I've decided to start my new Polybook with a one year anniversary character revisit. I joined the 3D Character Workshop in October 2017, and started with the beginner's exercise. This weekend, I revisited that exercise to see how much I've grown. Below are the results!

My interpretation in Oct 2017
Nice progress! There's a definite shading and lighting improvement and a subtle modeling improvement. Good work!
