Years and years of practice, as well as taking time to study other works of art to help you to get a better idea how you would want to portray something.

I definitely recommend drawing and doodling frequently to get a feel for your own style and methods, as well as exercise your abilities. These two things helped me to achieve my current ability.

The years of practice and studying I definitely can understand. :)

Unfortunately for me, I only have a few months of experience right now. Literally five months ago, I had no idea how to even draw kaiju (or any type of living creature). I do try simple sketching every day and I try pushing my abilities whenever I can. I just find it very frustrating because I have so many ideas I want to try, but I don't have time (college :-x ). I often over extend myself.

If it is okay with you, I may ask for some constructive criticism on some of my future works. I try my best to be very open with feedback.

Sorry for the bother.

I am afraid I cannot.
I have a very busy schedule. I hope you understand.

I can completely understand if your too busy. :)

School work is taking up a lot of my time right now too (its my hardest semester and it is only getting worse). It frustrating, there are so many ideas I want to try, but simply I don't have the time.

I'm sorry if it puts any kind of pressure on you. I know it can get awkward for both of us real quick :) . I try not to (and probably shouldn't) ask individuals directly, but so far that is the best way I can get feedback for improvement (and most of the feedback has really helped). Is also just an attempt of networking.

No pressure on you, I just figure I ask someone more experienced for tips.

Thank you for letting me know.
