I decided to try a little harder at really learning, and not just trying to get better without methodology. One of the first steps is some upside down image copying, because its easier to disassociate from what you think the image should look like (or something like that). Its not perfect, but its always better than you think itll be when youre doing it. It also forces me to take it slow, which I often have trouble doing. I have another one (besides the starter one), but Im a bit iffy on posting it. I might do a few more of these types of things while waiting for drawing materials to come in.

Sorry to post twice in a row. I would say my previous one was a success in upside down copying, or close enough, but this one was relatively a failure. Its true in this instance I wasnt copying a line drawing, but I dont think that matters too much. I started from the legs, and I think problems really began at the arms. You can tell the left shoulder (my left) might be a bit too far away. I guess this is where disassociation (or lack of) of the mind and previous knowledge comes into play.
The head might actually be the worst bit, because I leaned into the fact I had made a mistake with the arm. The right hand is weird in part because of the messed up arms. Honestly, the legs look short too, but the character is short and the shot is actually at a bit of an angle. So perhaps my mistakes were really just from a lack of carefulness, and were ever present. Gives me something to think about while I wait for my new stuff.
Damn dude you're drawings are good! Probably better than mine too. Theres something about the style that draws me in. Good work.
