Am I a good drawer?
I think I am but I want your opinion.
I think it's very good and brimming with potential for your age.
If I could suggest one thing that I think could tighten up your designs, it's to avoid shading with the side of your graphite pencil on coarse sketching paper -- not just yet.
Try, for example, using a ballpoint pen on typing/printing paper where your line work is very, very clear, and focus on hatching techniques like so:

It'll tend to make it much easier to start achieving any style you want if you start with a pure line-work driven focus and work your way up to more organic mediums like charcoal and graphite on coarse paper.
It also make it easier to tighten up the work -- like if you notice the line work above, it's mostly going in one direction with the hatching. It gives the whole thing a sense of movement and kind of integrates everything together.
Same artist to illustrate how you can move from a line-work driven focus to very delicate value work:

The reverse is harder to achieve until you spend a lot of time focusing on line work. It's a mistake I made when I was younger until I took up sketching with ballpoint pen and kind of re-learned everything through that process.
With mediums like graphite, charcoal, pastel, they're like powder diffusing over the surface of the paper, and also smudging and smearing. Especially with a coarse tooth, you lose the ability to be able to see each and every stroke you make on that paper.
With ink you can't do that -- and that can actually really help you progress astronomically faster. When every single stroke you make on that paper is going to make the finest line that reads perfectly, you have to learn to communicate all your design ideas -- including lighting and shadow, rhythm and gesture, through nothing more than line work -- lines dancing around on the sheet of paper. If you can master that, you can achieve anything.
One last example for inspiration: Leonardo da Vinci.

You can see the rhythmic diagonal strokes unifying the entire sketch. Another:

That was something the old masters had to learn using mediums like silverpoint. It's something comic book illustrators also have to learn since they have to use ink to illustrate each frame.
Cool
Cheers -- sorry if I got carried away a bit there! I was also very enthusiastic about drawing when younger and was at a similar stage (and also similar interest in subjects), and the one thing I wish I did earlier was taking to mediums like ballpoint pen a bit more quickly. Anyway, awesome work!
thanks and by the way nice drawings man
You do that and I will
Nice work man, personally love the shading on these. I draw too except I'm not as good lol
The only suggestion for improvement I can give is probably for you to chand the handwriting lol, it seems a bit but out of place (calligraphy lessons could be useful). Otherwise the drawings are really nice, impressive for someone your age as well, keep it up
Thank you yah my handwriting sucks
Wow awesome 👍you have a great talent for drawing!! 10/10
I admire anyone who can draw. It's a gift I've always wanted , but I can't even draw a matchstick man 😥😂
Thanks I really enjoy it
Yeah dude, I think you've got a ton of talent. These are really cool - esp the predator. I love the detail.
Thanks that's my favorite one
The t-Rex dinosaur is my favourite. You're really good

No, you're not a good drawer... just an awesome cupboard.
😐😐😐
Ok 😕😕😕 confused
Absolutely , looks great. I draw myself too. Your work is very nicely shaded. Extreme lights and darks. They call that Chirisciro ) . Spelling might be wrong
Spelling wrong?
This is a work of art. You're really talented, and not so unuseful anymore, huh? :)
I feel useful now 😊
Well it depends, it's good for an average drawer. But if you want a career, you have a lot of improving to do. Please understand I'm not trying to hate, but just keep that in mind.
I'm think about career because I love art
I take lesson with a really good artist he's 18-20 He's really good he's helped me with my drawings a lot
You're really good. You should stick with it and take as many art classes as you can.
I do take art classes The predator I did before I took the classes and during the classes so
Those look great. 1000000000000x better than anything I could do lol
Thanks pal 😊😊
Average, But you can get better everyday there's tonnes of potential in your drawing someday you'll be able to draw a replica of Mona Lisa if you practice!!!
yes I can only draw stick figures
I do reptilian things or dinosaur shaped things really well but humans are bad
I find the general shape slightey hard to draw of the human body but I can still do it
the faces and hands are hard
Same whenever I do a self portrait in class it looks like a pig man 😂
We just did Picasso art in our class
It was ugly 😂
That's no fun
That's sucks
its amazing!!!
Thanks
Those are awesome!
Thanks
