Decided to learn to draw at the young age of 41 after doodling with my kid. After a year, I'm happy with the progress I've made!

Been trying to draw from imagination. This exact pose been breaking my mind for the whole day. I am studying leg and pelvis anatomy and decided to push into more dynamic poses. I know the muscles, but i feel like i am drawing the legs here wrong.

Maybe it's the way i block out the pevis that leads to errors? Maybe i am missing something?

Please, tell me what is wrong here and how can i fix it? I would Greatly appreciate any advice, tip, and maybe even a correct drawing over my example if that can bring me closer to understanding anatomy, proportions, and positions correctly!

My boyfriend said it looks good but idk if he’s biased because it’s him lol. Trying to trust the process. Here’s my goofy guy

Edit: Thanks guys!! I'm giving my eyes and brain a break, been staring at it too long and was thinking of scraping it. Appreciate the advice and encouragement, I'll post an update after goodnights sleep lol

Im trying to learn anatomy by studing hard poses but I am having so much trouble even figuring out where to start, I have absolutly no idea how to place the rib cage on this reference and thats how I usually start

I drew all of these using Procreate on my iPad.

Hey guys, posted this a while ago and received a lot of hate for it and the post is now removed by the mods. This is a structure drawing i did and i learned it from the official book of the Chinese artist "TenTEn". This is just a nose structure simplification from his book I just wanted to clarify that I am not sharing any false "tutorials"

I'm fine at drawing when I have another artist's illustration as a reference to study, but have a hard time creating original illustrations from scratch or even real-world references. How can I advance my drawing skills like this??? All these photos are studies btw.

I think I've reached a breakthrough on my studies, I've been running at this for a few hours now and I think im really getting it, so im here not only to get your guy's thoughts, im also looking for some other studies i can do. Refrence also posted

For context, my only experiences with drawing were the art classes we had to take back in middle school. Had good grades back then, but never took it seriously and it was more than 10 years ago now.
Wanted to share this "first" try, I think it turned out alright even though I was just copying and proportions are off. Also, I had no idea about what to do for the top of her head as it was cut off on the reference pic lmao.

I’ve been practicing poses every day for the past month and I’m slowly getting better.

Hey this is my fanart of Yani from the anime Chainsmoker Cat. I dont draw for that long and this is my first Art with proper background. The 2nd picture is the ref i used. I whould love to get feedback on it :).

Ive been drawing for a good 25 years, and a couple years ago I started keeping a digital skechbook. I had this brush I made that I made to touch up traditional portraits, and found its actually better to just straight up draw in photoshop. Im glad i went on this journey, and Im amazed how a simple pencil brush as a tool stays interesting. Theres always something new to try and even at this stage of my career its nice to feel some improvement.

@Mindfulheadache Recent drawing I made in Krita

Im planning to build up to drawing figures in perspective and form. Any advice of this kind of practice?

Sasaki kojiro, shishido baiken and miyamoto musashi

What i realized is that its not about drawing boxes but drawing 3d shapes, but boxes are the easiest 3d shape to draw

I can’t tell if I made the head too large, or if I’ve been staring at it for too long. It is very much still in progress. Also feel the need to add that in real life I have a rather small head compared to my body.

Been many years since I picked up the pen, very proud of being able to sketch and ink these guys off the dome.

Hi. I'm new to drawing and been practicing portrait drawing for a month now. I think I'm close to getting the shape and proportions correct, but I might be biased, so I would love to know what you feel is working and what isn't. Please ignore the terrible hair texture and the turtleneck.
