I have been practicing animê drawing for over a mês now and haven't improved much. How can I improve my drawing skills?

Keep practicing and don't keep putting yourself down, in all honesty a mês isn't really that long when it comes to learning how to draw; it took Da Vinci 4 years to paint the Mona Lisa and he's a master. Since you've already been watching tutorials try picking up a book on anatomy, pay attention to size relations and how everything is connected. The flow of the head, neck, and shoulders etc.

If it helps, try tracing images, it's fine as long as you DON'T EVER CLAIM TRACED ART AS YOUR OWN, but it may help you get a feel for how things should work.

I practiced drawing for 3 years. 3 years and yet the best I can do is this. However, don't give up. Observe. Look around you. Look out of your window and sketch. If you can, get a model (e.g. your sister) to model posture for you. If you practice at least an hora a day, I guarantee you that you will improve. My biggest regret in live was giving up drawing for 2 years when I was getting there. So don't. I don't want someone to follow my path.
It took my older sister 5 years of 3 hours per dia drawing non-stop to get topo, início 8 among 2000 people in drawing.

I have been drawing for years growing up and did art classes in middle school and high school as well. But I have the hardest time drawing animê style. I've been practicing for a while and I have a hard time with proportions. I am much better at drawing realistic scenes or being able to duplicate a photo. Drawing from your head is the hardest art you can do (in my opinion) and I'm just now trying to get better at that.

Try drawing something that is there.... a chair, a tree, a person... and then start drawing pictures already existing (just don't claim it as your own). I trace some animê imagens to help me improve, just don't claim them as yours and give full credit to the original artist.

Then you can use those skills of drawing stuff that is there and apply it to your head images. Believe me, it's amazing how much your hand and will remember from practice. Just don't give up. From what I can see the head is pretty good, you just need to work on body proportions. After you get proportions down, then you can work on details and shading to bring it to life. Bad proportions will throw everything else off.

Practice...lots of practice.
Use light outlines 1st and start with basic shapes.
IT'S OK TO TRACE AT 1ST!! Not everyone can free-hand, and that's fine. I know several artists that started off tracing until they got the hang of what they're doing. Just make sure you only trace for the basic idea and make the rest your own.
Learn basic proportions, 2. here's a few universal ones (for realistic drawings)
With arms down, the fingers reach to or just past the hips
The arms and the legs are actually about the same length. obviously it varies from person to person, but this is a general discussion.
The center of the shoulders is roughly the width of the hips, give or take a bit. As such, it is the widest the main part of the body should be, minus arms and boobs for females.
Everyone's face is about the size of their hand. (Meaning with the bottom of the palm on the chin the tips of the fingers should be almost at the hair line with fingers spread. there should be about and inch or 2 from your pinky to your ear)
topo, início of the ears line up with the eyebrows.
Where the ears connect to the head (on top) lines up with the corners of the eyes.
Earlobes hang to line up with the topo, início of the lips.
Everyone's eyes are exactly 1 eye apart.
Generally speaking, the end of the nostrils line up with the end of the eyebrows.
Everyone's earlobes line up with their nipples.
Everyone's feet are roughly the length from the elbow to the wrist.

my advice:
-keep going at it,improvement comes with time and practice
-look at people and animais and use them for your improvement
-ask teachers and friends for help
-try books
keep going your doing good XD

I've been drawing since I was able to pick up a pencil, so all I have to say is keep drawing. Watch tutorials and learn.

Honestly. I think it's pretty good.



Just keep practicing and do your best. And don't put yourself down like that. You'll get better at it in no time. I just know it.

First off, if your truly amor drawing, keep drawing! You could also take a drawing class. I have been drawing for a super long time and I find we are our hardest critics! Don't give up hope!!
