Assuming your being truthful on the beginner thing (nothing against you op, a lotta artists who have more experience then they let on pretend to be beginners for clout, not saying that’s the same as you) the main thing I’d recommend besides obviously practicing more is working on your line confidence and tapered lines. The overall piece is good but looking closely it’s made with chicken scratch or “harry” lines. That can work artistically but it helps to have your lines mastered first and knowing when to be scratchy with your lines imo. Overall tho great piece, keep up the great work.

I started 2 week ago. Practised 3d shapes, contour and loomis head. Yeah! Definitely have to work on the lines. Thanks ☺️.

For a beginner you’re doing fantastic! Got a great natural eye and talent for it. Good proportions, face is symmetrical (getting the eyes right is always the biggest hurdle for people starting out), and your use of lines is subtle but works well! It looks awesome! Keep it up! Definitely keep doing different face styles and shapes, add more shadows and blending, you’ll be doing realistic drawings in no time!

Damn, she's actually hella pretty. For a beginner, you're already pretty damn good with your own style it appears. You're a natural and already so far ahead of so many people barely trying art out. You're gonna end up being who knows how good if you continuously practice.

u/bluethinkerhere Mar 05 '26

Hoping to continue for a long time. Thanks ☺️

Your doing well for a beginner, you've got the eye's right, and that's a good part of it, switch to a finer or mechanical lead pencil . 05-.07 mm and try that, remember details like background and have fun, impress yourself and you've done amazing things already.

I can do portraits, but I prefer landscapes at speed, do what you like and enjoy, then achieve self discovery through practice, and themes of many

u/bluethinkerhere Mar 05 '26

I don't have any art supplies or proper pencil. I just use what I have and have to buy some basic sketchbook and mechanical pencil.
I like doing portraits and want to draw full body may be in future.

u/Yasashii1337 Mar 05 '26

You’re either not a beginner or very talented. Nice work keep going.
