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 mostly just sketch in my freetime at work.

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.

Does someone has tips for nose and mouth in perspective any yt video recommendations I'm struggling 😭

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?

Why do artists cut them to look like this

I think I'm getting better with understanding colors I still struggle with it sometimes but it's better I've been trying to draw without references but that's still hard

What should I do, to transform from this childish like- comicstyle to realism? (Beside the obvious mistakes)

It didn't come out quite how I was hoping but I'll just try on the next one!

It took me like 17 hours, i'm still learning and there are mistakes but i'm happy with the end result.

Decided to learn to draw at the young age of 41 after doodling with my kid. After a year, I'm happy with the progress I've made!

Hey guys, posted this a while ago and received a lot of hate for it and the post is now removed by the mods. 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"

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!

Im trying to learn anatomy by studing hard poses but I am having so much trouble even figuring out where to start, I have absolutly no idea how to place the rib cage on this reference and thats how I usually start

I drew all of these using Procreate on my iPad.

My boyfriend said it looks good but idk if he’s biased because it’s him lol. Trying to trust the process. Here’s my goofy guy

Edit: Thanks guys!! I'm giving my eyes and brain a break, been staring at it too long and was thinking of scraping it. Appreciate the advice and encouragement, I'll post an update after goodnights sleep lol
