    Wow, I didn't expect so many answers, thank you all so much for taking the time to do this! I will try to implement everything you have told me, although I will have to kick the bad habit of squeezing the pencil too hard and leaving everything too "dirty". But it is necessary, I see it now clearly.

    Pixeld, thank you very much for the recommendations. In principle I know and do not know the style I want to look for. I don't want a "pure" realism, and the more... comic format I love, but without going to something extreme as I can consider, for example, the manga style, from which I want to move away. Likewise, I think the anatomical basis for it is more than necessary for me. I'll keep an eye on the artists you mentioned, because I'm sure they're great, just like when I looked at Proko hahaha.

    Sokarads, thank you very, very much for that response. I'll try to apply the advice you give me, to see if I can improve my creation. Thanks in turn for the links, I'll take a close look at them and get as many as I can!

    Really, thank you very much to all of you, the drawing is very important for me and your advice and support encourage me a lot ^^ I hope I can continue showing you my evolution!

    Mmm hello, everyone. I've been around relatively little (a couple of weeks maybe?) but I've finally dared to open up to criticism despite the fear it generated in me, because, well, I need to improve and not feel like I'm not making any progress!

    I've been "drawing" seriously for a little over six months. I've always liked it, but I've never really tried to learn... until now, even if I have to do it on my own. So, I've been doing Croquis Cafe exercises almost every day since December of last year, until a few weeks ago when I came here and settled down more with this format. With it, every day I dedicated at least 20-30 minutes to it, extending in some (not many) up to two hours.

    I leave you some images so you can see some of the first ones I did, compared to the last session I did just a few minutes ago. Obviously, the ones that matter are the last ones, but I'd like you to see that step from the beginning. This is all on my own, so really, any advice is good, I want to progress more than anything else and I feel that I'm moving too slowly - thank you very much and sorry for the length of this!
