How to improve my art ( I do not trace my artwork.)?

So I was going over the OP in Emilys thread and checked out the "Who is the one who broke the numpty?" reddit post.

It would seem that Emily has a busy schedule of constantly arguing on various sites. Perhaps even reddit tourists are watching and enjoying the madness.
Genuine question @SamanthaPrater : Does anyone ever check on you and how do you exist without realising how pathetic you are?

@anliteralidiot It's your turn to criticize her.

Honestly, the biggest thing that makes it all look like traced shit is that she doesn't sketch. She just draws the lines without planning, and that's not good for her. She's like Amari Turcol, who draws the same way, but is better.

There's no shapes to tell her where to put things, just lines. Really shaky, thin lines.
And if you don't have a guideline, but draw a decent face like this:

I'm going to believe that's traced.
Also, two other points:
1. There's a brush stabilization setting for SAI. It helps stabilize your strokes. Maybe find it, lol
2. You left shit all over the canvas from every time you erased. Here's an example with contrast up so you can see them (I know DiGeorge makes you blind).

let's draw garfield! Think of every picture as a new SAI layer.
I start with basic shapes to dictate where things will go. I'm doodling lightly so I can erase with ease. Light hand, quick strokes, just an idea.

Then, I refine the shapes, and use my guidelines to help me place the eyes, ears, muzzle, nose, etc.

Refine, refine, refine!

Line it (my lines are shaky because my energy drink is kicking in, and traditional art doesn't have line stabilization).

Detail it.

I took my time, and I drew in layers, using each previous layer to help me. Instead of being in a frantic hurry to prove I don't trace, I simply relaxed, and drew Garfield.

Can also be a thing that her tablet doesn't have enough of pen tinkering. Cheap tablets do tend to have such an issue and I know that from personal experience of using Genius graphic tablet, then Wacom Bamboo (in that old chubby design no less!), Wacom One (not that display one, the small shit for beginners one cuz I wasn't able to afford any better then), Huion 1060+ (I think?) and now using XP-Pen artist 12 for a several years.

hey fuck you, my bamboo was great! I use a huion something these days. I don't binge on higher end tablets, because, well:
it's not the tool, it's how you use it
adapt, learn, work with the problems instead of saying it's because the tablet is bad, y'know?

I think that's the only shred of sanity that she actually had...Or it's her favorite pose that she copied from an certain someone, who was constantly disappointed in her.

I never had any issue with Bamboo. For what it was that's a great beginner's tablet of choice.

Do you ever stop sleeping? You logged off at 11:20 pm and get back online at 5:30 pm (my time). That's over 15 hours of sleep. Do you have regulated meeting hours with your wranglers during the day, or do you just go into a deep slumber on your crumb couch and wake back up in the evening to come back here?

If you look at the app for OBSSTUDIO this is how it works, by connecting directly to your account, you cannot "Fake." this content. I use OBS Studio and you can see that the logo matches in my videos on the start bar.

Anyone trying to tell you this is "Fake ." content is a troll and should be ignored.
