For 10 years I didn't get the proportions right, I didn't get much right at all. I just enjoyed drawing and did it casually.
Then at one point I asked a friend; do you think I'm good at drawing?
His answer was short and concise: No
I didn't ask him why I wasn't good, I didn't ask for any tips about improvement. I could've, he was a better artist than me. I could in all honesty already look at my own art, compare it to other art or reality if nothing else and tell what was wrong. So I just took that stinging feeling, went in on my own and started paying attention to what I was doing.
2 years of casual drawing later, but with increased awareness, I was a much improved artist. It could have gone much faster if I actually went in for it more than just casually.
Point is:
You don't really need tutorials, tips and critique, you have yourself, you have your eyes and the brain behind them. Use that shit.
