringey af
not necessarily cringe but its super weird how i can pick apart everything that now looks 'wrong' to me even just a year back 😩 like wasnt it yesterday when i was proud of this?! its okay though growing is good fjfn
yes actually
Why, yes indeed. Since I’m still no older than fifteen I can only look back about a year before it starts getting cringy. I went through a dragon phase and then a Warrior Cats one and it just makes me wanna sink through the floor at times.
One time I felt like I wasn't improving at art. Then I looked at art I made 2 - 4 years ago...
Told myself to never think like that again because holy shit I cringed so much
I think I've gotten to a point where my art style/skill is at a satisfactory level so no matter how much time passes, I no longer cringe at it bc it looks good regardless.
Some of it is cringey but others I'm still proud of or happy with in some way!
Yeah, specially wonky anatomy and bad expressions, together with the things I was into at the time lol
Yep.
YES IT MAKES ME CRINGE SO HARD LOL
Absolutely but that’s a good thing because you know you improved, hell my art from last summer makes my eyes hurt
I laugh at myself 😌

I once yelled at myself cuz I did something wrong
It's not something cringe, it's more like "why these guys had a big ass head and why they're so colorful???" I like my old art, but why the bigs heads??
I question my past creations, and wonder, wtf I was thinking, it looks terrible, I believe I still have them, I might re-created some old art
I haven't made art at all until like 5 months ago- so what's the next best thing to cringe at? My current art.
Yeah😭. Though my style has changed LOTS, so that’s probably why I cringe at it so much lol. I’m just happy to be where I am, and I almost don’t like being reminded of previous art😅
I cringe at my art now
Yes
