Hi! First of all english isn't my first language so if I have some typo, please forgive me
A couple of months ago I started taking drawing as a serious skill so I decided to improve my sketch abilities but I feel that I'm on the same level as when I started (I know that you can't be a professional with just a couple of months of taking drawing serious, of course not!) I feel that my problem is that I don't know if the way I'm doing the sketch is the right one.
1) In this draw I spend like four minutes and looks really simple, plus I feel that some proportions are not okay.
2) Then I draw this on ten minutes, it looks better than the first one for sure, but I spend more time doing it.
3) And last but not least I draw this in eighteen minutes and of course is better than the other ones but I use a different technique.
Okey, my problem is that in the draw number one I spend less time doing it and my technique was draw like a stick man with cylinders on the limbs. On the second one I use the same technique but I kind of draw the shape of the model and add some details. And in the last one I don't do the same, instead I just draw the shape of the model and add details, shadows bla bla bla; I spend a lot of time but it looks cool.
I think that the third one is not a sketch, but I improve my skills of drawing what I see, not what I think I see. The first one is a sketch and I feel that with this technique I can draw from my imagination but when I add the cylinders and the shape of the model like in the second image, the final draw looks nothing a like as the original picture.
In resume, how I am suppose to sketch? I don't feel like I'm improving because if I use the third technique I spend a lot of time doing it and I don't think that's an actually sketch, and if I use the first technique I spend less time but the final draw is a mess.
Help me please!
