Hey I'm new here and I really wanna sketch and draw I'm a little bit good at my drawing but I really wanna improve my art work also to figure out my art style
Don’t worry about style. Too many people gravitate toward that (or what they think that is) and it becomes an awful crutch. Style is the exaggeration of fundamentals. You need to learn them to have style. When you don’t have them, it shows. Yet many people will argue that the flaws of their drawings are actually their style. This slows progress as an artist because you don’t allow yourself to take critique if you think defensively.
I don’t really think my art has “style”, but I have made this same mistake numerous times in other areas of my life. I simply refused mastery of any actual skill, in favor of excuses. Delicious excuses. Now I’m fat with wasted potential.
Don't be like me.

I think your drawing of “jinx” is an improvement over the others in one area. The energy is the lines is better. In the copies of Jose Garcia’s work you are careful to copy lines as you see them but his are quick and confident even extending past the actual form like in the brow ridge.
On that same drawing though it looks like you drew lines around the shadows then hatched it in. Jose’s drawings do have lines around the crosshatching, but they aren’t actually blocking in shadows from what I’m seeing.
It looks like Jose has drawn in lines that suggest the shape of the skull, then he crosshatched in the shadows. which happen to be very related in this exaggerated lighting scenario.
I put a really bad tangent in the last chicken. I didn’t see it until I looked at it so small in the thumbnail. To fix it I think I’d redraw the line pointing toward the chicken’s eye, for a compositional bonus. More like the other head I drew in the first picture.

I chose Claire Wendling. I know the facial proportions are horrifying, but at least I tried. :)

Conan after Karl Kopinski, mermaid after Claire Wendling. I was very disappointed with Conan. I teared up with my disappointment. So today I had to clean the slate, I feel better about the second.

I love Kopinski, and Wendling! These are really nice studies. Keep it up!
