I've been grinding 5 hours a day for the past year. Everyone is saying i'm making loads of improvement but I starting to suspect that they are bullshitting me. Be honest /ic/

This one I drew recently,

I drew this a year ago.

looks way more confident, but ultimately it's like you never left your comfort zone.

Still all sketchy, try drawing more finished pic in the next year bud, you improved a bit.

Pick up a piece you completed from a year ago, then compare it by redrawing it completely on a new sheet.

try sketching it lightly with pencil and make propler line work with pen

I love the sketchiness of this, but get a moleskin and work on that arm. Love the feet!

You've definitely gotten better, but not by much.

5 hours is great, and you got the dedication/passion for it, that alone will take you places. That's what's most important. You just need proper guidance.

Are you drawing from ref? If not, you should definitely start. When starting out is when you should most be observing from the real world, and replicating it.

Also, are you following any studies? Books?

I certainly recommend you pick up Scott Rob's book "How to Draw" and download the complementary video, and start working that. Master perspective and you'll definitely go places.

After that, you wanna start doing gesture/Anatomy. Hampton and Vilpuu are your boys for that.

Gimme a bit, and I'll post some images in a bit that serve as decent learning guides.

Drop the sketchy work, and especially drop the stylized painting, and do things properly. That's the hard part.

Complete pieces down to clean lines. It'd do you good to completely drop the stylized painting and learn to really paint, too.

That's massive overkill unless op is very interested in vehicle design

Deal is, learning to do vehicles gives you such a solid grasp of perspective, that it really tightens up your figure drawing, and polishes your ability to draw figures in perspective.

Imo, perspective should always be step 1. It's the most technical, but solid perspective opens a lot of doors, a lot more than any other fundie.
