WATCHING MORE STUFF!
Ok, so recently I have been watching a lot of YouTube video howtos, speed drawings and advise videos, as I was recommended to do by several people.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED:
1) I watched a video where an artist explained how she realized how her drawings aren't consistent and how she wanted to have her own style, something that expressed her personally. I found this could relate to me a lot. So I didn't go searching exactly, but tried to observe what caught my eye and what didn't... Basically, I found I love realistic drawing, that are incomplete:

Ex2: http://serenitystyles.deviantart.com/art/15-minute-sketch-so-dont-hate-407369507
Ex3: http://serenitystyles.deviantart.com/art/Drew-this-during-history-class-427264716
I find these more fascinating than fully realistic and complete drawings because this looks more like a drawing, not like a photograph, gives it a unique and artistic flair, I think. But I also love complete drawings:

I feel this shows more talent but not quite as much creativeness. So basically I like drawing people, and always prefer realistic, even if the reality is warped slightly to add artistic flair such as drawing Morgana, a fallen angle, where she is obviously more than just human, or something small like leaving a small part of the face unfinished or sketched in.
2) Tutorials: Simple drawings about how to draw hair or eyes or other human features and I have been learning to apply this by drawing random people, just for fun, with no reference, and I find it quite a challenge, and I think it has helped me a lot with my drawing skills.
3) Speed Drawings: Really these speed drawings have mostly helped me by giving me ideas and helping me learn angels, highlights, proportioning, and shading at the highest artist levels. I find these videos very usefully in their own unique way, while being entertaining.
From all of this, I mean to say, I am trying to be the best artist I can be, and with your help and my efforts I can help other people with art and do the best art I can and share it with you guys!
