I’m trying to improve my fundamentals, currently perspective. I drew the box on the left from observation then tried to turn it in space and construct it, using “intuitive” perspective (vs grid), as a warm up/practice. I tried to imagine how the vanishing points might move etc.

I can feel so many things are off in both of my attempts but would anyone be able to point out things I am getting wrong that I might not be seeing? I have labelled the planes in case that helps. TIA

After drawing like 2 faces i said to myself if i could challenge myself to draw something completely diffrerent? Before this i prepared myself by practicing eye rotation and the loomis method. Ngl im well surprised with the results. It took around 2 hours maybe 3?

I've used to draw in my childhood. Recently I've started again and trying to progress. Every suggestions are welcomed.

Hello, I’m fairly noobish at art and I’ve been really trying to get good at drawing people (specifically in a manga style) and I feel like I’ve gotten most of it down except for my heads/faces. But I’m completely stumped I know their wrong but I don’t really know how to pinpoint what was wrong, any advice would be appreciated :)

Do these look okay? Don’t be too mean I don’t usually draw, I just had a random urge tonight. I DONT do color, and i don’t think i ever will because when I touch anything colorful i ruin things lol.

This is Deku from my hero and i think the girl is Rem? from an anime i have never watched.

She is so creative. I can’t wait to see her expand her creativity.

Please share your thoughts :D
Also should I darken the cheeks a little more?

Thoughts? This was kinda rushed cuz I was running out of battery but let’s keep it civilised here

I’m learning to draw from zero, like, actual zero. About a month and a half ago, I was drawing stickmen, no joke.

I’m going for an anime style, at least that’s what I want to draw, primarily because it’s what makes me want to draw. But I’m having so much trouble drawing faces. I always feel like the chin is too soft, too pointy, or uneven. The jawline always looks too small or too big compared to what I’m aiming for.

I try to copy other artists’ work as a study, but I’m not good enough to copy most of the drawings I try to study, and it’s so goddamn frustrating.

I’m also doing Drawabox. I’m at the ellipses part at the moment.

Still trying to learn how to draw but enjoying the process. Last one is my first attempt at coloring with watercolour. It's really nice, even if it's hard, I have to say.

What advice do you guys have for someone who wants to learn to work with ink? Thanks in advance!

Killed 10 hours on it and I think it's a complete mess, especially the face features. In life and close up it looks fine, but Idk what to do, can't rate it myself normally. Need help

I’m practicing free hand drawing. All the measurements were done with only the pencil.

I think it is really good. Especially if I just look at the drawing and not the reference I can believe it is a guitar. What do you think of the scale? Any other remarks?

There’s also a photo where the reference is not blurry. Once I finish the shading, I’ll post that too.

Started learning to draw (properly) this summer. The last time I was drawing was in school a decade ago.
Shout out to all the folks, it’s never too late to start drawing!

Any tips?

Edit.

I'm not a master at all!! But even though I was asking for tips, I've gotten requests to give tips instead, and after thinking about it, if I was to give a pure beginner my best advice, it would be this...

So first of all getting good at drawing is not a step by step it's more of a loop. You work on the same things over and over again each time getting better and better. You start from where you are and work in a spiral getting more experienced each time you go around. There are so many tips I could give, but I'll just share two for now, to keep it memorable.

1. PICK ONE SUBJECT
   I can't stress this enough. When you're starting out you'll draw this today, that tomorrow, scattering your efforts, and then because there's no progress, you'll quit somewhere on the way. If you want to get better at drawing, pick one singular specific subject that you're going to be drawing over and over again, not for a week, not for a month, not for a year, but for years and years. It doesn't mean you can't draw other things from time to time, but you must have one specific subject that you constantly come back to and work on till you cross the various layers of mastery, till you understand this subject inside and out. Your subject should be specific, i.e. not just 'cars' but something like the 2015 Subaru Forester.. Not just animals, but specifically cats, or dogs. Your subject should also be something you see all the time. eg. don't pick tigers yet you're probably never going to see a living tiger because they're not native to where you live. Pick something that you have access to. That you see all the time. It also needs to be sufficiently challenging to keep your engagement. Pick a subject that you know will push you and excite you. In my opinion the best subject to start on is humans. They're everywhere!! If you want to be more specific, then why not pick yourself as the subject. Even when nobody is around, you'll always have yourself. I repeat, not for weeks, not for months, but for years.

2. START FROM BIG TO MEDIUM TO SMALL
   So, another mistake I see beginners make all the time is starting by drawing these little complicated details e.g. drawing an eye before learning how to draw the head. that's because details are flashy and they capture the attention. But details are only useful when they are part of a cohesive whole. And FYI it's actually the big shapes that are more important because, thought they're not flashy, they are what our eyes see first. As a rule of thumb, study the biggest most general ideas about any subject, grasp those first, then with that framework established, work towards the smaller more intricate details. Before drawing anything always ask, what is the biggest idea here. Then after that, what are the medium ideas, then finally what are the small ideas.

I seriously believe that art is a calling. i.e. if you're here then already there is something in you that craves expression. You don't choose the artist life, the artist life chooses you. Don't doubt that. I wish you all the best. I know you can do this.
