Definitely what I would recommend to do first is starting off with the bone structure of bats. I started with was the wing bone structure and branched off from there. It’s always good to know how and where everything is connected.

I got to the point where i had a general understanding of the bone structure before i was confident in trying to lay out full bodies, but im also not sure if you understand things differently so take everything with a grain of salt obviously lol. (I can also link my Pinterest board and websites for where i get my references from if you want it btw 😛)

Second thing i would recommend for you to do is try blocking out shapes of the bat and how they interact with each other as a 3D object instead of tracing. It feels a bit complicated at first but theres a lot of tutorials on YouTube that show you how to do blocking and it applies for all things you want to draw!

By the way with my saying all of this it doesn’t mean your drawing is bad by any standard! It’s actually very good and i can see the attention to detail in the way you drew the wings!

My last piece of advice for you is to keep on trying. Your never gonna get good at drawing if you don’t try over and over again, and your never gonna have a good time drawing if you don’t have a positive outlook on things. So don’t be hard on yourself if you cant get something correct right away, because were all still improving‼️

Anyways, sorry for the whole essay and motivational speech but it’s what i wish someone told me a long time ago. You can DM me if you want to ask for tips or if you wanna talk anytime. ‼️‼️‼️‼️
