literally ten years of drawing later...

I had to log back into deviantart for this...
I hope you guys enjoy this improvement check! had to do a simpler video this week bc I was out of town for two weeks hehe. Next video will be the DEBUT of my Vtuber so I'm excited.

∆ Thank you to Amarante for providing a good portion of the music! Listen to them below:

I love videos like this seeing progress of artist. It really shows a lot.

[sigamigs]

Love seeing Haley's evolution over the years!

[lofi-lila]

I love how your old style was so rugged and emo and your aesthetic now is literally the definition of pastelcore

[espeaeon]

whoa... i remember being there in 2016 when the original redraw video came out. that's so crazy i didn't realize it's been five years already? that's half a decade!! you've improved so much and it's been an honor to be here for that much of your progress :D

[tishabloom]

The fact you had to log back into deviantart for this already shows how dedicated you were to this

[xx._karii]

OMG! I was like "these drawings remind me of deathnote" and then you mentioned it was a character of the show and I was like omg I see it now
You have improved so much with lineart and the way you draw hair so SO YUMMY!!
Btw with your vids in general, your jokes and confidence come out way more and the little animations you add are super cute
You've grown so much as an artist and youtuber and deserve all your recognition!

[cryptidtoast]

the improvement on this one is amazing the lighting and background really makes it feel like a complete piece and it shows how much you have progressed in every aspect!! i think im gonna do one of these redraws for new years!

You're slowly inspiring me to have the desire to apply myself to digital art again. I keep picking it up as a hobby, getting bored and putting it down for years. I'm 25, started on GIMP (didn't we all?) when I was actually 10 and my first tablet was age 14. Here I am, 25...haven't finished a digital art piece since 2015 and I'm still upgrading my tablet I hardly touch every year or so. "One day...one day..." I keep telling myself this. Lost all my artistic confidence over the last several years and most of my abilities/talent as well.

I always listen to the end, so I can hear the comforting, “And of course, lebleblebleh”

(This looks beautiful, but no one should surprised, coming from you. You always brighten my day, thank you so much)

[hermsummerrose]

You've come such a long way, as has your style! I love your art and how it's been evolving.

The calm ukelele while 16 year old Hayley was having a mental breakdown about her past art 😭😭😭

[peggedyourdad]

Your first drawing looks like you were trying to emulate elements of the art style of the anime Soul Eater. Nice to see that someone else enjoyed that one back in the day.

[dr.funnybones]

i love these sorts of videos that show progress, it shows how practice can dramatically improve artistic talent

[neutralwarlord]

I really love the insane glow-up from you

[cloverleaflets]

"Wow, I really love the first one"
BREAKING NEWS: Youtuber 'LavenderTowne' has seriously just burst into tears. Or flames. The user is unknown to be dead or alive.

[rainniebee]

you’ve improved so much! your such an inspiration for me and i’ve been watching your videos since 2018 💕
edit: oh yea the description of your redraw was amazing

[garfled]

I remember watching your original redraw! I can't believe it's already been so long lol

[grassylemons]

just seeing the picture i can see how much you've improved! wow well done!!

[ethan]

I swear I remember seeing the original way back in my deviantart days so its always fun to see Haley go back to it!

If you do another redraw one day here is my CC: This character's entire atmosphere seems to be changing from the original. The original seems real depressed (like all 2010 emo boys lol) whereas I get a mischievous happy vibe from the new one.
Totally fine to change the atmosphere obviously, but I personally suck at setting the mood so it would be interesting to see how you can do that better than your 2010 self! :)

[PinkishDeath]

haven’t started watching but i already know i’m gonna love it!
