I Use Colored Pencils To Draw Realistic Pictures

I am a self-taught artist from India. I've been drawing since I was around 4 years old. I used to make cartoon sketches and similar kind of drawings.

About 2 or 3 years ago I started watching drawing tutorials and kept practicing. These pictures show how my drawing improved over the years. I have watched many videos on Youtube and drawings made by other artists. Many of them made me frustrated because I could't draw as well as they did.

I compared my drawings to other professionals and noticed my mistakes. I also started uploading my artwork on some Facebook groups and got really helpful feedback. Aven though I need more years to learn and improve, my goal is to turn this hobby into a career.
