>>5137870Well, in terms of the position of the eyes the first one is more accurate and I'm seeing you are starting to block out the shapes. You just need to work on the placement for facial features. Just isolate and try to analyse what you gonna work on and just work on it. I think learning construction of the head to help you a lot. It *does* work. Get the loomis book or if videos and more your thing watch the Proko course on it.
Then come back to it and take your time. I feel like you're so concerned about getting good that you're not being mindful. Try to be in the moment when you are drawing.
Keep practicing and try to enjoy the process, rather than be myopically focused on the goal. I know you desperately want to draw from imagination, but it's going to take time. You've got to be prepared to deal with that, but the important thing to know is it's not impossible.
You will progress more clearly that way like artists that would draw in their childhood. They may look back at they art and cringe, but at the time they loved it. Like Artgerm says 'you need to love your art'. I know it's difficult but start trying to plan out ideas that you actually want to draw, study the references and then come back to it. It's when I actually tried to apply that to my own work, that's when it started to pay off.
