I feel like I'm not improving at all. It's really disheartening.

Are you sketching out the basic shapes first or just doing the lineart directly?

I don't really like colouring my stuff in. I really need to invest in a tablet.

Trying to fill my sketchbook so I did some demon warrior man

I see. I used to not color my drawings too, but when I do color them, I'm using pencils.

my typical process is

pencil the drawing
pencil again with thicker lead
finalise with castell black pen
colour with castell pen

i wanna try inking next

Might try and doodle some of the characters from my novel so I can visualize them better in my head.

Spoiler

This is significantly better than anything else you've drawn so far.

Thanks. I just bought the Uzumaki Naruto art book that has all these cool Kishimoto promotional pages and having reference images helps out a lot, especially with sizing and stuff like that. I'm in the process of doing another one right now.
