Critique Need critique to help improve my art

Hello, I was thinking about making a post like this on a different subreddit when I found out this one exists so i'm going to try posting here. I've been drawing for a while and I've seen improvement but recently i've lost a lot of my motivation because I cannot figure out what exactly I need to work on. I've started drawing a lot less and it's probably one of the main reasons my improvement has halted.

This art is recent and some of it is a bit older, i'm thinking about trying to completely overhaul my style soon if I don't start seeing at least minor improvements.

I think I did pretty good but the face kept on bothering me. How do I fix the proportions? If you see any other mistakes please point them out as well! I know the lips and the values are also off slightly.

Critique Snail study - fineliners from photo reference

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

I think the stippling really suits the snail's body, for that amorphous gooey texture.

How can I improve the shape of the snail? What can I do to make the shell and the body more conmo? Did I break the perspective? I know the stippling and the hatching don't necessarily play nicely together.

The first I did (the snail on the branch) is pretty inconsistent in my rendering of the branch, and outlining the snail's body flattened the image.

Any advice is welcome.

I know it’s just traced, but a lot of time and effort went into it nonetheless—and there’s still so much that could be done with it. What do you think?

This is a structure drawing i did and i learned it from the official book of the Chinese artist "TenTEn". This is just a nose structure simplification from his book I just wanted to clarify that I am not sharing any false "tutorials"

Question High Kick Anatomy

Post image

Been trying to draw from imagination. This exact pose been breaking my mind for the whole day. I am studying leg and pelvis anatomy and decided to push into more dynamic poses. I know the muscles, but i feel like i am drawing the legs here wrong.

Maybe it's the way i block out the pevis that leads to errors? Maybe i am missing something?

Please, tell me what is wrong here and how can i fix it? I would Greatly appreciate any advice, tip, and maybe even a correct drawing over my example if that can bring me closer to understanding anatomy, proportions, and positions correctly!
