One of the painters who prepared me for the entrance exam into high school, when looking at my work, told me I already formed as an artist and I have to look to newer media (she mentioned z brush a lot) as well as online forums.
What sites do you use /ic/ that are more permanent than an anonymous forum and less cancerous than DA?
Here's some of my work, rip me a new one.

I always stuck to smaller formats, with this last one (wip) being on a 35cm long piece of paper

The bitch doesn't know shit. You are a beginner who should work on fundamentals such as composition, perspective, anatomy, hatching, lineweight and value. You can do all of that with cheap paper and pencil. Good luck.
3 and 4 look quite good in the thumbnail but the hatching texture looks way too messy and not in the deliberate raw way you were going for imo. I would advise you to try to nail the values with graphite or charcoal first since translatig values in pen can be quite hard. Also i would stay away from any kind of Backgrounds right now, learn how to draw labdscape and stuff seperately first before using them as noise and deformation like in the knight because it is just a mess and the characters look cleaner without it

I tried a bit a few years ago for mosaic class, still like water colors to this day, but that would require even more time invested.
Scenery is one of my weak points, no argument here.
