Okay, so not too long ago, I started uploading my art. I have made a few drawings of my OC, Dashing Thunder. However…There was a little problem.
 
My art is absolutely terrible.
 
I keep wondering what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t seem to find what I’m doing wrong.
 
If anyone has any suggestions/tips for me, please let me know.

Remember what Lauren Faust said; everyone has a thousand shitty drawings in them, and the only way to get to a point where you can draw like you want to is to get those 1000 shitty drawings out of your system,
 
One drawing a day for 3 years, and you’ll be there.
 
Get drawing, and don’t stop.

I will. And I think that 3 years is more than enough time to get better. Thank you! u
 
The very first step besides building up muscle memory to be able to consistently perform good freehand circles and ellipses is to learn how to use construction and subsequently be able to visualise your drawings in a 3D space. Your current drawings lack any sort of real form to them that looks good. Take the time to look up tutorials on how to draw if you need it, because you’re very unlikely to learn a skill if you don’t know what to do.
 
Besides that, I think that your eyes are far too elliptical in shape and are a bit small.
