Hello, I am Nurse Loch from the :iconartistshospital:. You had mentioned having difficulty drawing the same character consistently as well as drawing certain angles. My suggestion is to take pictures of yourself or one of your friends in the same pose from different angles. Then you can use the pictures as reference to help you maintain the same consistency in drawing that particular person from all angles. If you do not have a camera to do this, maybe you can get someone to sit for you while you draw quick gestural images that capture the basic important features of that person that you can develop further later. If you don't have someone who will sit for you for that long, then having two mirrors will work as well. One as a stationary mirror that you can sit in front of. As you turn to get other angles you will need the second mirror to look directly into so that you can see yourself from another angle in the stationary one.

Keeping a consistent look for certain characters is something that takes quite a bit of practice . It is important to find the one characteristic of that person's face or hair that defines them and start with that. For example, if they have a large or broken nose, if they always wear their hair parted on a certain side, if they have wide set eyes, if they have full or thin lips, high cheekbones, etc. Try to find the one thing about them that is uniquely them and start by focusing on that.

I know it can be frustrating, but once you start getting the results you were hoping for it can be extremely rewarding and fulfilling. Most important, never give up! <3
