bro you need to learn hatching techiniques and line weight ASAP like right now like what are you waiting bro your shit is good i feel the SOUL and the fun that you had drawing it. Learn those things, do it at your pace, you can be as slow as you want, but do it, it will greatly improve the appeal of your drawings.
I recommend you try other, hardness, in your pencils, if you are using a classic HB pen, you can try others like a B, or B2, you will feel it more "soft" in the strokes, you can fill space more easy, but also if you want to go more black, you can go further than an regular HB, that will give you more range of values more easy, so the darker blacks are gonna pop up more your works, specially in the lines.';

Just practice lots of jaws.

In this example, you over exaggerated the eyewells, eyes are much too large and position wrong, nose is wrong. So you'd either fix eyes/nose or you'd have to change the jaws and mouth to match them.

You need to shorten your grind time. You will burn out extremely fast if you take 2.5 hours for something like that. That should take 20 minutes. Stop getting distracted.

Good start. Make sure to finish your faces so that you can see what is out of balance on them. For instance, that eye is way too large, and it's the main reason you weren't able to finish a jaw that looks normal and were forced to chicken scratch it.

you can self critique by overlaying your drawing against the ref

'>>7154418
Gave drawing the elf a shot. You can watch me struggle trying to match the big anime eye art style for awhile. Not great, can definitely be improved.

You're very early on your art path for sure, but the definite answer to your question depends on if you give up or not. If you give up, you're not going to make it. If you don't, you'll get there.

The biggest advice I can give is try to see the 3D shapes even in an anime art style. Try to understand how the elf's face is constructed.

In my timelapse you can see me alter the position of the nose because the Dungeon Meshi art style, or at the very least the reference I was using had the nose further ahead to give this impression of 3D shape and contours of the face. The Dungeon Meshi artist seems to always push the nose further out than your usual anime face at certain angles, I think that's what gives the series it's look.

You're doing a quite a bit of symbol drawing instead of creating the impression of a 3D object/face. Try not to think about each facial feature as separate objects to draw, but think of the face as an entire object in itself.

Faces in a 3/4th's view are never going to be the same exact width and shape. The perspective and angle is going to warp one of the eyes. This same principle applies to the nose. While in the art style it's super stylized it's constructed against the face in a way that gives that impression of 3D space. Observe why the nose bridge connects to the eyebrows the way it does. Likewise, the mouth should follow the shape of the face.

Keep at it. I would just redraw Marcille multiple times. If you're getting frustrated just take a break for awhile and try again.';

I think I have a weak grasp of lines of action, anything I attempt ends up looking incoherent which to my understanding lines of action are meant to prevent. How would you establish the lines of action?';

fellow beglet here, so take this with a cavern of salt.
line of action is meant to convey the "energy" of a pose in the simplest way. since the figure is sitting and balling up, we aren't really seeing movement or high energy, but rather stability and maybe confinement. picrel is just my attempt.';

a lot of anons can probably unlock extra daily energy by getting fitter but that eats into drawing time so ymmv immediately, highly recommend for everyone for long-term whole-life gains anyway';

'>>7155471
It basically comes down to style - there are some general ideas like putting thicker lines on the side of the character that is in shadow, on thicker parts of the body, to emphasize some body part overlaps and so on. But in the end you need to choose things you want to put attention on and stick with it. Hell, there are even people who use lines with same thickness over the whole drawing on purpose and make it work.';

'>>7155179
pls respond';

'>>7155593
Yes, because being a true artist means constant grinding for years, losing any love or passion for craft, hating your work 24/7, while malding from the fact your previously faved artists are having an easier lives.

Everything else like having fun and supporting friends is not allowed, and only leads to coddeling';

I'm really close to mastering accurate proportions and copying from references. Magenta outline is the correct way to draw this reference.

I'm not sure if I should move on to another fundamental of drawing to improve on, or just continue learning to copy other reference images and at different positions.';
