Do I?

Dont listen to this fucking retard, draw from reference. It's the only way you will learn. Mix in imagination drawing here and there but it should never be your primary drawing method until youve been drawing your whole life and you have a mental visual library of poses, characters and details just in your brain

I am 29. I have been drawing ever since I was a kid, but REALLY picked it up and started learning less then 3 years ago.
I basically went from close to nothing to this in 2.5 years with a lot of patience, practice, some guidance and weed.
Starting digital soon.

Looks great, keep it up and hone it to eventually do your original arts

That's pretty good, homes, I wish I could draw like that

Oof, then it's gonna be pretty hard for you but not impossible. Are you a wage cuck?

you can still make it, but you need to go to /ic/ - Artwork/Critique, you still seem to be symbol drawing in the faces a bit
not bad though man, you can do it

Thank you so much for the awesome comment, bro. That’s what all my artist friends and all the art professors I know told me, as well. I have spent a lot of time drawing faces out of my head and haven’t really improved much. I would call it lost time, but I have practiced my hand and lines so it helped me anyways. I will keep drawing from plain sight and from reference for a lot more time, until I am confident enough to do my own designs and concepts that I will love. Thanks for the support!

You have it user. But I suggest going digital.
Believe in the me who believes in THIS anime girl who believes in you.

Any original work?

Thank you bro, sure will! Now that I see that it’s finally going somewhere, I am pumped and more motivated than ever.
You can. Drawing is a skill, not a talent. I know because I could barely draw a straight line back when I started. Now I can do complete artworks in less than one hour, artworks that I am very satisfied with. If there is a will, there is a way. Even 20 minutes a day is gonna do wonders for ya further down the line.

I am starting an online school in a few mo ths and they will teach me digital drawing and 2D+3D. Thank you buddy, I sure will keep going!

>2.5 years
ouch... I've been studying for around 8 months now, and I draw way better than that... Have you been just drawing, and not using any study materials like books or video lectures?

>I draw way better than that
>doesn't post any examples
Zzzzzz

2.5 years with a full time job and a life to live. Post something, then boast. I don’t believe you. Drawing is hard and it takes years and years of continuous work to get somewhere.

only of you draw me like one of your french girls

senior concept artist here. It looks bad. And yeah, sure, you will get a job by copying stuff and making fanarts lulz. When I see a fanart in portfolio I instantly ignore applicants. I don't want copycats, I want people who have a vision.

Sure. Drew this just now, on a 10 min timer, using reference

by the way, I spit on people who think that being an artist in this industry is all rainbows and flowers and oooh you just draw pretty stuff. It's not like that.

All of your drawings are too sketchy which indicates a lack of confidence in your skills. I'm not sure how I'd phrase it, but most of your faces are really flat/lifeless. The character sheets with multiple faces on it really show it. You're enormously missing value on most pictures and are largely coloring your images in rather than creating fully "colored," images.

Most of what you've drawn is very stiff because they're copies - which is fine. But work on improving that.

The best thing you have in this image is the figure drawing 3 from the top near the middle where you cannot see the head. The worst is the woman's head 2 to the right or the samurai(?) 3 to the left.

I mean I guess it ain't bad, I can't draw for shit, but I also don't expect people to pay me to draw stick men. All I can give you is my honesty, its nothing I would pay for. Also, pretty much all of that are just existing characters, nothing original and I think you need some creativity to sell that stuff.

sure, looks nice

LMAO keep drawing bro
You're incredibly heavy handed, and you're still drawing symbols rather than form.
Grab yourself Michael Hampton's figure drawing book and study the shit out of it.
Also I don't see any perspective drawing, so grab "How to Draw" by Scott Robertson

Improve your sense of design by learning graphic design/form language early af. Also your drawings need to effectively communicate your idea, so I'd recommend a Vis-Com book, like product design or transportation design book

Keep grinding your technical foundations as well as your creative design problem solving skills and you'll improve much quicker than you are.

You should transfer immediately to digital art. All the skills you learned from drawing carry over plus you can now colour. All the companies who need artists get digital artists who also colour their own shit. You are only 29. Within 6 years if you are dedicated you can also be a decent painter. Dont want to discourage you but just drawing isn’t as good as painting if you want to get hired. Spend 70 bucks on a high sensitivity Huion drawing tablet from amazon and start learning to paint immediately.
