In this world of high demand on attention, and instant gratification, patience becomes rare and valuable~ practice it daily through painting and drawing (•̀ᴗ•́). Patience can help you achieve more than your skill does!

Secondly, our brains tend to deceive us, make us believe what we imagine/assume is the reality... most of the time it isn't. Always have references. Take your time to observe them, just like you take the time observing people.
⠀
When drawing a close up face, i will have around 5-10 references on my other screen. If it's a full body action drawing, i tend to have like 30 references (pose, clothing, lighting, color).
⠀
If you feel like your drawing skill isn't improving, most of the time it is not your skill, it is your brain doesn't have the right references to learn from🤔
