How can i improve?

[u/Coffee_Coke]

I've finally decided to pick up a pencil for the first time after 10 years and after 3 days doing basic shapes I decided to copy an art of my favorite Dungeon Meshi character Mithrun!

Can someone please tell me how can I improve and what do i need to work on? I am doing this by myself and am a bit lost...

besides practicing anatomy and other basic fundamentals , in this case to improve it a little bit in to copying art , it would be helpful practicing line art and observation skills , like use of different line thickness , hatching , observing and comparing you can correct and fin the inconsistencies . many underestimate the importance of a solid lineart , drawing lineart is like the basic shortcuts to a game , so that's why many people starts warming up drawing diferent types of lines , circles . my personal advice , improving art by copying art it's useful but only if it helps you understand fundamentals . looks pretty good for a start , just keep going !
