Thank you for all the responses! Life and college has been getting in the way of practicing, but I feel like I've made a bit of progress. Here's my latest piece:


I think it's still missing something, but I'm not sure what. Planes? Better lighting? I would appreciate it if anyone can point me to a resource to help paint better, thank you in advance!

Hello, and thanks for your inputs!

First of all I'm trying out the 30-second (and some 3-minute/5-minute) face practices, and my weakness in building faces have reared it's head! I am rather lost as to how to construct the face itself, even with skulls. Any pointers would be appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for your responses, Polyvios and Sci Girl! I will try them and report back once I've done a few studies along with practices!

One thing I have trouble with during the 30-second face practices is constructing the face -- I'm rather lacking in anchors to build the entire expression with, and they oft end up rather lopsided. If anyone could point me to some resources that really help in strengthening how to build the face (or tips!) I would highly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

Good day!

I have been trying to seriously improve my art for a handful of years now, but I feel like I have hit a plateau where my muscle memory is ingrained with bad habits that I'm not really sure how to shake.

What can I do? What practices should I get into more? Whenever I try to draw, my lines, structure, angles, planes, and perspective feels off... I struggle with planes and constructing elements in a way that makes them feel volumetric and solid. I would appreciate some pointers and resources (and how to take advantage of them!) so I can finally be on the right path; I'm very lost on where to go next, and it sure feels like I've been beating around the bush for a while!

Thank you very, very much in advance!
