    Thank you so much for your words, I really appreciate it. I'll keep in mind all the things you recommended me and I'm gonna put so much attention and effort in develop my confidence and increase my accuracy. I enjoyed a lot making mistake and not worrying about how perfect it'd should be.

    Hi there!, I assumed that you already do research on how to get accurate proportion I'd like to link a video about this topic because I believe it'll answer the most of your doubts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDIzzJgH_i8. That said, I think that the reason of why your drawings looks lil flatter it's because you aren't using some measuring methods like sized sight or blocking, for example (if you're drawing from life or using photo references). Also, assuming that you strictly drawing using line, you might play with the different line weights. This because line weights are applying in how light affects an object, making it, by the weight of line alone, acquire volume.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
