Don't worry about that, you're only 17! Just keep practicing. All that matters is that you're better than you were yesterday!

thank you very much for the encouragement ^^ it feels good. 

it's true but I do not know how to move forward, I find that I stagnate and I can not evolve for 3 years.

Honestly? I can see an improvement just by viewing your gallery, don't give up!
But here are some techniques that may speed up your development:
Study different art styles and subject matter.

I'll use myself as an example. Now I don't post any of these drawings because I'm still not happy with the results but cars and vehicles have always intimidated me, so I'v been practicing drawing them a lot! Im getting better at drawing cars for sure, but what's even crazier is that when I return to a subject matter I am comfortable with, I almost always notice an improvement. It kinda feels like magic.

So identify an object that scares you or that you have ignored or disliked and study it hardcore - research other artists who are good at it and then spend a few weeks developing your skill in that direction. You can also do the same with art styles: realism, classic comic book art, impressionism, abstract, popular art from specific eras and cultures like the renaissance, Celtic art, historical Japanese art... lol even anime.

you gotta branch out and seek new challenges!

Another counter-intuitive method of improving your art is by exercising your creativity in a completely different discipline. Spend a half hour a day exploring an instrument - make it an odd one too! like the ukulele or the harmonica. Or start a journal and write daily. Read good fiction to help stretch your imagination, I personally love Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (but seriously read it because it will blow your mind).

I'm not saying that you should abandon what you love drawing - you gotta keep practicing that too. Oh! and don't neglect your physical health either... but that just good life advice. Anyway, do a little extracurricular work and I guarantee your artistic talent will evolve - eventually you might even start improving while you sleep!

thank you, I think this is the first time I speak to someone who is interested in young artists and tries to give them advice. it's really good. I'll try a little of all the advice you gave me, I'm sure it'll be fine.
