upload your image to imgur, then click the mona lisa icon in the formatting bar and insert the imgur link (with .png or .gif at the end) to hyperlink it into the thread.
PSA: use imgur

You seem to be doing quite fine. Can you be a bit more specific what you're struggling with?

The boat and horse look lovely, but without knowing what your goal was, it's hard to say what you should do to improve (anything I would say would go towards a specific art style of my choice, but is not my idea to influence your direction). Isometric piece looks good too, although I'm not sure if you literally copied one of their pieces or just did something on your own in their style.

So in general:
1. know what you want to draw
2. try and draw it
3. see where the end result deviates from what you wanted to draw
4. find internet resource for those specific problems
5. apply the new knowledge on your next work

That's my approach to improving anyway. Sometimes there's also step 1.5 (similar to #4) where I look for tutorials in advance if I'm not sure about the process.

That is still so vague.

Anyway, I'm writing a study guide (it's a draft for now) and it has many sections on how to learn and improve:

- Study plan
- Learning
- Improving
- Reflection

I hope it helps you get started and when you have some more specific questions, maybe we can also help with something more specific.

I saw your paintings and I really like it. Maybe I liked the alloy warhead or the Terelia. I'll see your learning plan. I really appreciate your help
