I've decided that I'm going to be putting up everything I'm working on to try and learn how to draw. There's a lot of pages right now, but I hope to be more consistent about it with doing stuff. These first ones are laughably bad. Yes, go ahead, make fun of me for them as much as you'd like! I find them funny too! But with the later ones, I do want actual feedback so I can try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. And don't just say that I'm using pen and be done with it. All of that is just me practicing how I do it more than making anything decent.
And the last one of these for now.

You’re doing a Lot, awesome job! Practice makes perfect, and being willing to do this much will absolutely help.
One tip I’d make is that for the circles at the end of each limb, I’d do them a little differently- making them bigger, and drawing the limb by kinda connecting the circles with lines.
And similar to that- Here, I’d have made the chest circle a liittle bit bigger, and the one for the lower body a bit higher. With that, I’d do as I said- Forming the body by connecting the circles with lines. I’d curve the lines inwards a bit while you do though. I’d also make the neck the same way, connecting the head circle to the chest circle.
Try all that, and send me a pic! You’re doing great so far, and I want to do my best to help you make more progress.
Oh, and one last tip for now- if you make the linework for the construction (the circles and “skeleton lines”) a bit lighter, then make the lines actually forming everything a bit darker, it might look a little cleaner.
Just try it all out, and see what seems like it helps! If something’s confusing then just ask, and even if it seems like something didn’t actually help, show me it so I can see what I can suggest.
Good luck, and I can’t wait to see how you do.
