This is really fun and will make you inspired to keep working. Sometimes it is easy to forget how fast we improve if we just keep trying!
Anyone who has a deviantart might know of this- the quest for improvement. Basically, find a bunch of your old pictures, preferably those that can be easily compared to one another (ie: the same character drawn from different years) and put them together in a collage time line, and see how much you've grown! This can be done to show growth over years, months,or even weeks (As in 10 weeks worth of improvement, eh?).
Example from my blog:
and a general tip is, if you DON'T have a character you draw consistantly, simply go and find something old you did, and draw it again. In example, my character, Jonathon Lawson, as he was just a little over a year ago, and how he is as of 2 minutes ago:
(er...granted...this is probably a bad example, actually, seeing as I draw the character consistently enough to where he's obviously evolved in design as well...but...you get the idea)
Go, try it out, and post your results here! I can't wait to see how everyone here has improved
