>State your reasons.
It just looks nice. The lines look confident, especially on the bag, and there's a good feeling of weight as well. The guy is pretty well-done too. Obviously it's nothing professional by any means, but the hands look fine and you're showing an understanding of the planes of the head. Tighten some of your skills up and introduce some nice rendering or lineweight and these will look really good.
>Research, advice and replies would agree on observational drawing being the first thing to be developed, art for the sake of art, such as drawing from imagination and stylization come after, trajectory of artists would seem to agree.
Example, Picasso
Observational drawing is nice to have but it can be a bit of a dead-end for a lot of people. Drawing from imagination and stylization shouldn't be something you leave for the end, it should be something you practice as well unless you're really deadset on photo-realistic studies of the human body. Things like making use of interesting shapes, lineweight, shading, and various other things that make a drawing look "good" all fall under stylization. Even in a very realistic drawing of a human figure stylization will come into play. It'll come in play a lot, actually. That's the whole essence of gesture theory after all, making good use of straights and curves, etc.

I really do feel bad kind of encouraging posts like these that really take up the thread and drown out other discussion, but I feel like I have to because you're obviously improving. So let that conflict within me be proof that I'm not pulling your leg when I say your drawings look fine. Just keep practicing.

I wish to someday reach a point where I am passionate enough about what I do to die doing it

just learn from both, what could go wrong? :)

IF YOU ARE A /BEG/INNER IN ART, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the /draw/thread with our fundamental exercises.

Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, or you literally are never going to make it
