most difficult thing(s) to draw?

I would imagine just about every artist has at least one thing that is just incredibly difficult to draw, whether it's hands, feet, faces, men, women, backgrounds, animals, or anything else. So, with that being said... what's the most difficult thing (or things) for you to draw?

For me, I'd have to say women (everything, face, bodily structure, hair, etc...), backgrounds, guns (which is weird because I'm usually not to bad at making blocky three dimensional objects and structures with depth like buildings and cars), and eyes (more specifically realistic eyes).

What about you?

I also draw stuff. Here's some of it.

I've got a shit ton of practice, made some neat backgrounds, but after a couple of months of not doing it, I'm trash again. That skill rusts fast.
Backgrounds are the worst.

Oh, I forgot about landscapes. They're also super difficult for me. On the bright side though, I find landscapes really fun to make!

Man, I really need to practice backgrounds more. It's just hard to bring myself to do it because they're kinda boring to draw.

I HATE drawing the face at an upwards angle, where the chin curves up. No matter what I do, it always looks wrong. lol
I also have a really hard time with dynamic poses, and some trouble with arms and legs.

That sounds pretty frustrating. I don't think I've ever drawn a face at that angle before. I should try to.

Oh yeah! I have a bit of trouble with legs too. More specifically the calf and knees.

I can never tell if I drew the calf too thick or not thick enough.

Backgrounds are especially hard for me, any kind of background...

Oh man! Hands are a bit difficult for me too, but they're super fun to draw.
