need advice 🙏

I wanna see if my art skill is acceptable compared to my age.

Hint: this might be an easier one to work out if you're Australian.

The first photo is my first painting when I started painting in May last year. (Before last year, most of my artistic background is that I used to draw a lot of cartoons when I was a kid.) The second one is a painting I finished yesterday. Honestly, I think the main difference is that I use more color lol also, idk why but reddit dulls my photos 🤦🏻‍♀️

Made this sketch while working today. Heavily based on this ref I found on Pinterest. It was simple enough to base mine off the ref image in my head rather than constantly looking at it.

When does something like this no longer become "a reference" and become "mine"? Im not really privy to art etiquette but it would feel wrong to post it as something *I* drew. Does this make sense?

hi:) im not sure what im hoping to get out of this but i only just started drawing like this month?
im wondering if this counts as ‘art’ or qualifies as a drawing even or if its just a doodle?
is the face drawn properly? are the features right? can you tell what the other bits are? does it invoke any feelings?
the person in the drawing is based off an actual persons photo. i also don’t think its done yet, ig im just wondering if its (objectively) nice or not? & if this means i sorta kinda know how to draw? ive never considered myself someone who could draw but ive never really tried beyond sporadic doodling so… help? lol

I think I’ve made huge steps but I would really love to hear what you guys think! I’m getting better at shading I think! :D

sorry about not crediting the artist. but I have no idea who the artist is.

i used kleki.com and my finger on my computer

Just an art of my OC Lili Leben. I feel good about it, though I am not that confident with my layers so I always took really long to just draw one of these.

I was working on this pretty late at night and I colored it liked it and then thought oh shouldn’t the hat shade the entire area under it and I feel like I just ruined the face completely. All I have is alchohol markers and colored pencils is there a way I could fix it?

a friend of mines son had surgery and this is his favourite character (can’t lie i can’t remember his name) but i had so much fun drawing it!!!

I'm still having trouble controlling the watercolor; it tends to clump together and sometimes turns muddy, but I've seen improvements over the past few days. .....On this occasion I present to you a bittersweet memory from my childhood watching television, a short cartoon that I rediscovered in my adulthood and which made a lot of sense to me with its firm, tender and acidic criticism.Thank you for giving me this space to express myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXyNYG_jG7g

I think I did good :3

Any tips or tricks for coloring/shading or anything at all would be very helpful!

Thank you so much!

Took me too long to finally post this. I started making it when Juren came out and procrastinated it for soo long. Let's see if yall can point out the easter egg on this one.
