Sometimes at my free time ( when the Internet connection is down ofc ) I draw some pictures of my favourite league champions. Did you like it :possible Please go easily on me I am only 13 years old. This is the link https://mobile.twitter.com/malek_tabbabi/status/952933725527990273/photo/2

Cåracal1 votesThey're pretty good, but you should try incorporating your own style or something unique into them... Other wise they just seem traced :>

Agreed. You should learn anatomy 'n stuff and then develop your own style, or if you don't want to get too far with drawing just draw but not the exact pose as in the picture. It's okay to have references, but don't draw the exact poses as on the splashart. Btw use stockman figures to make posing easier first, then draw the character around it.
Cåracal2 votesYeah, thanks for explaining what I was trying to say better for me lmao. Also maybe try studying some ways to draw hair, shadowing, etc if you really want to progress, and keep practicing.
Here's one of my favorite artists on Youtube that does some really good tutorial just as an example, she has a few more that may be helpful if you want to see some tutorials.

Evenias1 votesAt first, I thought you traced over the original art. But after comparing your drawings with the originals, I think you "eyeballed" the art and then tried to imitate it? Eyeballing is a good way to start trying to draw, and you do have the right idea going on. Nothing looks really out-of-place although some parts can be proportionately better.
I miiiiight sound a bit like a black sheep compared to the earlier comments, but I say trying to precisely imitate the original splash art is a-okay at your stage. Learning anatomy and how to shade and developing your personal style are excellent topics for anyone, of course, but so is learning how to measure your subject with your eyes. Measure the width of your subject's arm compared to their head, identify how dark the shading is in their hair compared to their skin, etc. Some artists produce drawings that look exactly identical to photographs and that's fine so long as they give credit where credit's due. They learn about their subject in great depth. Measuring the original art will offer you insight about how it's composed.
That's just my two cents though. You can definitely just follow what the others were saying earlier about learning anatomy and trying new poses and such. Anatomy's always a good place to begin.
Hope you can learn a bit from this thread, Malek.

Cåracal1 votesYou have a really good point there and what you're saying is really good, if you don't mind me giving my thoughts and adding to what I already commented because you reminded me. Reference is always really great (What you're kind of getting at I think?) and I'm not world class artist (Trust me, its a dumpster fire lmao) but it definitely helps most of the time, but when I'm drawing and I like It will usually influence what I draw next, and I used to look back at those drawings while drawing, but no longer do. I found that it made me more inclined to pretty much copy it and after time made it hard for me to be more creative which I'm slowly fixing. So while references are good to look at to study anatomy and such as you said, I just suggest trying to stray from it and not look at the reference as much as you look at examples of anatomy sketches for those are a lot easier to look at and not copy always I've found. That's just my experience though, take it with a grain of salt, hope what I said helped and made sense.
