About 4 months ago, I started drawing rather frequently. One of the first things I did was a sketch of my Dark Heresy, an Arbite named Karen Murphy who's definitely not just a thinly veiled reference to a series of novels about a wizard detective.

Four months went by. I kept drawing, kept improving, etc. etc.

Then I bought a Wacom tablet, because I had money to blow and felt like splurging on a luxury item.

I tried the same drawing again.

Here's the before/after.

(Just for info sake: She's wearing a Mesh Combat Cloak beneath pretty much regular clothes, an Arbites robe, and weilding a staff and a Bolt Pistol.)
