Trying to improve
8 years ago
Every time I sit down to draw I always have that conversation in my mind,
"I need to improve my art."
"okay, what needs improving?"
"dunno, but it can be better"
"I know that, but what do I focus on"
"beats me"
"..."
"... well look at other artists and see what your art is lacking"
"that is a very broad look at improvement, and doesn't specify aspects that I'm lacking. Everyone's style is different, along with their methods and techniques; looking at some amazing piece to compare my own to doesn't tell me where my art needs improving, just shows that I'm not at that level yet"
"So you admit that your art sucks?"
"As subjective of a thought that is, I can't say my art is perfect; it's always needing improvement, that's life."
"Still means yours needs improvement"
"Okay but WHERE?!"
"dunno but it still could be better"
...I can't tell if I've been too long a shut-in to find having a mental conversation with myself truly pathetic or not, but I know my art is lacking something.
However, I can't seem to isolate the varying problems to address and improve upon.
What do you guys think? Do you guys see any common issues my art is lacking, or things they need to be better?

2.) Your hair looks a bit odd. Pieces of hair don't connect or look off from other parts. It's hard for me to explain, I'd have to show you. It's not bad, just stands out
3.) Anatomy is good but slightly inconsistent. Legs are very think and arms are toothpicks while thighs are large. Not every image has this but it's a feature I notice often
Sorry I don't have any real advice for you, but hope you're able to work through it.
