What are good exercises if you already have a lot of experience with painting and drawing?

I've been painting a lot since I was a little girl. I taught myself most of what I know. That's probably the reason why my paintings aren't getting any better (I think). Here are a few example pictures:

So I wanted to ask what you can use to practice shadows and light… But break circles or something like that, but rather figures

Less anime, more anatomical studies.

You asked me to answer. What artists prefer is to paint what is, instead of what one believes to see, or even worse – what one believes to want to see, and then to reduce to what the essence of it contains.

I would recommend you to draw what interests you most. With which you can practice very good shade/light is coal. Alternatively also pencils with a black pin.

Drawings are much more vivid and interesting when the contrast is true. That means if shadow is dark enough and light is bright enough. You’re sad to make shadows darker, that makes a big difference. I would really recommend you coal (also as coal pins) because it is very suitable for practice for strong contrast and on the other hand it is much faster than to draw with colored pencils.

The magic word is: Mastercopy! choose any work you like and copy it. You can learn different styles and then develop your own style.

nicht wirklich, denke an deinen Kunstunterricht oder an den letzten Museumsbesuch. Probiere alles aus, was dir unter die Augen kommt, Hauptsache du kommst irgendwie an ein ausreichend gutes Abbild desWerkes.

z.B.

Vincent van Gogh, Turner, Michelangelo, Hans Holbein, Leonardo da Vinci, Hieronymus Bosch, Albrecht Dürer, Roy Lichtenstein, Kandisky, Macke, Chagall, Hundertwasser, Edvard Munch (Der Schrei), Henri Matisse, Picasso, Amrita Sher-Gil
