K so I'm just gonna make this a thread where I put all my sketches/drawings, I'm trying to get into realistic type drawings because it's cool.
I am very new to any kind of art, only thing I am experienced in art wise is stick figures in school, and shitty videos in my video class. CnC on whatever drawings I put here is something I want, and advice on shading, proper proportions, etc will be much appreciated!

I would like some CnC on the newest drawing, I'm still really new to drawing, I'm looking into getting a wacom drawing tablet so I can try drawing head textures or something cool like that.
For the second drawing, excellent depth and shading, the buttons facing the front looks rather misplaced or slanting downwards of the phone, Toribash logo seems to be within the screen rather than like an iPhone. I don't know if you erased it lightly but the last photo doesn't have the depth like the Wips, the final product don't look as good as the last Wipe but it's pretty good already.
nice drawings for your beginning.
I think you have a good line stroke and is doing the hardest, to just copy without any tech.
You need to measure angles of your lines to get a good shape of your features, it keeps the drawing not so misled.
keep thinking of proportions for your drawings, try to measure with eyes and with guides(lines).
you will grow as you draw, I recommend ctrl+paint and drawabox for online tutorials.
Thank you very much! I am trying to make drawing a habit in order to break some bad habits, as well as to get better because its fun. I traced my phone before I drew it, just the outline though, no inner details but the single rounded corner rectangle. If and when I get a drawing tablet, I will definitely check those programs out.

Thank you! I love art in TB and IRL, so I think I had a pretty good idea of what looks good and what doesn't when I started, and I definitely think that helped. The Toribash logo wasn't meant to look realistic, I drew it in less than a minute because I didn't want people to think "Hey, he says this is his second drawing but it's pretty ok, maybe hes just lying and maybe these aren't his drawings", so I made that logo thing and that signature whatever to show it was mine.
Tbh, I always thought that if I started drawing, I would be more into cartoony drawings and robot type drawings, but I think realistic drawings are what I like the most so far. (Haven't drawn much so I might find stuff later on that I enjoy drawing more)
it's important to start out with realistic drawings anyways, since it can be applied to a more cartoony style later on. it doesnt work the other way around. also i think itd work better with your level right now. cartoony styles require more of a clean lineart than what you're doing now.
it's good to have a reference photo for drawings, however if you're copying the photo itself then theres not much of a learning curve. i dont mean tracing it, i mean drawing it exactly like the photo.
you should blend more. using your finger to do so is ok but you should really use a blending stump if youre not.
the top left corner of the iphone shows too much of its side, and makes the phone look bent. try putting stuff on the screen to practice perspective.
Update: Three new drawings for yall to check out, I have an art class this trimester so I'll be posting here more frequently.
This if my third drawing, I layed a pencil on a peice of paper and drew it, it turned out okay imo, coulda worked more on the shading underneath and my overall lines but whatev

-----
resized the pics, idk why but i guess my phone's default pic size is that fucking big cuz i uploaded those pics from my phone
The pencil i was using didn't have an eraser, it looked like this but it had different branding etc, didn't wanna put the logos or designs on the drawing cuz i felt like it would make it look weird
