Bro's a gordon ramsay of hentai!
I did say I'm new to drawing and my art isn't that good. You might get some kind of mandella effect because some people that say my art is good and I'm thankful for them. I'm still trying to improve my art every day, but I also don't want to focus too much on quality because it will make the update slow. And that's also why I have 48 gigs worth of reference pictures.

It is possible to become quite skilled even as a largely self-taught artist,

. But if it is possible to take a life drawing class or similar at a community college, museum, gallery, or art center? Try it, it is invaluable experience. Also, practice makes perfect; nobody starts off as a 'good' artist.
But at the end of the day if you are working under harsh time constraints, and the quality is 'good enough' for the majority of the audience that is happy enough to pay you for it? More power to you.
