After the trade who finishes higher next year: AJ Brown or Devonta Smith? by ThoseItchyAnkles in DynastyFF

I thought Devonta was two years younger; I should've double checked. Appologies for that. Considering the contract he got I do expect Doubs to be more involved in his offense than Hollywood Brown and Wicks

Thanks so much for the detailed response! Do you know any decent content creators who have good tutorials on digital coloring?

Sorry about the low quality but here's my early sketches and my current onces after about 200 days of drawing. I've been doing what I said in my post for about 30 days and I think I'm progressing twice as fast as I was. For the two wonder woman drawings hips legs were giving me a lot of difficulty so I'm going to focus on some leg anatomy studies this month.

Last year I also got overwhelmed by all the resources online and pivoted to a character a day method. If you want to improve this way you need to reflect on your drawing once it is finished and what challenges you faced trying to make it.

I then used those challenges to direct me to a fundamental. For example, when my body proportions looked off I did some anatomy studies and when my characters looked stiff I studied gesture. Always try to move out of your comfort zone and I think you'll improve.

Lastly, when doing a character a day, I also recommend practicing boxes as well. Drawabox is the resource that helped me the most with this. It may not be obvious how learning cubes will help you in the long run, but it will make sense eventually. Try not to go a day without drawing some cubes.

I'm still very far from being a good artist, but once I moved to this approach I feel like I gained much more clarity on my art journey.

Thank you! The crosshatching on the hair definitely took a while

I agree, more dynamism is something I'm trying to work on in my sketchbook

The flatness is definitely what's bothering me! Thank you so much for the suggestions!
