So i kept drawing but i have been trying something different than portraits these last days because of time. Normally in order to draw portraits i need a quite place and time and i have been lacking both so i tryed some "game art". TBH i just drew some shit that i would like to see in a 2D platform game using history as reference, well i mostly copied the drawings and added some tiny things, i hope that after absorb some of that style i can come with my own designs.

some portraits attempts.

Nice to see you want to be good . Copying is always a good idea, if you say where you copied it from. I suggest you study Andrew Loomis, Burne Hogarth, James Gurney, and classical oil painters, try to see how they solve forms and color without the use of texture.

Draw everyday and forget about the eraser, mistakes are part of learning, you can't expect to be ultra good at the beginning
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

+1 this.

Loomis is the fucking MAN, George Bridgman and Burne Hogarth are more advanced / stylized / particular / technical versions of THE MAN. I've done two loomis books cover - to - cover, and made it most of the way through a Hogarth. The Loomis books are a lot more fun to go through, but you learn a lil' more complex stuff from the other two.

On a more serious note, I feel like you already developed your own style, very plastic.
