My Draws.Ridiculous?Feels bad.I feel bad..HELP ME??

[monic4]

Hi guys im brazilian and its my first time writing here...my english sucks so ill start this apologising already:im sorry..

As eeeverything i do i can't do it right...
Im very shy and introspective,because of that i spend a lot a time alone(duh)...then i started to draw, play guitar and harmonica by myself.

But i know,there's no merit in that, cause i cant do it good.The only thing i think that maybe i do it a little better is to draw.But I still feel very insecure about my sketches..they are all weird and crooked(is that the word?well).I am afraid of somebody sees them and feel pitty on me...like:"What the hell is that girl thinking...these are ridiculous, why does she keeps doing it? Its like her sketches are screaming MONICA,WHAT U DOING?MONICA.STAHP!"

And this is giving me nightmares..ok..that might have sounded too dramatic..but its really annoying me...

Plus, i've spend money buying pencils,erasers,charcoals and paper when i should be buying food(i live alone to study and have to by my own food,ofcourse with mom' cash)..

Well there is so much to say..but i'll save it for later...I think this forum stuff will do aswell as a therapist would do for me..
So im really hoping you guys to answer me if this is really lame and i should stop it or go on..try to get better...dontknow..

SO RATE IT FOR ME PLEASE???
i'll see u guys laters..
Beijos

I like the 3rd and 5th picture...others are o.k. Am not much of an artist...so that's the best feedback you can get from me.

The 3rd pic is funny as i imagine myself in that when i make mistakes...hehe. Keep working on your skills...there is potential .

Not to discourage you or anything but here is an opinion i get from an uncle....My cousin is a sportsman...his dad always keeps telling him, always have 3-4 things you can do in life. If you fail in 1, you will have something to fall back on. Don't aim high... be content with what you can do and what you have.

You are pretty strong to live alone... And you can cook...i wish i could cook. Your english is good...thanks for sharing the pictures...it's always an inspiration when people out there are fighting it out.

i really like the 4th one

Number 3 is good, I like the style and the execution.(pun intended)

The other pictures perspective are all wrong, as well as the ratio's between objects.

Get a book on art, do some still life's and look a lot at things.

Good luck, and do post some more.

It's been a while since I took an art history class in high school, but here goes:

the first one was confusing; the proportions were off and I'm not sure what you're trying to draw.
The second one was ok. Kind of reminds me of one of those midwestern rural paintings of ordinary folks. But the shadows and shading didn't look realistic.
The third one was ok, and I like the bottom picture especially. I can feel the despair and murderous intent of the man in the bottom picture.
The fourth picture was better. I like the shading and the contrast. The trees look like they are swaying with the wind.
The fifth picture was unique. I can see you try to do some shadowing here.

I recommend to read some art books to get some professional help. Check them out at your local library. I see that you are trying to do a lot of shading and shadowing in your artworks - you might want to look into the chiaroscuro concept.
