Total noob learning to draw

[LittleSparrow]

Well.Hi.I had to do add this once more because..well,I did this wrong the first time.
This is my first day here so let me introduce.My name is Simona I'm from Lithuania,15 year old student (that would be highschool,right?).I'm here because I want to get better and drawing.And trust me,it took me a LOOOOT of COURAGE to make this sketchbook...There are just way too many professionals here...

I need your help and critique.If you can help me,I would really really appreciate that.So please be true and mean when you give critique.
So,let's start...

READ THIS PLEASE: I was going to add little notes to each one but I'll do it here :

THE CUP: I really hate the way it turned out.I know it's WRONG but I can't see why...Does that makes sense?I really need help with the cup one.
The WEIRD LOOKING CREATURE WITH FLAT COLORS: It was a test...See the little grayscale on the top?Help me to make it look less flat!
The last work: It was from ctrl paint . My 'versions' of those shapes are on the RIGHT side.


Did I post the images right?...

Another cup.

Good job so far! try defining your shapes more they are a bit messy atm.

[LittleSparrow]

Thank you!And yes,I agree.They are really messy.I have trouble with painting details...Though I can't find any tutorials on painting them...Any tips?Everything I draw comes out in big messy shapes.

Origami.Tone study

First portrait ever.I tried drawing my brother when he was little but my mom said it looks nothing like him :'D Photo reference used. Oh,and his shirt and arms are unfinished.Just so you know...

Hi there! Your origami study is awesome! Don't worry about the portrait. I remember my first drawing of a person's face was of a friend who could draw really well.
When I showed it to her she just laughed and said it looked nothing like her ( I still believe it did ).
Press on and keep drawing faces. Draw a couple every day, and try to draw faces from your own imagination every now and then.
Also check out Andrew Loomis' face construction, here's a link you could use
