Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Looking into some solutions.
Can you go more in-depth on what level of difficulty each artist has and why it varies from person to person?

The only hard thing when I draw feet is my cock

It can depend on what you study and focus on. Hands are common due to how many poses your fingers can be in. For people who mainly focus on figure drawing, you might have trouble with animals because you aren't used to drawing anything non-human.
I'm not much of an artist but my problem has always been legs when I'm doing a full bodied portrait. I usually make them too long or too short and it can really throw everything off.
So will stuff like this piss you off?
What about material as well? What kind of material piss you off if you were asked to draw it?

A good subject, I knw I'd be ghosting that commissioner fast. Be sure to demand a lot of detailed tattoos and intricate details or accessories, prepared to bitch them out when any of them are missing. Artists love that!

I'd demand more money, but yes it probably would.
A bit of both. Say you want to draw in a more cartoony style, you need to deliberately do it, but after practice and time, you'll eventually evolve into your own style.
I still need more advice on the material though, if you don't mind.
For me personally it would be perspective and buildings that aren't totally wonky, and machinery/vehicles/spacecraft. Which is pretty bad because I have a sci fi comic and I'm terrible at drawing ships that aren't shit.
This is probably one of my better attempts at dramatic perspective, don't think too hard about any of the buildings!

Level of difficulty each person has and why it varies depending on person to person really varies because people vary. Some can naturally draw straight lines better than others. People have different degrees of visual acuity, some have different degrees of color blindness, different degrees of experience, different degrees of confidence, different degrees of encouragement and support, different levels of education, and, most importantly of all, different degrees of dedication and discipline.
In short, people are all fucking different and so have different problems. There isn't an easily definable like, tier list or anything. There are the strengths and weaknesses and artist displays and its largely on them to be dedicated enough to study, practice, and improve, but like everything in life, its hard as fuck to improve yourself without the support you respond best to.
In a less broad term, I mentioned feet and hands because the structure of feet and hands really isn't understood well if you don't study them.
Hands are latticed structures with loose skin and flesh in between. They're not planes, or squares with five tubes sprouting from them. Your hands can flex, ball up, fingers can splay out or scrunch in, your palm, depending on how you position your fingers, can take on many different little blobby shapes. Feet are a little more static, but can shape and deform in many of the same ways. This is all, of course, to give us precision grip, and balance over a wide variety of terrains, but it does mean they're extremely hard to draw in a convincing way.
Instruments and machinery are a pain in the ass
Artists who tend to do figure-only drawings will say non-human objects and backgrounds. It's funny since objects are literal shapes and rarely differ from one another due to how manufactured they are, but if you have no experience in life drawing in general (which every artist literally has to go through but most stop doing fruit bowls and shit once out of the classroom), as well as perspective, things like buildings and cars will be your worst nightmare. Of course, artists really and truly should be drawing with a reference anyway, but some of us are pretty stubborn and want to draw from memory, which is hard.
But yes, in terms of the human figure itself, hands and feet are challenging (I think hands are fun, personally), but so are the eyes. Eyes are wonderful, but they're hard to get down right which is why a lot of paintings can fall under uncanny valley at times since the subject tends to look like a mannequin.

Just start sketching basic human forms using a reference, and then move onto landscapes, every day objects, and then move onto honing your personal style.
Sorry, I'm not really much of an artist, I just have some basic knowledge and draw as a hobby.
Explain why, I’m quite curious to understand why.
Anything related to anatomy in general: hands, feet, faces, bodies, muscles. Many artists avoid figure drawing/studies for various reasons which leads to poor figures in their art. Even if someone knows how the average human is structured, that knowledge doesn't tell you how age, body structure, fat and race can all alter a figure in question.
Also perspective because if you get one part wrong everything else is off too.

There's just a lot of clutter (especially with guitars, violins, clarinets, cars, etc).
