This is why you are not improving.

You have to draw every single day. That is the fastest way to improve.

As much as I hate to say this, Jeph is entirely right.

The reason I hate saying this is not because I don't want Jeph to be right, but I'm a fucking lazy bastard and I don't always manage to convince myself to draw every day.

I like the face of the first one, the other ones do get a little cartoonish, unless thats what your going for.

what helped me improve was the advice of my mum's friend nelson boren (you might recognize his work, he does all those cowboy watercolors for billboards and stuff, http://www.snowgoosegallery.com/gwartis/bornel.htm). everytime i'd hang out with his daughter we'd visit his studio and he'd say, 'i come here at least once each day, and that's the secret. promise yourself to make at least one drawing every single day, and you'll start improving in no time'. now he's so good at his art that he was able to quit his job and make a living out of it! and trust me, he didn't start out that way...he's got loads of watercolors and portraits in his house that he made when he first started drawing and they look like crap! :D

once a month will do nothing. you need to start doing this EVERY SINGLE DAY. if you do this, i can promise you that within a few months, you'll see the difference ^_^

also, try taking a basic art course in college! it's amazing the simple tricks you can learn!
