this might be bait but maybe someone will learn. if you draw like this, it's classic turd polishing. it's okay to do that for fun. i'm happy you know what you like, you are passionate about it. don't stop doing this.

but in between fun drawings you also have to build your fundamentals. think of it like an athlete who goes to the gym to build his muscles so that he can be better at his sport.

im not gonna waste my time critiquing the anatomy in this sketch. there was no proportion measurement used. there was no perspective considered. no knowledge of anatomy.

if you want to improve, i think you should learn to draw cubes, cylinders pyramids, and spheres properly and in perspective. 1 2 and 3 point perspective. this is something you can practive anywhere with no references once you know what you're doing. you can do this in class, at work, on a train, at a cafe, whatever. set up vanishing points and just draw random 3d shapes.

check out peter han's youtube video and his book the dynamic bible. he breaks complicated things like animals and vehicles down iinto basic shapes. so you can focus on perspective and measuring proportion and getting symmetry right on simple shapes, and then building up detail on top of that.

when you get that down, you can work on shading them. you can do value studies. and you can use what you learn to draw stuff like cars, buildings, furniture, whatever.

then you can start learning to draw people. first basic stuff like loomis head proportion, then learn a mannequin. michael hampton is good.

just to learn the basics of drawing people.

then you can break into figure drawing, and focus on gesture so your poses aren't stiff.
then you can actually learn anatomy like bridgman.
