It's kind of fascinating to me that there are a lot of beginner artists with your kind of mindset. They do this all the time when judging manga or comic book artists too. They look at some slightly wonky anatomy or weird face and then call the artist shit while ignoring everything else in the image, no matter how well done and impressive the rest may be. Just look at those guns in that drawing as a perfect example. Even considering the photo is blurry and low-res you can see so much believable detail and accuracy there. Could it be that because you have never attempted to draw guns yourself but only faces and figures, the only thing you can appreciate is what you have attempted yourself? That's one of the possible explanations I can think of.

It's the Toriyama phenomenon. Every wannabe artist who just started studying anatomy will tell you how shit Akira Toriyama is at drawing, while being completely blind to the incredible level of skill and draftmanship with which he draws virtually everything else.
