Hey. :3 I do traditional "art."
I have a strive to be an artist when I get older. I wanna make hand crafted things, paint and draw..my currant drive is drawing. I would love to get into digital art however..I don't have a real computer. uwu
Critic is welcome. Please just don't be like rude. I'm really sensitive, I want tips not hate lol.
I rarely color. As I'm bad at coloring. I prefer black and white, and I don't know how to shade properly. I also do not have a scanner. I'm poor. uwu; Here are some examples of my art.

I really like your ambition! ;v;
Your drawings show your improvement, if you could draw them digitally I'm sure they would look great!
When I kept drawing with pencil, I also thought that it would look better just in black and white, but coloring them on pc really makes them better. I can't really help you with coloring with crayons or copics (if you have them) but when you're shading, you need to determine where the SOL (source of light) is. For example, if the light (=sun, lamp) comes from the right, the left side should be darker. Shadows should also always follow a flow and not stop suddenly, it will make it look more natural. For starters, I would recommend you to color with crayons and not with pens and maybe you can try to color more exactly. With pencils, you can lower the pressure and mix it with a big palette of colors and maybe you can draw reflections on clothes etc. What really helps imo, are video tutorials. You could try to find some on yt :)
For digital art, well, you could try to save up for a cheaper notebook and get SAI for free. I also draw with notebook and Sai without tablet (I'm poor too :c) on my bed DX. Maybe on Ebay or something you will find something what fits your budget.

Hopefully I don't sound cocky or something, I just want to give you some tips because I want to support your ambition :'>
