Sometimes I feel like I'm not a good artist, I always need a reference on things like hands but I use my own pose or maybe I want different eyes for my pics...
I can't add shadows right, nor can I color to save my life, I mean I can color but sometimes the picture comes out more wrong on a scan than the actual picture, I need practice on color pencils....

The reason I'm saying this is becasue I'm seeing my friends Lisette and Matt improve alot, and they do digital art so good, sometimes I get jealous and sometimes I feel like the diploma I got for NAHS (National Art Honor Society) shouldn't go to me.
Look at my gallery, most of the people in my school don't draw that, well I was feeling better when my other friend Rachel said that my stuff is unique and I shouldn't be down about it, nobody can match to what I do.
She's right though...
Well here are my classmates who do other art:
:iconchidori97: Give her some love, she can be a critiquer but she's good, but I wouldn't do her art that way too hard and not my style XD.
:iconartxangel15: He can be critiquer too, but he's good most of the stuff he finds on books and magazines, but I think he needs to be more creative in his work than just straight up copying, but he's good with profiles.
:iconezln1: She's amazing with profiles and she's so nice to my art, give her alot of love she deserves it, she draws dudes so well.
:iconrisingphoenix1: is good, she used to draw anime, but stopped shortly, but her art has improved more, give her credit for that, she still has her anime art so go check it out :)
:iconmatt13346: he comes to me for opinions and I give him brutally honest ones, I can never say it's ugly, but I can say it's this and that, but he's good, I dunno why he comes to me, but I'm always glad to help when he or anyone else needs it, his digital stuff aint bad, people say we draw alike, but I dunno look at his gallery and tell me if he does, other than me he draws anime and Sonic art, so please if you guys and gals love this stuff go to his gallery.

You definatley have your own style, I can see that. I'd say it looks cute, but I don't know if you'd label your art that way. As for the eyes, they look good to me, you can always try out other styles. I do it all the time. Even if you look off another style yours won't look just like theirs, it'll have your own little spice to it. (It's not like you'd be tracing it. ;_; )

When I scan in my color picture shots, the scanner always desaturates it and makes it look horrible. And when i use markers it looks even worse! All blotchy and bold. You should scan them into photoshop and alter them to look a bit better. C=

A secret hint. >3> You may know this...but...if you scan in an image at a high resolution and then make the picture smaller it does wonders to the image. I checked out your friend's works and they're pretty good too!~ ^o^

A good artist becomes so by constantly striving to improve their technique. Using a reference for hands, but drawing your own pose is something you _should_ do. Drawing parts that you find hard without a reference will not help you understand the shapes, and would probably make things worse rather than helping you improve. Don't feel bad because you feel you're not as good as such-and-such an artist, just keep working at your style and you will be able to draw as well as them, in your own way!
