So I first would suggest learn the Loomis method and basic facial construction. I’m not sure if the reference is a stylized photo/drawing but it’s important to learn the basics. And with learning the proportions, and facial construction how to shade will Naturally follow. “with some effort towards study obviously” so honestly my advice is simple anatomy study’s

Memory drawing. - Portraits - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

This is a memory drawing from a reference, observe and draw it from memory. I would guess that I need advice on proportion and shading more than anything else right now. I have the main reference but the "upload option" will not allow me to upload both the main one and my drawing at the same time. Wish i could also upload the main reference to give a better idea. thanks in advance.

Crimson Peak couture design

I have the absolute hardest time figuring out fabric folds and shading. This was drawn using the Procreate app, with the reference being the previous attempt using washi tape, paper, and pencil. I’m working on digitizing all my designs but I keep getting stuck on shading

Silly dragon

I'm at that awkward moment of my art journey where I feel like I've been stuck on the same level for years. I'm still struggling with a) making my pieces feel less flat despite shadows and light/color, and b) there's always something about my shapes that makes characters look... awkwardly stiff even though their pose is dynamic in theory? I wish I could draw my characters' proportions and shapes more freely (thinking: Nicholas Kole or Nicola Saviori type of energy); color work needs improvement too, but also holy moly I really need some tips on what to do to move from that dead zone of skill because I've been trying to move on for 2+ years now and it's harder to not get irritated with every single day.

Just a bit of cleaning and texturing. Tried to keep the process as simple as I could.

This pencil drawing was done in 2020. At the time, I was in high school and couldn't draw as well as I do now. I've always been self-taught, but I still struggle with some things. A clear example is the difficulty of drawing clean lines and slightly more three-dimensional shapes. However, I'm learning gradually.

Multiple Rounding using the Projection Technique

I have practiced single rounding and multiple rounding for some time now, but I can't figure out how to use the projection technique on multiple rounding. When the rounding part using the projection technique comes, I get completely confused. I don't know if I am allowed to ask for feedback on exercises besides artwork, but I have been really struggling with this for quite some time now.

I need help with how to make the drawing interesting..I haven't finished drawing the flowers yet 🥲 crits on anatomy is welcomed too!!
