I have been practicing anime drawing for over a tháng now and haven't improved much. How can I improve my drawing skills?

I've been practicing for a while but this is the best I can do. I've watched every tutorial video out there yet I still fail. The only thing I classify myself as good at drawing wise is the nose nothing else. Honest opinions should I give up cause I'm losing hope. I even wrote down every last detail for an anime hiển thị I want to make yet I can't really plan out the characters because of my god awful drawing skills. Help me please!

Keep practicing and don't keep putting yourself down, in all honesty a tháng isn't really that long when it comes to learning how to draw; it took Da Vinci 4 years to paint the Mona Lisa and he's a master. Since you've already been watching tutorials try picking up a book on anatomy, pay attention to size relations and how everything is connected. The flow of the head, neck, and shoulders etc.

If it helps, try tracing images, it's fine as long as bạn DON'T EVER CLAIM TRACED ART AS YOUR OWN, but it may help bạn get a feel for how things should work.

Do bạn think all in all the drawing is good and personally what do bạn like hoặc dislike. Honest opinions. I learn from anything bạn dislike about it

I think bạn did a pretty okay job on the face but bạn definetly need to work on your joints and anotomy like I suggested, get a book on it. (She's got wide shoulders, short arms, and long legs)

I practiced drawing for 3 years. 3 years and yet the best I can do is this. However, don't give up. Observe. Look around you. Look out of your window and sketch. If bạn can, get a model (e.g. your sister) to model posture for you. If bạn practice at least an giờ a day, I guarantee bạn that bạn will improve. My biggest regret in live was giving up drawing for 2 years when I was getting there. So don't. I don't want someone to follow my path.
It took my older sister 5 years of 3 hours per ngày drawing non-stop to get hàng đầu, đầu trang 8 among 2000 people in drawing.

Honestly, I dislike your overly long legs. Proportion the body ration. I hope that helps. ( ^ ^ )

I have been drawing for years growing up and did art classes in middle school and high school as well. But I have the hardest time drawing anime style. I've been practicing for a while and I have a hard time with proportions. I am much better at drawing realistic scenes hoặc being able to duplicate a photo. Drawing from your head is the hardest art bạn can do (in my opinion) and I'm just now trying to get better at that.

Try drawing something that is there.... a chair, a tree, a person... and then start drawing pictures already existing (just don't claim it as your own). I trace some anime hình ảnh to help me improve, just don't claim them as yours and give full credit to the original artist.

Then bạn can use those skills of drawing stuff that is there and apply it to your head images. Believe me, it's amazing how much your hand and will remember from practice. Just don't give up. From what I can see the head is pretty good, bạn just need to work on body proportions. After bạn get proportions down, then bạn can work on details and shading to bring it to life. Bad proportions will throw everything else off.

Practice...lots of practice.
Use light outlines 1st and start with basic shapes.
IT'S OK TO TRACE AT 1ST!! Not everyone can free-hand, and that's fine. I know several artists that started off tracing until they got the hang of what they're doing. Just make sure bạn only trace for the basic idea and make the rest your own.
Learn basic proportions, 2. here's a few universal ones (for realistic drawings)
With arms down, the fingers reach to hoặc just past the hips
The arms and the legs are actually about the same length. obviously it varies from person to person, but this is a general discussion.
The center of the shoulders is roughly the width of the hips, give hoặc take a bit. As such, it is the widest the main part of the body should be, minus arms and boobs for females.
Everyone's face is about the size of their hand. (Meaning with the bottom of the palm on the chin the tips of the fingers should be almost at the hair line with fingers spread. there should be about and inch hoặc 2 from your pinky to your ear)
hàng đầu, đầu trang of the ears line up with the eyebrows.
Where the ears connect to the head (on top) lines up with the corners of the eyes.
Earlobes hang to line up with the hàng đầu, đầu trang of the lips.
Everyone's eyes are exactly 1 eye apart.
Generally speaking, the end of the nostrils line up with the end of the eyebrows.
Everyone's earlobes line up with their nipples.
Everyone's feet are roughly the length from the elbow to the wrist.

Honestly. I think it's pretty good.



Just keep practicing and do your best. And don't put yourself down like that. You'll get better at it in no time. I just know it.
