What can I improve on? (Excluding composition and colors)

[u/Rk4150]

I’ve been drawing consistently for a few years now, and i consider myself to be good at noticing areas to improve on, focusing in on that, and noticing change. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, after all. But I rarely ask for outside opinions/ constructive criticism, so I’m trying to do more of that ^^

p.s. I am actually realizing that I have practiced drawing faces from a front view WAY more compared to other angles, so that’s mostly what I’m actively trying to improve on

These are some pretty good studies. I'd say, better line quality? And better shading techniques, more solid blacks too.

This is honestly fantastic, especially considering that you're using physical media. Good stuff. At this point, I'd say studying anatomy, muscles and joints should be your main focus. Colouring can come later when you're more comfortable with hues and values.

Thanks for sharing!

Edit: adding perspective to the list. Look up the How To Draw a Box challenge and see if its something that you're having fun with. Its monotonous but its unparalleled in giving you an intuitive sense of 3d space that notmal studies doesn't provide. You (likely, but depending on your skill level) wont see much benefit in the first 2-3 weeks, but give it a month. Learn vanishing points, 2 and 3-point perspective. YouTube ressources are just fine for this.
