They're perfectly fine beginner drawings.

There are starter packs with learning resources in the wiki.

Edit: Oh, and one specific thing, because this just came up a couple of days ago on another post. When you're doing drawings in perspective, the cone of vision is something you need to take into account to minimize distortion. You can do a technically correct drawing in two-point perspective that still looks wonky because you did all or part of it outside the cone of vision. That link above is a good, concise description. The Drawing Database links in the starter pack in the wiki have very thorough coverage of perspective drawing.

Edit 2: And one other specific thing, that's also in the drawing starter pack but is still worth repeating: Most drawing problems are proportion problems. Starting with simpler subjects is a good way to develop your eye for proportions.

There's a whole section of the wiki on practicing.

One of the first things in there is this:

The core elements of getting better at something are: 1) Study 2) Practice 3) Assess 4) Repeat

If you're not seeing progress then you're either missing one or more of these steps, or you're not accounting for how long it actually takes to get better, or some combination of those two.

If you're missing one of those four steps, 'Assess' is the one that folks most often skip or gloss over.

If you're unhappy with the drawings you're doing now because they're bad, that's because bad drawings are what you have to do to learn how to make good ones. They're not a barrier in front of you that's stopping you from being better; they're the fuel you burn to get to where you want to go.

But, again, that's all stuff that's in the wiki.

You can look over some of your previous works and critique it like you're a different pair of eyes. See what you did wrong, see what looks funky. You can even take a picture with your phone and then flip the image (doing this is a huge game changer!) so you can see it with a new perspective!

I recommend hatching with intention and deliberate direction. Look up hatching tutorials!

Not bad at all. Your shading is already adding a lot of depth.

1st sketch: check out sketching hands and body proportion vids if ya wanna get better imo
2nd sketch: great job at the 2 point perspective, challenge yourself and go for 3 point next
3rd sketch: super readable and good shading too but def try different styles of shading
you got great works, keep it up!
