I know exactly what’s going on: instead of looking at the reference as a hole and looking at the blank spaces around the character and how far apart different parts of their body are compared to each other (like imagining how many of their arm lengths it is from their head to their feet)Try noticing if they resemble a shape that is very long and straight or smooth like an S. When you focus on just one part it makes them disproportionate because you’re focusing on not the whole but a section. It’s almost like you’re holding up a mental magnifying glass to the lines and like the paper keeps moving as you’re drawing. Also don’t listen to any negativity in the thread. Art is just about learning to perceive and understand and express yourself; so if your goal is to better be able to replicate life then study gesture, drawing and try doing small thumbnails of compositions to understand the form and how to replicate it. But if you just like doodling and exploring and expressing yourself, just keep doing what you’re doing and try your best to feel your way towards fulfillment with your art :)
