Your art is so perfect! Do you have any tips? I feel like I'm endlessly practicing, but Im not improving at all.

Here’s some stuff I generally try to do!

Don’t be afraid to exaggerate features. In my opinion, it helps you make sure you aren’t drawing the same face or body and makes your characters that much more interesting. Play with those proportions! When you’re in a slump, this helps you break out of doing the same-old-same-old and help you recognize things you don’t like more easily. (also helpful to start by making a big random shape and filling it in to ensure a cool silhouette!)

Try doing gestures! It will help build speed, help you recognize important shapes, and help you with recognizing your line of action in your art! Time them! Try limiting yourself to 3 minutes per pose and use reference for it!

Study your favorite artists! A few of my favorites are makaniadotdot, xfreischutz, jakewyattriot, epseelutely/shanenpae, and skoptsy! Try and break down what it is about their art you like and try to apply it your own. (ie: how they approach drawing base skeletons, how they use layer effects for shading, how they proportion faces, lineweight) Heck, some of them even do some tutorials and step-by-steps

If you feel stalled, try doing background studies. Sometimes loose color studies help to keep the creative juices flowing without necessarily feeling like you need to get it perfect. (I believe loish even suggests doing studies of classical paintings. Not necessarily going for a replica, but studying how painters would achieve coloring effects or how they would paint folds etc)
