tips for a fellow artist please
so i wanna expand my skills in art and i lack fundamentals (totally not cuz i spent my time drawing faces bc they were cooler) and proportions for realism, i do well with anime but ugh...irl noses scare me.... i began practicing but idk if i'm doing it right, rn i'm drawing muscles and abs in the bodies of men nd women but it doesn't feel like i'm learning something new...just feels like i'm replicating lines and strokes. i tried doing gesture drawings for a better grip at the expression of the body and anatomy but they always look stiff and improper and don't align with my reference pic....is there any way to improve more for my art to look more professional? it feels like i've been stuck at the same pace after a certain point...
