Line 78:
* Kentaro Miura's artwork in ''[[Berserk]]'' has gone from being average to arguably being the best in the manga industry as it became more and more detailed and realistic. From volume 7, Miura has continued to refine his artwork, especially in the his characters' faces.
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' started off with Toriyama's signature style with nearly uninterrupted lines, in other words almost no sharp angles. As the series progressed, the most notable change occurred mid-way through the Saiyan Saga of ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' and the characters were almost entirely made of sharp angles.
* While somewhat subtle, ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' saw this happen.

The most dramatic differences are probably in Ginji, whose hair lengthened quite a lot, and [[Tsundere|Himiko]], who started out looking very plain and almost boyish in her introduction story, but is incredibly ''pretty'' by the time we hit the Eternal Bond arc. Something in the way her eyes are drawn and her lips are shaded does it. That Rando Ayamine improved drastically over the course of 39 volumes is the general consensus.
* [[Osamu Tezuka]] evolved from being a competent amateur to being the best artist in the field he helped invent.

One is comedy and the other horror, but '''damn'''.
