Did you try drawing?
>>
All I know is that asking an incredibly vague question without providing any of your work or insight into your process is an excellent start to solving this problem.

I never thought this while actually playing Ruina but is Roland kinda cute??
Why does he look slightly girlish to me now? Did he always have that soft little red blush on his portraits?

You're an anime poster which likely means you're black or brown which means your IQ is too low for your art to actually improve

That's not true, low IQ can art, but it needs to be the ONLY thing they're doing. Unfortunately the Internet exists so all of their cognition is taken up by ticktock memes and ass shaking Instagram videos, there's nothing left for leaning anything, let alone art.

i guess the way is start is to
>draw a figure standing best as you can
>look at the parts that suck
>study them
>redraw the figure OR draw another but aim to correct your mistakes
go on and on like that. i'm /beg/ too but i'm trying to actually complete a picture and i find the above method has already helped me a lot. it's scary though, to try and do that (complete something) when you're /beg/ because it's sloppy. but make enough slop and try to never create slop with each piece going forward and you'll hit kino eventually

my goal is to draw cool dudes doing cool things
i am reading the loomis book, perspective and some anatomy basics as well but my drawings still FUCKING SUCKS
>>
>>7866318
just keep at it brah u dont get better insrantly. and loomis doesnt work for everyone so like if ur sure u js arent grasping it move on to another book. and take a break from studying to draw something u like even if shittily so u dont get bored n give up

Try xiao weichun book exercises afterwards, watch actual artists like eo58 people that actually construct and solve their drawings in real time are super helpful. Join a canvas, join a community, get humiliated and get good. Don't join /ic/ canvas though, no one constructs there, it's full of blue haired retards that draw with memory, that will never ever help you.

Good luck retard.

apply what you read to studies of real life. Those stick figures, anatomy breakdowns, etc.? Look at a real person and draw with those in mind
