Basic Trope: The art quality improves during the work's run. * Straight: Bob's webcomic starts off as amateurish pencil sketches, but a year later looks like something by a professional cartoonist. * Exaggerated: Bob's webcomic starts as a bunch of scribblings in MS Paint. Some time later, the art is of Norman Rockwell quality. * Justified: The webcomic is about an universe still being under construction by a god; with time, the universe looks better and better. * Inverted: The art quality actually declines over time. * Subverted: The art quality gets better... but it's just because Bob took a holiday break and the webcomic is currently being drawn by his talented friend. * Double Subverted: But when Bob returns to his webcomic, it turns out he learned to draw better

They stand out so much that the locals revere them as gods. * The characters go back in time hundreds of years before the beginning of the webcomic, and end up in a world of primitive stick figures drawn in MS Paint. * Late in the comic, the characters notice something that was supposedly in sight all the time, but the crude art made it hard to make out before. * Deconstructed: Bob invests so much effort into his art that the storytelling suffers, and eventually Bob has to quit the comic altogether because he is such a perfectionist that drawing each episode takes too much time. * Reconstructed: Bob finds an art style for himself that looks nice, yet is also not too hard to draw. * Zig Zagged: The art quality keeps going up and down. * Averted: The art in Bob's webcomic doesn't change much. * Enforced: As Bob draws several pages each week, he naturally becomes better at drawing from all the training. * Lampshaded: "Remember when we used to look completely different and disproportional?" * Invoked: * Bob treats his webcomic mainly as a means to practice drawing. * In-universe: the characters cannot read a blurry clue, so they wait until the art gets more detailed so that they can make out what it says. * Defied: Bob is aiming for Stylistic Suck and tries to make sure that the art doesn't get too good. * Discussed: "I just wonder how are we all going to look in a few months, after the next mysterious Visual Upgrade event hits." * Conversed: "This webcomic may look bad, but the art is gonna get better if it is updated so frequently." * Played For Laughs: "I've been in this comic for ten years, and I still look like a stick figure drawn by a four-year-old while Bob and Alice have turned into the most realistic people in the comic! GET ME SOME ART EVOLUTION, YOU IDIOT ARTIST!" * Played For Drama: A character's wife ceases to love him after Art Evolution makes it clear that he's ugly as sin. Back to Art Evolution.
