I think it's atypical to just wake up one day and really notice that you're better than you were last time you thought about it.
At least for me, I'll look back at a drawing from years ago and think "Wow, I used to think that looked good?" Until then I won't notice much outside of things I may have learned recently that I started applying.
It's the main reason why I number and date my sketchbooks. It's a gradual process.
I think the only big changes you'll notice with yourself will be early on when you start having a basic grasp of fundamentals. You'll see the difference because you'll have a better thinking process and approach to your drawings.
Past that point you won't be getting too many big epiphanies that'll wildly increase the quality of your work and it'll just be mostly mileage, learning bit by bit.
I can be completely wrong, though.
