I drew these and was quite proud when I did, but in hindsight I just dont feel like my drawing quality is anywhere near professional level. I draw every day and have for a bit over 3 years and yet my drawings feel like they totally lack impact despite my hald decent draftsmanship.

Any advice to make my stuff feel more like kim jung gi or even just more punchy? Im getting new ink brushes today so that might help slap more contrast in there but tbh great artists are great with or without tools like that.

Edit:

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your encouraging words. I seem to have noticed some commonalities between your suggestions. In no particular order 1.Linework:confidence, deeper shadows, control (less lines) 2.proportions (keeping whole scale of picture, particularly anatomy in relation to that) 3.shading/shadow work. Though i tend not to use very many shadows in my work, incorporating them is definitely an opportunity for growth so I will be doing that.

I am on my way to the cafe now with the brush pens to see if i can make some magic happen!

Thanks!!🫂❤️

I am shading with a mechanical pencil. My shading feels veey unrealistic and muddy to me

Please give me any advice you can provide, i am inclined to think its my technique because i have quite shaky hands but still theres definitely more issues than that going on.
