/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Absolute /beg/ looking for advice, originally meant to post in this thread. Here's my history with art. Will post drawing timeline in next post.

>(October, November?) 2012, age 11; first dabble in art is copying a frame of Ataru Moroboshi from Urusei Yatsura episode 2. Lines when drawing after rough and concrete.
>(March 2013, age 11; Older brother introduces me to Macromedia Flash 8 and guides me through the basic process of animation; he helps me make a test cartoon of a stick figure being decapitated by a bird.
>Dabble with Flash once more to make shitty 2 second "animations" (basic shapes, frantic lines) and upload them to Newgrounds, only for the submissions to get immediately BLAMed.
>From early 2013 to May 2014, I would occasionally draw characters from anime I had seen due to the fun of creations derived from things I enjoyed.
>Passion wanes, drawing stops.
>December 2016, age 15: Start watching Miss Dynamite on Newgrounds and eventually find a timelapse video of the creator, Sirkowski, sketching the characters Eva and Blackie in Photoshop, showing him start with the basic shape outlines, using references for a gun in the illustration and eventually completing the final image.
>Think the process is cool, passion for drawing is rejuvenated
>2017 rolls around, consider starting to draw as a New Years Resolution; doesn't happen.
>Like the idea of drawing but don't act upon it, focuses creative energy on video editing shitposts
>August 7, 2018, age 16: desire to draw kicks in once more after finding /loomis/ on 8ch, download the resource folder full of tutorials, books, etc.
>September 2018; consider starting the Draw A Box exercises, don't start
>February 2019, age 17; Copying other anime artists pictures and try apply basic construction ("just draw simple shapes lmao," no lines needed to indicate where ball is facing) to these drawings.

Here's my history with art. Will post drawing timeline as well.
Full text for a single post is too long, so I'll try cramming it all with two or three posts.
