For today, the prompt was: “Redrawing an older picture using what you’ve learned / Drawing a pony learning from a mistake”. Well, in Lyra’s defence, you’re going to have tough times ahead if you decide to skate down a bumpy brick road – no matter what.

For this, I decided to redraw this old drawing from way back. But generally, it’s not a proper redraw, since the old one is done in full colour, while this one isn’t. I also spent several days drawing the old version, so while the basic style and technique are now much better, the old one has arguably some more thoughtful details. But at least Lyra didn’t forget her helmet this time!
