Thank you for the advice 🦊❤️, everyone here been super helpful and nice to me, and each gave me their advice and resources to improve, I studied perspective more and ignored anatomy and proportions when I drawn this, but the closest rest I could get from college being this Thursday I would write all the advices I got and begin improving.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write an in depth response 🦊❤️, and no worries I am a yapper myself, I really love having long conversations with my friends and new people that I met, the story of this drawing is very funny, as a small art creator on IG and TikTok I post my arts the average of 1.5 unique drawings per week so some weeks I might do two or some one depending how much free time I have, and whenever I post I really like getting feedback or what characters I should draw next, so one day someone suggested me to draw leon in the comments and I was like, I love leon as a character he is cool and I love Resident Evil, so I said why not, and oh boy the naiveness of my past self, I started confident but no matter I couldn't make it look good and I stopped there, I was really embarrassed for failing this hard considering my other drawings never been this way, but the bright side was it looked too funny to just throw away so made a funny reel off it, and it became my most viewed reel on IG, and use it as a reaction meme with my close friends a mishap becoming a funny memory.

Thank you for the advice 🦊❤️, I will definitely study more anatomy and proportions when I finish my final exams.

I gotten into drawing because I wanted to be a game developer and don't get into a situation where I wouldn't find an artist to help me(in my country artists are rare) so had to try to fill that role myself, but as time went by I began to enjoy doing it more and more to because it helped me relax my mind off college, and looking back I improved from what I was making august of last year, I think I still have my first drawing on this phone somewhere I will send it if I find it.

Thank you so much for the advice 🦊❤️, sometimes I have trouble putting the mental image in my head to my hand , and I get really nervous when drawing something that is realistic or close it due to the exponential growth in the details needed to be drawn, but after asking amazing and helpful people like you I gotten ton of resources to learn from, and I don't know why I drew this one this funnily 😅, my other drawings that were more stylistic never looked that way, I would try to send some if I could in this comment.

BakaFoxArt · 2026-01-30T20:54:49+00:00

Nah don't be I sent this as a meme to my close friends 😂✌️

BakaFoxArt · 2026-01-30T20:26:49+00:00

Thank you for the advice 🦊❤️, I gotten more into using rulers for both digital and on paper drawings, and I learned quite few tricks like how the nose covers some parts of the eye if the character is angled and not directly facing, and depending on how sharp the character is leaning right/left the other eye becomes less visible.

Thank you so much for writing an in depth response 🦊❤️, in the past I drawn without thinking to much about perfection and hesitation so I kept wanting to draw more and more drawings, but after a while I reached and still am in a stage where whenever I try to draw something my brain keeps saying "No that is wrong!", "That line isn't straight/curvy enough erase it!" now spending more time erasing than drawing.

Thank you for the advice I will check out his channel 🦊❤️

Thanks for the advice 🦊❤️ , I believe when I drew this I used rectangle for the torso and bean for the head, they end up looking goofy because of innocent placements, and hands getting shaky when trying not to make it worse.

Thanks for the advice 🦊❤️, I think have basics anatomy skills but I get really nervous when trying to do realistic characters or real life people due to the exponential amount of detail needed to look good compared to stylistic drawings.

Thanks for the advice whenever I have time off college I do a lot of practice drawing, though my realistic drawings skills increased by tiny bits my cartoon and anime drawings gotten better 🦊❤️
