April 2013 version: meekochan.deviantart.com/art/S…
June 2014 version: meekochan.deviantart.com/art/S…
Sept 2015 version: meekochan.deviantart.com/art/S…

The original is a practice speedpaint heavily using a photo ref. For comparison purposes...
I have used same ref photo yet again,
kept the time limit under 2 hrs (even though none reached the 2 hr mark),
and mainly used an unfamiliar tool in ArtRage to for painting the clouds.
(2013: Oil paint and palette knife | 2014: Crayon | 2015: Watercolors)

So this is a comparison to see improvements(?) on how well I adjusted to unfamiliar tools, tweak their settings, pick colors, and how much I strayed from the ref. (Oops!) Anyway, I like 2014's clouds overall...when zoomed way out. >_<' As for colors, I prefer 2015's. While 2013 doesn't work for me overall, I do like how much more expressive it is compared to the later versions. (*glares at hand* Stop trying to smoothly blend everything!)

So...which one(s) do you like?
