I feel like I just lost all ability to draw. 🫩 Ever since school started it’s like when I sit down I don’t know where to start. I went ahead and did this last night and ended up hating it. Sorry Howl

Hello everyone just sharing some posters I drew in different styles which one do your prefer 1 or 2 (Pls vote in comment section)

I don’t know how to blend the colors and shadows at all and I feel the shadows are too hard or stiff I’m unsure how to describe it.
If you have any tips please help!

If you have any unrelated tips please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m at a level where nothing said can be too harsh (evidently).

I've been continuosly drawing anime character faces for a couple of weeks because I hated how much different they are each time. But even after all this time i still cant draw them consistently. The difference is even greater when i try to draw them from different angles

This is my best work yet

I don’t know how to improve, and have considered quitting at times (or at least taking a break)

I’ve been drawing for around a year or two and I’ve made some progress since I started I think but I just feel like Im not yet good enough to make anything “good” or at least something I think is cool. Pretty much everything I’ve drawn has been these kinds of figure drawings and almost all of them are from reference. I feel like I know nothing bro.

Even if I am able to somewhat accurately copy a reference, I just feel like it doesn’t matter if I don’t know what I’m looking at and I’m just copying it line for line.

I feel like the only reason I’ve drawn for as long as I have is just the mindset of “be ok with being bad” which has been a pretty useful mindset for me most times, but sometimes improving feels impossible when I just know nothing. Especially when I see people who have been drawing for less time than I have and are literally three times better than me. Don’t get me wrong I love appreciating other people’s art, but there’s always the part of me inside that’s like “there’s literally no way I’d be able to draw something like that, how the frick do they do this.” And it’s so discouraging. I’m also just have such low motivation do draw a lot of times, and drawing for me recently really feels like kind of a burden.

If anybody has anything to say that might help with anything at all I’d really appreciate it, or if anyone just has similar experiences to share. Thank guys :]

This an assignment my professor assigned us. What do you think? Any advice or critique?

Trying to learn anatomy and get more confident in my sketches and my foundations before actually diving deep into making the illustrations I want to make-- and to do this, I've started doing a daily sketch where I try to breakdown and recreate poses I find on the internet.

I tried this challenge before, and got burnt out in the 200s, but I don't think I was doing it as seriously before, and by the end of it, I wasn't putting in nearly as much effort as I should've.

Currently on Day 26, and hopefully it only gets better from here. Hopefully I'll still be at it so I can post again by the time I hit Day 40 lol

I'm trying to find pose references for this particular camera angle but couldn't find much. High camera looking down directly at the character, very close to the face, with the character staring directly at the camera. Any ideas?

New artist. An homage to one my favourite scenes from Kill Bill.

the first piece doesn't have a specific light source direction, i just wanted to test out a messy rendering style ! at first i was already thinking about what i should do next time i try this rendering style again and was a bit detached as always, but i kind of started to like it yet i also feel detached at the same time

i made a recent post on never being satisfied with any of my work which i got some great advice on that i will work on,, but since school is starting again my progress will be slow, considering ive already stopped doing art for ~2 years until a few months ago.

i realised i get enjoyment from doing the process of anything creative, etc bracelet making, crafting. but i'm strangely detached to the finished piece. i mean i can still tell which pieces are stronger technically, but still no feelings come.

oddly enough when i started to take art more seriously start of this year, i could appreciate what i draw. now i cant. same went with bracelet and keychains i made, never liked them, yet people genuinely thought they were pretty and bought them.

i understand that it's normal for artists to not always like their work. but is it common to just be detached from my work, even when i enjoyed the process?

to clarify: by enjoy i also mean i get excited about finishing the piece and stay dedicated to finishing it (not that i want to get it over and done with). and i only get like this with pieces i know will turn out well

edit: in cooking and bracelet making, i continue even if the outcome is uncertain

This is the most challenging drawing i have done, as Iam still new to drawing.

I think this is because of a lot of foreshortening. At first that made me draw much worse shape, but then i utilized negative space much more and it became like the picture which is much better. But I know it is still far from perfect, so feel free to give feedback!

Repost because I want to get some feedback. Art and reference included.

This started as a sort of study on perspective and even though it wasn't perfect I decided to go in with colors just to see what it would look like. It came out better than I expected, but I know that a lot could still be improved. I want to go back in and add more details but I want to know what I could do to make it better before I do that.

I know the sky is a little too dark. The lights could be brighter, even though I don't know how to project that brightness in that color without it looking off or too bright. The trees in the back could be darker. The perspective is a little off. Is there anything I'm missing? How would you make it better?

I’m getting into the habit of using 3D shapes which has really helped me improve.

Did a redraw of an old artwork I made in 2019 :D

They're not meant to be copied to the exact line, I find them more as a way to test yourself and find a way to draw it in your own way. It'll take multiple tries but eventually you'll find the exact shapes and lines to draw em in your own way.

So I kinda feel like the eyes are very flat and I’ve tried erasing and redoing the shading but I feel like nothing worked Any tips would be realllyyy appreciated

Hey guys! I'm struggling with drawing the face on my drawing. The reference is pretty tricky, the mouth seems like the biggest problem for me. I'm trying to focus on shades but it's super difficult. My proportions could be better but I think the general face shape is decent, so it shouldn't be the reason why I can't get it right. I made a sketch with a pencil, but failed so many times I had to redraw the whole thing. Now I've already fully painted it with watercolor, face is the only thing left. I tried like 3 times but I fear if I mess up one more time the pencil will leave a stain (it already kinda did lol). helpppp

Found some reference of pinterest and tried to re-draw it with some small personal tweaks. Will add to this page day by day and try to be consistent when I can push myself too 😃(💔)

Also forgive me for the debatable colouring, I mostly used to stick to grey, charcoal and pen... 🐢

P.S. last drawing is not mine but the ref!

note: Rough sketch, Begginer. Yes i draw slightly different to make it easier or harder depending on the region.

Loved doing these
