I'm 19 but I feel like I draw like a 14-year-old. Here is a drawing I did of APH Switzerland (>inb4 Hetalia is for teens/nobody watches Hetalia anymore). I feel like his arms look unnatural. How can I improve my drawing?

By reading the sticky, practicing fundamentals and time.

You should learn proportions, figure, anatomy, folds/wrinkes/clothing, perspective and lighting, it's a long way to learn all these things, requires time, passion and so on.

This is pretty good op. Do you have a blog?

That's basically what your knowledge is lacking, if you learn proportions you'll know better the size of the parts of the body, figure will help you get used to the line of the body and stuff, anatomy will give you a deeper knowledge on everything, from face to feet, the perspective and lighting will make your drawing have depth and realism.

It's funny, but it's also called positive reinforcement, a compliment, a reward will reinforce a behavior, making it pleasurable, so the individual will keep on doing it, that along with giving the right steps to follow will lead to a more natural and healthy habit, that may one day lead to a happy good artist.
otherfag here btw

All his suggestions are relevant to your picture, you need to improve in everything. Consult the sticky, go to the beginner thread, stop using lined paper, the usual.

And the blog is someone asking for where you post your art, probably facetiously because he's been doing it every thread.

The problem is when you offer positive reinforcement for a bad habit and you reinforce him drawing like shit because he thinks he's doing fine.

Also positive reinforcement is just introducing a stimulus (it doesn't actually need to be a nice stimulus) to enforce a behaviour. If calling him shit makes him work to improve that is also positive reinforcement.

I understand that, that's why i said that if you make him/her work on improving, showing the right steps, but also reinforcing the habit to a point where there is no more need to do so is quite more rewarding.

btw, if he ever feel punished, he may not stop drawing, he may just stop showing his work to the specific punisher.

I propose what this man needs is a strong electric shock to be delivered every time he thinks of drawing on lined paper and posting it. A little conditioning would do him good.

LOL, that would be a good way to free us from shit posters
