How can I make it better

I've been drawing seriously for a week now, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it at all. My lines are really wobbly/scratchy even though I practice them every day. Also, I'm kinda struggling with perspective and proportions. The two Naruto drawings were made with reference, while the girl wasn't. I draw full bodies every once in a while, but they're so bad I'm too embarassed to post them here lol

Hi, so I've begun to attempt drawing once more, using Ibis Paint X and my finger. The problem? My drawings look like they're made by a middle schooler. So, how do I improve my drawing (to save my fragile ego)? In the attached drawing, I used no reference. I can't afford a drawing pad/pen.

I draw on paper with a Black Ink, it usually takes me 20-25 minutes to draw a chest-up portrait without a sketch, I usually experiment on using anime art styles like Bleach, JoJo Season 2 and JJK though none of them seem fit for me and I am a little confused on how people find an art style that they are comfortable with without having their hands ACHING every five minutes😭

I think the proportions are a bit off (he is a dwark btw), also I don't like the lights. I use Krita and I still can't find a good brush

I want to start drawing seriously. The only thing I did is the first 2 lessons of drawabox, do you have some recommendations on where should I go on? And, just to be clear, I don't mean something like "you should learn how to use x technique" or "study perspective"; what I mean is, is there a course, a youtube channel, a book that you would recommend a newbie to follow to learn how to improve?

This is my first post and admittedly sharing is hard, cause I always feel like I could be better. Does that feeling ever go away? Or will I always feel like everything is subpar?

I get to this point everytime but after this I don't know what to do😭, I just ruin the drawing everything, can anyone give me tips on how to proceed after this point

(I know it's still not perfect, tips would be appreciated)

I don't want to make it hyper realistic, I want to proceed in a semi realistic style

Anyone got a "routine" they like to use for when they practice forms? Id like to figure out structure and the feel of poses before I try and start adding details.

I tried to account for perspective when molding my forms back, I also tried shading for the first time, it sucked but I tried.

Having a try at shadows. It's tricky.

Also I did not think the line weight through, that didn't help 😬 a few pics of the process.

Idk but i feel like this looks a little weird? Not really happy with the castle it looks too messi to me and the place where the person sits looks imo, I just started with drawing so feel free to point out anything else off you notice.

The Deidara(head and chest) one is like 4 yrs before today and the Qin Xi Huang (Bandanna) one is almost a year before today and the Hououin Kyouma (lab coat, in the field) is a few days before today.

How much did I improve? And how much could I've improved? And btw, I still haven't learned many things like perspective, environmental drawing, compositioning, lighting,etc. basically, I'm a self-taught artist (learned from YouTube, if you can call this self-taught)

No reference used. She’s supposed to be a vampire, and I’d like her to look a little creepier? She just sort of looks like a generic anime character right now.

Graphite on paper.

Size: A4, based on a photographic reference.

The pictures are the of same portrait under different types of light. I had saved the photograph last year and finally decided to finish the portrait.

Been drawing here and there but just haven’t been posting, focusing on construction more to simplify my bodies to make drawing them easier.

1st is reference, 2nd is my fourth attempt!

Sometimes drawing comes easy to me I see it in my head and I know I can draw that, like this one where 14 people on Discord watched me draw it. Maybe no one saw the comments on my last post, eh it’s whatever. The truth is I try to draw everyday, and have since I got my IPad, and downloaded Procreate, I draw on Lives on TikTok, I guest Draw a lot on peoples Discords. Sometimes when I draw lll post the ton of edits to sketches most of the time I’ll post the last one and my outlines and color, where I commit to my outlines and color pallet. I’ve been artistic my whole life all 60 years of it, and it carried over when I bought my first PC in 1990 and mouse drew in paint and haven’t stopped drawing on it, I make vector art for people all the time and have for over 21 years as a Screen Printer/ Sign maker. My style comes from everything I learned growing up, my warriors are from the pictures I seen and redrew in D&D and Dragon magazine, my dynamic poses are learned from Drawing The Marvel Way book, all my art is in the books Ive read, it’s from all my art teachers, from my high school for letting me skip all my study halls to go in the art room to paint draw or sculpt, its in every sketch every mural everything I put out there and everyday I put pen and ink, pencil and paper, IPencil to IPad or squeegee to screen I’m learning to draw or learning to do art.

Looking for some insights into how I might help out an 11 year old who wants to be able to draw from imagination, but seems to have trouble with not turning all volumes into symbols. For example, we’ve made great progress in drawing a cube, but when I turn the cube at a different angle, he still draws it the same way: with an edge centered in the picture plane.

Is there anything that might have helped you out when you were 11, or things that help you out now? He’s fairly skilled for his age, but I want to help him with visualization/turning forms in his mind, as this is vital to drawing from imagination.

Recently, I’ve taken to drawing on our “volumes” and asking “if this marked area was sliced off of this solid volume, what does the resulting volume look like?” He was able to suss out what the remnant volumes look like, but no matter what he always draws a cube/rectangular prism with an edge centered. No matter how I turn the volume, he does this.

Any insights? Anything helps, from “this is nonsense” all the way to “cubes are fundamentally incomprehensible as a 3D object”. Thanks!

I've been drawing in the community for a good while now, and I was actually wondering... Do you think it'd be a good idea to start teaching art? Would you guys be open to taking some classes?
