I'd just like to say that I enjoy your drawings, like the Telena drawing! Really detailed fur!
I looked at your first pictures in this thread and then the latter pages and I can see you've already done really well to begin with! You obviously have a knack for humanoid drawings! I love the details, especially with the fur (never really had the patience with hair and skin to be honest
). One thing I would say is don't be afraid of adding large contrasts, it will make your characters stand out in three dimensions. I know I myself can be very scared of adding too dark strokes when I draw- but it can also be liberating to experiment with how to make your drawing really 'pop'!
Being bored can be a great joy when you draw, to relieve boredom and feel you're doing something productive with your time. Trust me, if you continue on with drawing what you draw now (and you really love struggling with what you draw) and ask around for advice from people who's art you appreciate you're level of skill will begin increasing exponentially.
I started out, just like you, wanting to show what I could do (I was also longing for that nice wizard's hat every developer has) and personal recognition. I was the most critical of my work to begin with but this community proved excellent for building up self-confidence and self-assurance (I hope it still is, haha
). I'd advice you to seize the opportunity that this community once provided me
You've got the craft down, elaborate on your craft and improve on every drawing you make.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of you
