Rules for comments:
Remember the person. We are people from all over the world, of many ages, languages, cultures, and educational backgrounds who all want to improve our art. Sometimes miscommunication happens, just be cool.
Give constructive feedback, including examples of what works or doesn’t work. “I like the use of color” or “the legs are too short” are much more helpful than “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”
Be civil. Jokes at another person’s expense, personal attacks, flaming, derailing threads, name-calling, trolling, and generally being an asshole will get you banned.
Rules for posting:
Include images. Include your own work if you have a specific question so that you get clear feedback. Include reference images if used.
Group multiple drawings into one post. Multiple posts made in a short time period will be removed as spam. Post multiple images as a gallery or as multiple links in one text post.
Keep it on-topic. Extremely long personal posts, questions requiring medical expertise, or anything that cannot be reasonably addressed by art learners about making art will be removed.
Unhelpful tutorials will be removed. This includes videos and pages lacking clear instruction, speedpaints, timelapses, and anything with significant amounts of misinformation.
Spam will be removed, including posts of the same art content across many subreddits without a reasonable attempt at engaging with the /r/learnart community.

I'm pretty happy with it. But what could I improve?
I started using charcoal pencils about 6 months ago but never got any blending stumps so I've been using them like dark pencils instead of like charcoal. I got some proper blending stumps recently, so I'm practicing how to use it in my drawings.
I appreciate any feedback and advice, especially on how to improve my shading or blending.

Still life by me. Charcoal on paper. What do you think about it? Critique is welcome

[Critique Request] Anime Head Rotation
I used the Loomis method, but since I'm drawing a female character I decided to reduce the angle of the ramus bone.
I'm trying to learn how to draw with the drawing style of the reference, you'll notice that the reference face is quite small and that's why the face in my sketch is also small.
I numbered the drawings from 1 to 9 to make it easier to identify and point out errors.
The artist who drew the reference is @/CHuNtwRX93

I'm struggling with dividing a cylinder in 4 parts. I don't understand why it is not lining up to the minor and major axis in the example.
Here is what I'm referring to: https://imgur.com/a/qxwDlyT
Hello! I was watching Proko and some doubts on perspective came up. I already finished Drawabox but I still struggle with cylinders and ellipses. This was a lesson on how to simplify the pelvis. I am confused because the center of the ellipse is not lining up with the minor axis, wasn't it supposed to align? I don't understand how to get the angles for dividing the ellipse in 4. In my head, it should be aligning to the minor and major axis. Can somebody help me?

Haven’t learned how to draw a human head
Today I tried to draw a head from a random video. The final result only confirmed that I need to focus on studying human figure and head drawing. I’m quite disappointed.

How do artists erase the lines in sketches, but leave the drawing intact?
So basically, I really just began drawing with the intent of improving (I suck, wich had me frustrated through my childhood, so I never really practiced, which in turn makes it so I suck even more now at 18). I'm having a lot of fun going throgh the basics, but now that I advanced a little, I'm seeing some drawing tutorials to learn techniques and anatomy. That's when I happened to see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFaMpCDam0M where this guy is teaching how to draw a cat and he suddenly erases only the lines that were sketches. It may be ignorant of me to ask, but I never really had any lessons or practice, so I wonder is that because he pressed harder or erased lightly or maybe a specific pencil?
