More from Pepper
So finally got motivated to get a scrap book, and learn to draw myself after a few motivational speeches.
First attempt: OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!! Yea I felt like total crap drawing that.
Second attempt: After that monstrosity, I have to say I learned a lot from that and felt like I improved a bit.
Third attempt: I wanted to give up, it was so frustrating and I had to correct it many times. But I was happy enough with that to leave it alone and try a new one tomorrow.
Regardless of my noobness and lack of skill. I was surprised I was able to even draw that, I was able to barely do a decent stick figure before I started to learn. *Dizzie's artistic skill has leveled up to 3* Victory theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YCN-a0NsNk
I know I still have a loooooonng way to go. But hoping I can improve every day.

Posting practice things like this takes a lot of courage! Nice~
Something I find that helps is to draw directly from another existing image that you do like. Obviously you can't post it like you can with this sort of thing, but purely as practice, it's a great learning tool- afterwards you can scan your drawing and overlay them in photoshop and see any specific mistakes you made that you weren't aware of, so you know what to focus on for the next time!
It looks like you're having the most trouble with the eyes, though- try not to do detail on them until you've got them in exactly the right size and location- it's much easier to erase and redraw a single lightly drawn shape than one you've done a lot of detail on!
I know an issue I always have is that the first drawings never look like I want them to- forcing yourself to do more drawings after being unhappy with the first is a great practice to get into!
Keep it up! <3
