During the last few days, I've realized that drawing is much like playing guitar: you have to practice a lot and practice smart to get better. I always thought that it didn't really matter what I practiced when I grabbed a guitar to improve my chops but over time, with the help of a few teachers, I've realized that you have to be smart about what you practice and how, otherwise you'll always be stuck playing the same stuff over and over again.
Drawing is just like that, all my life I've done nothing but faces, mostly in front or profile poses and obviously, when I try something different, well, it doesn't work very well.... Same goes for action poses, it's always been so hard to get them right that I almost never practice them, it was no fun... of course, since I didn't practice that, I never got better at them so now I'm in the same place I was a few years ago, being fairly good at drawing certain things and awful at drawing some others. I need to try different things and do it almost daily, to get good at it before I can even attempt to do a complete story. Yesterday I tried a few expression and angles that I usually don't do and it was hard but a couple of them turned out ok. Check them out:
