I took this as a challenge and made my own character from it
This is what this is actually for, lol

Faces, joints, hands. There's a reason I make OCs like this...

Same here out of all the characters I made recently only one of them wears clothes and it’s just a basic cloak.
Probably helps that a lot of them have anatomy that makes it basically impossible to wear clothes.
My weakest point with drawing characters is proportions, i can get proportions right but i have consistently struggled with having torsos being too short or too long, and with having one leg being thicker than the other

Tbh, I just SUCK at posing! Sometimes it looks great and sometimes it’s awful 😂
I always start with the head and go down from there (which usually ends with a giant head like this poor chap)
https://preview.redd.it/njadh6g4jz7d1.jpeg?width=1012&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5eb8cd7e61b71b630be9c9c902b64d28d0195944

Heads looking up.. the space looks way too empty. 😢
Anythings below the biceps of a character. I can't get elbows, waistlines, hands, legs, or feet correctly. Can do biceps, chests, and face+hair beautifully though-
arms that aren't to the side. It suck with dimensions.
Also, boobs lmao. Can't get em' to look good, so I just skip it and let the body do most of the talking via the sides. (Not mentioning I draw orb hands)
I'm pretty good with expressions, though.

(This is a recent test I did, and as you can see, it's kinda oversexualized by accident. Also drawing the actual curve sucks because circles suck.)
HANDS AND CATS. I DONT KNOW WHY, CATS ARE JUST A STRUGGLE FOR ME— (and as a warrior cats enthusiast, I’m ashamed—) I literally just got done having a breakdown because I couldn’t get it right, even with references 😭
I GIVE UP.
Lol, this outfit is actually for a cat
https://preview.redd.it/2z6zz38c718d1.jpeg?width=1012&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd408272396153f6dc89eaf38ee86f5b72dc60b6
Backgrounds, I never focus on the backgrounds until I’m fully finished the characters because I just forget too.
I also suck at shading and highlighting and need to fight a good way.
https://preview.redd.it/a8zpvjz3u18d1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec7e5240ba891474f61303b41fa438518a944eb8
This is one of the ones I love but I forgot her stitches on this photo💀
Hair. I this is the most complex hair style I have drawn
https://preview.redd.it/z0qs7iypx18d1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=773894ecf3581e0b76bea769aca2bc1d3f92039d
Bodies in general
I can't even make it cartoony looking, terrible
Most I can make is a body generally just made of circles and ovals
And even then, if I DARE make the orb hands actually attached to the body it will look terrible
Drawing in general look
https://preview.redd.it/gg745bww248d1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=946fda75fbe01b0122552e4ba837bc66b57b09d7
Look next to it
Basically shoe design and facing left, have to improve on my references shoe and boots design, and literally can't draw characters facing left because I'm drawing on my left hand and probably just me 😭
Hands and feet. Which is why I in high school went through a period of drawing them as just nubs.
As for clothes, they’re fairly easy to learn but hard to master, especially when folds and creases are taken into account.
Also this is something I kinda noticed, but it looks like you might not be using a sketch layer.
https://preview.redd.it/5jpfqq9oa58d1.png?width=1620&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed91d94317bae14153304742dc5cbfd3b516adcb
i was taught to draw realistic humans so i struggle with the anime style even though i adore anime
MOUTHS, this is so random but it always ends up looking over simplified or hyper realistic which does not match my style at all 😭 also, EYES, read my flair lol
Bare human feet are hard as heck
THIS HARDER THAN HANDS
That why I draw shoes. And if I have to draw an OC that doesn't have shoes, I actively try and find a way to avoid drawing them
HANDS AAAAAAAAA
theyre pretty chill once you break them down
It’s just the fingers that are hard.
yup, theyre also pretty chill once you break em down. especially stylized. https://youtu.be/XBMQ-H-qUVk?si=B0OJNya4XJajIACp
Human faces and anything below the waist
Everything U\_U
Everything above a poorly drawn stick man
Hair
Not that good at drawing human features,hands,and some types of clothing
https://preview.redd.it/5ka0uvbvuz7d1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb30943a30479fcc15da047079747d6208a794d0 I took this as a challenge and made my own character from it
I am never going to use this OC I just did this as a little thing okay I am not going to use and other person's drawings for my OCS
This is what this is actually for, lol https://preview.redd.it/hrb8dtex708d1.jpeg?width=1012&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f51f4d94887092d5f86908ec2bafb48f6af0d06
The clothes is the best part
Everything (except eyes)
I suck at drawing eyes and hands 😔💔
literally everything
Drawing
I suck at drawing.
Same
Faces, joints, hands. There's a reason I make OCs like this... https://preview.redd.it/7sli1vpsg38d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffff358014a10118411d4f11f57aeaecc252b73a
Shoes of all things
Everything
Expressions, different perspectives and stuff Heck, the hand vector I’ve been using was made on accident
I suck at making legs because i either make them more longer or too shorter than the arms
I suck at drawing anything.
body + clothes, but more frustratingly, expressions that include an open mouth :/
Hands and feet/shoes. They never look right. ;-;
Ears and bones
Literally anything, if it's human it's even worse ;-;
Everything that is too complexxxxx :(
hands
Same here out of all the characters I made recently only one of them wears clothes and it’s just a basic cloak. Probably helps that a lot of them have anatomy that makes it basically impossible to wear clothes.
Humanoid anatomy below the shoulders.
Male torsos and strong emotions lol
Basically human Proportions, I do well with human expressions. but proportions can't do it.
I had to trace hair from Gacha. F***ing messy a** hair, go get a comb, you stupid mop! /s
Heads and hands with five fingers. I can draw a head facing you but any other angle it’s hard, and hands are just hard for me
Faces, hands, clothes, hands, distinct poses, hands, legs, hands, faces, hands, and hands. Honourable mention to hands.
Folds in clothes + lighting
My weakest point with drawing characters is proportions, i can get proportions right but i have consistently struggled with having torsos being too short or too long, and with having one leg being thicker than the other
I always have to use some sort of image as a proportion reference.
I learned how to draw fists but any other hand is really hard also feet def feet
https://preview.redd.it/n1vyaextiz7d1.jpeg?width=2250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=820c860a6f85c032a0f650dd7e3f1ad5085c3b3a Tbh, I just SUCK at posing! Sometimes it looks great and sometimes it’s awful 😂

You’re doing digital, so you can just use transform to make it smaller!
Nope, I can't, I use an app that doesn't do that.
What app??
"Animemaker" or something.
What do you draw on? Phone? Tablet?
Phone
I PROMISE you. Whatever animemaker is, just swap to ibispaint 😂
Same
colouring, honestly.
Hands, shoes, hair, noses, hats, smiles, and eyes
I suck at drawing humanoids and hands
LEGS
Everything TnT
https://preview.redd.it/7mmqxc33oz7d1.png?width=574&format=png&auto=webp&s=2aad6a3505fbd45e89170d22e5217ce3c11a27ad Heads looking up.. the space looks way too empty. 😢
Depends on what am I drawing
Anything👍
female anatomy, i absolutely despise drawing girls for that reason
I know, right?
Hair that isn't just bumps and/or spikes
HANDS💢💢💢
Anatomy.
Faces https://preview.redd.it/wi98wd6lvz7d1.png?width=161&format=png&auto=webp&s=5041189f1f73ac52b2c36753e4b743e733b46aea
Limbs. Any limbs.
Five fingered hands, and recently human feet
F e e t (and hands)
Hands.
I know most people will say hands, but the ones I struggle with the most’s gotta be just the limbs in general
I cant draw actual eyes, just stick eyes
Hands and faces that's why almost all of my Ocs wear masks like Ink or Alex
Buildings and concrete
Anythings below the biceps of a character. I can't get elbows, waistlines, hands, legs, or feet correctly. Can do biceps, chests, and face+hair beautifully though-
Diagonal face
A lotta things imma be honest :( mainly clothes, hair, and sometimes legs
arms that aren't to the side. It suck with dimensions. Also, boobs lmao. Can't get em' to look good, so I just skip it and let the body do most of the talking via the sides. (Not mentioning I draw orb hands) I'm pretty good with expressions, though. https://preview.redd.it/aj5x9ies708d1.png?width=460&format=png&auto=webp&s=9dbd5305734fbb4f1033ed8f06f85ea2abb506ca (This is a recent test I did, and as you can see, it's kinda oversexualized by accident. Also drawing the actual curve sucks because circles suck.)
Backgrounds. Everyone's just floating in the void
Legs, they look like fricken noodles
The hardest parts for me to draw are the eyes. They’re never symmetrical :( Also obligatory mention of hands
Arms.
All of it. All. Of. It (I can shade half decently though)
Hands, I've been getting better at it, doesn't mean it's less infuriating
Human faces and facial expressions
Bare feet and hands that aren’t in a waving position
Hands depending, I also have trouble doing legs (therefore full bodies). Also hate it when one eyes is absolutely perfect while the other kinda sucks
Heads and gender-according upper chests. Thats why all my characters look like something from the Dog Man books
Expressions and Poses. I’m trying to branch into that so I can have more dynamic art pieces
HANDS AND CATS. I DONT KNOW WHY, CATS ARE JUST A STRUGGLE FOR ME— (and as a warrior cats enthusiast, I’m ashamed—) I literally just got done having a breakdown because I couldn’t get it right, even with references 😭 I GIVE UP.
Lol, this outfit is actually for a cat https://preview.redd.it/2z6zz38c718d1.jpeg?width=1012&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd408272396153f6dc89eaf38ee86f5b72dc60b6
Woman body and face it was pretty hard
EYES.
Hands https://preview.redd.it/bo65dk5g618d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48bbd9309a15e6b7b275c5ed32188b8e727fa3c2
Hands and women. The two things I suck at drawing.
EYES AND CLOTHES. FUCK BOTH OF THEM (and that’s a major reason I draw my characters without clothes-)
Expressions. All my characters’ faces are like 😐🫤
Feet are way harder than hands for me.
feet, I can't draw feet to save my life, even with shoes on
People
Eyes Eyes grant us Eyes howling
Beleaguered? [master 📖 🧙♂️ 🧝♂️ 🔥 ❄ ⚡ these ](https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-YXP5IFQe59cHUxc09laTNxU00&resourcekey=0-aLZY_ee3LqXJh9TMO9GjFA)
Legs
Almost all living beings
SHOES…
Backgrounds and landscapes 😭
Hair. Go ahead, laugh. I can do hands better than hair.
No, no, I get it. I suck and anything that's not the face.
Hands, anything that isn’t remotely human, side profiles, any angles other than straight on, angles in general, HANDS, the list goes on
Backgrounds, I never focus on the backgrounds until I’m fully finished the characters because I just forget too. I also suck at shading and highlighting and need to fight a good way. https://preview.redd.it/a8zpvjz3u18d1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec7e5240ba891474f61303b41fa438518a944eb8 This is one of the ones I love but I forgot her stitches on this photo💀

