Drawing is a broad term that covers many different activities and disciplines, and proper assessment of progress can not be done based on a few finished examples.
Just generally, it's also unwise to constantly compare your progress with others this way.
Ever seen a new artist that seemed to progress at an incredible rate, then have a sharp decline, and then started to improve again very gradually? It's because the artist started out regurgitating other people's ideas, copied anime as if it were still life. Upon realizing the limitations of that approach, they tried to incorporate less copying and saw a decline in their work. This is the S curve of competence, it happens a lot in art and business, and what matters is that second climb up.

i was going to make a new comparison this week anyway, but it'll take me a while to find the time. here is an old one i posted on /ic/ a couple of times now. the amount of time actually drawing in between is probably about a year or something, the indicator is a little misleading, but honest.
