I'm too much for you to take in
Last but not least, the last drawing I did for StrixiART! Her boy Cain is the heir to a family full of secrets, and you could also say he's full of himself as well hahaha
Can't blame him, though; he's much more than you could ever desire to be.

Hello, sorry for the late reply! My art tips are basically every artist's: practice. By that I mean, to observe and try to depict it yourself. While people think copying stuff is bad, everyone has to start somewhere, I, for example, started by mimicking the style of the PokΓ©mon anime, and later on, Naruto's style, until I developed my own style on my own later.
So I cannot stress this enough: please look at tutorials, do take references, from other artistis or real life photos! Try to draw from them first, observe how the elements work, and then try to depict it yourself. Art is mostly observation and practice, so if you keep doing it trying to push your limits a bit further everytime, you'll automatically start to learn from your references. Just remember to properly credit anyone or any media you use as your references; referencing is fine, but not plagiarism.
Something I've been doing that helps as well: try to draw something everyday. It doesn't need to be grandiose or elaborate, just draw something and finish it. By doing so you'll get faster and actually develop faster as well. I've noticed my speed and art quality has improved a lot by doing this simple exercise.
Be prepared for frustration, too. Art is something you'll gonna practice on for the rest of your life, and while it does seem simple when others do it, it took us years to get where we are. You won't feel satisfied with your work at first, but try to keep at it no matter how much you dislike it. Until you start showing positive prowess, you're gonna fail a lot and that's a natural process of art and mostly everything else as well. I wonder why people never speak of this? There's no such thing as talent for art alone since it doesn't provide dedication, so if you think you can't draw well, don't forget the dedication part. I know some pretty good artists who stopped practicing that had their art quality stagnated, while people who were new to art have already surpassed their skills by practicing and keeping dedicated to it.
Art is something really personal, so I'm afraid I can't dictate what works best or not since each person has a different way of doing things, but these are things no one taught me which I found to be really useful to grow as an artist when older. Hope it helps!