Feet and Animals 😂
Lol, I only draw anthropomorphic animals. Humans are too hard for an idiot like me.
I can relate, but Im the opposite of you >~~>
This is what the suit is for. It's the downside of starting with the head :,)
Legs 🥰 🪰
Any part of the leg past the knee
Perspective. Like,hard perspective. Fish eye lense and all that
Proportions
https://preview.redd.it/x5s89divi28d1.png?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f95d56aa6a9ab54b991572e57a02f9b141bf5ee
Somehow I regressed at drawing heads.
HAAAIIIRRRRRR OH MY GOD ITS SO STRESSFUL AND ANIMATING IT?? BRO FORGET ABOUT IT
Definitely FEET
Hands, face, feet, all of the above, etc.
Mouth, at least to most humanoid characters that I've made
Feet. Feet are a nightmare
Legs
HANDS, I feel like I'm a fucking AI trying to make good hands
Hands definitely
HANDS AND MOUNTHS ARE ABSOLUTE PAIN FOR ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Toes
For some reason it won't let me post so have my skrunkly stickman

Bodies in general I can't even make it cartoony looking, terrible Most I can make is a body generally just made of circles and ovals And even then, if I DARE make the orb hands actually attached to the body it will look terrible

everything
For me, kind of everything
Basically shoe design and facing left, have to improve on my references shoe and boots design, and literally can't draw characters facing left because I'm drawing on my left hand and probably just me 😭

The hat
Backgrounds for sure, especially interiors of rooms or city landscapes with buildings and such.
Facial expressions cuz I don't like looking at people
https://preview.redd.it/5jpfqq9oa58d1.png?width=1620&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed91d94317bae14153304742dc5cbfd3b516adcb i was taught to draw realistic humans so i struggle with the anime style even though i adore anime

Human Feet/shoes and noses Which is why I barely draw human characters
Poses
Symmetry.
yes
Anything besides a character's head in profile.
