If you can't draw eyes, don't?

If you can't draw eyes, don't?

The eyes didn't look the way i wanted it to, so i just left them empty. Would appreciate some tips.

idk if preserve is the right word but basically i don't have my past works. These notes are the oldest drawings i made that i could find ,these are probably around 4 years old ig? And the cat is my most recent drawing , i really regret not keeping everything from the start of my drawing journey. I never got committed to a sketchbook so i have some "old" sketchbooks with a drawing on first page and left all empty. Most of my works were just on random papers here and there , never collected them and now i regret it. On top of that I don't have my drawings from the start of my digital art journey either, i draw on my phone with my finger. My last phone had everything in it but then i broke it, while repairing everything had to be removed. I didn't post them on anything or did i have any backup but insta stories so all i have is low resolution screenshots of my stories.

From now on i plan to backup everything and make physical copies of my drawing make a collection out of them and also try to build a portfolio. I am really sad that i don't have a bunch of artwork to look back on and think about how far i came from but I'm still hopeful that ill keep on making more from now on and be more mindful about keeping them secure.

Just wanted to know how you guys keep your drawings safe, do you have sketchbooks? or a social media acc you post it on ? or a portfolio?
