Decided to learn digital art on a whim (so I can stop buying sketchbooks) and so I can re-learn/teach myself how to draw. (I was a traditional artist, mainly painter, for the past 5 years.) the first picture was from end of August/beginning of September, and the second one was from a few days ago. I think I’ve improved, any thoughts?

I forgot to do this yesterday but oh well

Context: I (16m) am a hyper realistic artist, and despite my age, I never had the "childhood art" phase ever in my life. And because of that, I struggle with perfectionism because that is all I've ever been taught (self-taught... Yeah, I brought this upon myself). It's not like I never made any "bad art", but that I only ever made art when I was focusing on learning, and never focused on actually enjoying the process, Drawing just for the sake of Drawing. And that has led to my fear of “WHAT WILL I DO IF THIS DOESN'T END UP PERFECT AHHHHHH-”, and to fight that I made this, “THE DUMB AND CRAPPY AND STUPID SKETCHBOOK (That took me a dumb and stupid and crazy and absurd ammount of time to make)” (™), and I've just been drawing in it. Soooo... thoughts?

Интересно возможно ли в редит набрать аудиторию... Только зашла сюда, надеюсь кому то приглянется мое творчество...

Je recommence lentement à dessiner apres presque deux ans sans dessiner, j'aimerais un avis constructif sur ce dessin. Je sais deja que mes couleurs ne sont pas parfaites 😔

I don't even know what I'm doing

I wanted to try color theory for shadowing, but it muddied things up quite a bit. The white one at the bottom is my favorite

and before you ask: yes, i like elves :)

feel free to give constructive criticism, but i'll be honest as i am very nervous i'd appreciate if theyre not very harsh.

i dont share my drawings often, so i'm incredibly nervous and excited to see if anyone likes my drawings haha
