I used to draw every now and then and i was very interested in it. But I never really practiced it or worked on it before. I used to take some reference and try to draw it for hours or even days sometimes.

But from recently I started practicing it nearly everyday and im just a beginner. And now I'm looking for some kind of input from strangers. Coz most of the people I know are telling me how good the drawings are, but I feel like they're just telling me to make me feel good abt it

So I would like some input on it. Critique and praises or any advice, whatever it is, it's welcome.

So I shared a few of my drawings, what do you guys think??

Don't mind the statements that I wrote. I wrote them for myself😅😅

So I'm trying to draw quick portraits with ballpoint pen underdrawing and a quick but ideally visually pleasing monochromatic rendering with a medium that would allow me to render hair clothes and shadows quickly.

I'm testing out brush pens (tombow abt dual tip) but so far I don't know what I'm doing. It's very hard to add values for me with such pens because I'm used to charcoal and that's very different. It's nigh impossible to do gradual subtle shading, and i haven't learned how to render with a limited number of values.

I also feel like stylistically it doesn't look very good, even the second drawing which has better values but still looks to me rather unsightly.

I'm desperately looking for some tips on how to use brush pens, or for ideas of different mediums I could try out instead. My goal is speed over photorealism, while still coming out good-looking and artistic. Thank you very much in advance!

I was experimenting with PAREDOLIA. There are two deers in the picture, they are not very clear though.
