One day I'll be beautiful, 10 months since starting my little hobby, piece by piece.

I will. My next piece won't have highlights that look like splooge, hopefully. It's in the notes for next time.

I see some improvement. Although in my opinion a lot of it looks traced. Tracing is fine if you're brand new though, since you get to see the contours of the body up close that you'd usually not see upon first glance. For now I would work on values and poses :) keep going anon!

Yep, it's mostly tracing :). I've found that if I do something on paper, I can kind of visualize what it might look like traced, so in my way I'm sort of "burning in" that shapes to see them more naturally on the page. Thanks for the tip!

I thought this one was nice, but the shading and anatomy sucks ass. Please work on the shading, just look up some tutorials on how to do it. And for the anatomy just look up human references, or drawings from other people, anime drawings tend to be inaccurate to human anatomy. They'll have long skinny fingers instead of meaty rounded fingers like humans do, so there's that to consider.

Interesting. The body is traced directly from a real image. Are you saying that a more unrealistic anatomy (i.e anime style) would be better suited? I think I get ya.

Your tracing and rendering doesn't capture the real forms, especially the subtler turns like valley of the ass or the belly as it turns into the floor. It's not that your reference is bad it's that you don't know how to express it in 2D.

That was both horrible and cringe worthy at the same time.

Either you're incarcerated or deranged, regardless pick a better subject. Whatever sexual frustration you're working out it should stay private. You are never going to get a faithful critique if it looks like you're showing some pervert obsession

The drawings themselves lack structure of any design sense. You should first develop basic drawing skills, focusing on the quality of your lines.

Omit using color for now, and primarily aim at rendering form in the best possible way-- not something of your best effort but something that looks worthy of admiration

stop tracing, stop drawing exclusively porn. Tracing isnt helping you at all, any percieved growth from tracing is the result of mileage.
