>Artist improves in almost every area technically
>Art still loses some of its "appeal"
What is this called and why does it happen so often?
>>

Contrast = Appeal.
Shows what you know.
When will you idiots realize that appeal is fucking subjective? Even in the general sense, both of these are appealing.

It's what happens when you neglect copying/studying other artists. Something that seasoned artists often neglect is the importance of creating like a child because without it, there is no true inner beauty that shines through whatever the exterior is.

The left isn't as dynamic or as detailed as the right, but you can FEEL that the artist was thinking "I really want this to look like so-and-so because I like the energy his art evokes in me".

Right looks strange.
Left looks /pro/.

my critique? 2025 drawing is more technically impressive but so visually busy that the important details of the character (clothing and face) have been lost in a sea of fabric folds and hair strands. i'll admit that the pose is far more fluid, but i can gauge the character's princely smug aura better from the 2022 version.

one of the main rules of cartooning (as in, newspaper style cartooning), is that the less details you have in a drawing, the more impactful each detail is.

i have a suspicion that you photoshopped the background out of the 2025 version to present the character, but if there's a complex scene and this individual is not the sole focal point, then i would say you are selectively misrepresenting the artist's work either intentionally or unintentionally.
