Hi!! So I just starting drawing literally yesterday and discovered I kind of don’t suck at it. Everything I’ve drawn thus far has been from reference, if I don’t have a reference I suddenly have the skill of a preschooler. I’m just lost on where to go from here. I’m not really sure how to practice it to get better. Any tips on what I’ve got so far?

I made this drawing and I’m pleased with it, anyone got any advice on improving it or my style altogether?

I'm really good at copying others works and changing it, but I've realized that I've almost never drawn from my own imagination. What makes it harder is that I have aphantasia. So does it still count as my art of I didn't blatantly copy it?

yo yo yo!!!! i'm trying to enhance my skills before an upcoming queer craft night in my area, so i'd love to practice by doing some half-assed alcohol marker portraits! send a selfie and I will do my best to draw u 😄 if u have any color scheme requests, pls let me know! it'll help lol

(btw the last face, which is also my fave, was based on my son denji <3 ily denji hayakawa)
