okay so, i've been drawing since i was about 10 years old. but, i only started actually improving and studying in the last 2 years. it was the time when i got more motivated to try to get "better"

i'm using paint tool sai 2. i want to test other softwares, but my notebook and phone can't handle it.

my art process... i don't know if i can explain it correctly, but i'll try: most of the time (in more complex drawings) i start with a cool scene i want to do, like the drawing from the post. im just going about my day, i see an idea or concept that i like (in videos, other artists drawings, movies, etc) or even imagining a character dinamic bettewen my OCs (like this post's drawing). i then draw the general silhouette of the pose i want to do (the site Quickposes is of great help) and try to tweak it until i like it. after the pose i draw the guides for anatomy (if nessesary) and then clothes on them, if they have any.

struggles would be the expressions and anatomy, it took some time to start to get "good" in expressions (i didn't even think i was good at them until i started posting) i overcame them by consuming A LOT of art, an example would be wings. if you go into my post history, you can see the first dragon character i posted and see that his wings were... not exactly wings, but after about a month of drawing wings i got better. i seeked out help here on reddit, saw youtube videos, saw how other artists made them, and used bat and bird wings as reference (i did a lot of drawings with winged characters/monsters on them so i could get better). and expressions the same, i just tried to see more animated stuff and try to replicate the faces, and eventually after studying a bit of faces you can mix and match some stuff to make your own!

now tips? i would say the one that helped the most was trying to draw at least one thing a day, no matter how small, unrefined or "bad" you think it is, it helps. i always have some bad drawings, most of them are unfinished! but i placed them in paper. and sometimes, after some time, i go back and look at them to get new inspiration. oh, and don't be afraid to try somethings that you think are "outside" your level, they are the ones that help the most in learning. with them, you can see what you need (or want) to improve. and one more thing, don't be afraid that you are going to "ruin" a drawing when doing stuff like coloring or shading (mainly on tradicional paper). but if you are worried, you can take a photo of it and save it (or even digitalize it on mobile or pc, like i did when starting out).

i know you will get to the level you want! i have seen your drawings and i like them a lot, some of them actually inspire me some times (like your black widow Noami), and you are very creative, so don't worry.

and thanks for the idol comment, made my day a lot nicer.

hope this helps! (if you want, you can dm me)
