It something hard to see detail that evade your understanding.It can be bad angle bad proportion bad lighting bad anatomy bad perspective the list goes on.If you can't spot error it almost impossible to improve.No amount of drawing can improve your observation you have to be conscious of the rule your breaking.This is why you need to make error and other to explain to you the error you make but that not enough because you rely on other to see them for you what you need is to understand .Why you did break them this mean being able to learn theory and apply that theory correctly.

For example on those cylinder you just drew you made a common error newbie does you want to show to much of the ellipse on top and you have problem estimating the degre of the bottom ellipse.You also draw you ellipse in the shape of egg rather then being correct ellipse.Sadly ellipse are a rather hard subject for beginner it not easy to explain because it mix perspective and accuracy and it best if you understand how to properly construct box in perspective first before you try to approch learning how to do cylinder.

Accuracy is more important than a finish drawing because without accuracy you cannot produce quality work.Without the knowledge of fundamental art rule you are limited to copying and relying on reference to much.

Don't get discouraged by the harsh word you receive the compliment won't come without hard work everyone would like to be a genius and draw well without effort.The ''genius'' are only gifted if there can listen to advice and figure out how to come us those advice in a constructive way. Listining isn't enough you have to understand why the critic was constructive.
