get better at drawing

I’m getting really into Deviant Art and I have gotten a lot better. Not as good as I want, but I am doing better.

this is basically what i can do. but i want to draw more and be better at it. maybe even paint, nah thats pushing it. sigh

I love drawing, sometimes doodling. i want to come up with something original. Before that I will have to become better at drawing. I want to learn how to the faces, and basically the anatomy of drawing. I only do designs and such, and after 6 years I have only improved a little bit. this sucks, and I was hoping that my career will deal with something i love to do most, but first i need to get better. But for some reason i either never have time to do it, i am not motivated, or just want to watch anime, read manga, instead. I need to find a way to improve.

id love to get better at painting and drawing. i absolutely love it. been doing it for years. any tips on how to make my drawings better? i did this one a few nights ago. i usually dont take much time one them, i find that when i do it looks wierd at the end. also, i work alot with charcoal and i cant figure out how to make it so that it doesn’t smear when im done. this one was done in pencil, and the finger tips got smudged. also- is there a way that anyone knows of to make hands appear more realistic?

Alright.
So.
Here’s my latest drawing.
I spent two hours on it last night, but I still don’t think it’s that good.
Tips?
Critique?
Anything?

Throw me a frickin’ bone here.

This is on my DeviantArt, too.

Go look at it there so you can see it a little bigger.
Peace.

Indeed.
I do love to draw.
I have my whole life.
I need to do it more, though.
I feel like I’m not good enough.
Or like somehow I’m not drawing enough.
So yeah.
I’m working on it.
I’m a self-proclaimed pencil artist and cartoonist.
I draw people.
Heads and faces are my specialty.
Mostly because they’re expressive.
And I like to draw things that are around me.

I’m okay at drawing, It’s just the faces that get me. it doesn’t matter how much I practice.

I decided not to get better at drawing.
Instead i’m going to make skins to satisfy
the right part of my brain.

I have been drawing for about… counts on fingers five years and I’ve slowly got better but now I’ve hit a point where I’m just doing the same thing over and over again; I’m got at faces, bad at bodies, terrible at backgrounds!

Yes. I haven’t been drawing lately, so I kind of suck.
