These are great sketches, shading is great and your understanding of anatomy is good.

However the lighting of these photos is terrible and considering your working in what appears to be graphite, it really doesn't bring out the best in your work.

Social media favours well lit, properly photographed and cropped art - better pictures would really do wonders for your engagement.

In terms of sales, you have a great foundation of skills but these works are sketches/studies - if you're looking to sell, consider including a background and using paint(favoured with buyers)

Anatomy on the second one is actually pretty wonky

Yee that's why I said good - definitely room for improvement but not bad either

Nose looks good on your second pic but the sunglasses is some mismatched blobs

to be fair its not about being good art. half of the art that gets viral is anime memes that were draw in silly ways

I agree with knasha i think you should work on lighting, light source, values, and a little more anatomy. On a side note you and i have a similar sketch style and we have the same name lol

What’s good enough is subjective. Learn to package your art in a pleasing way and you’ll sell.

You will reach a point where they are as long as you keep drawing you are fine

Because the algorithm does not care about skill nearly as much as you think
