Probably backgrounds, at least detailed ones that are more than just a sky with a bunch of clouds lol. I was also thinking anatomy but I'm not sure if I'd consider myself terrible at it or nah. Also I don't draw animals often so I struggle a bit sometimes, ESPECIALLY horses (even though I like horses).

Legs. I'm cheeks at drawing legs with any amount of muscle in them. Also shoes that are not simple boots. I have taken characters' shoes off because I couldn't draw the damn shoes. As a result, some people think I have a thing for feet

A part of me started drawing furries because I didn't want to draw hands anymore, but.. paws are difficult too :P
Also backgrounds, like, buildings? I don't even wanna talk about it LOL

•Perspective and pose, I want to do perspective, But for upper perspective I always have problem with the deformed below body, And opposite to the below focus perspective

•I read this like an accusation as opposed to a question lol "What are you, absolutely TERRIBLE at drawing?"
•
•Backgrounds :') very few times I've tried it just doesn't seem to work and just looks bad/weird, unfortunately give i up too quickly when it comes to try to draw/paint backgrounds lol
So most times my ocs are just in a void or simple color background

•SHOES !!! I hate shoes sm whenever I draw them they never feel right to me.. they look like some sort of whole other thing to me whenever I do
•
•Feet. I’ll never fall for the “hands are the hardest to draw” way of thinking. It’s feet that are harder to draw imo

HORSES dear god HORSES 
I almost bought a little book specifically about drawing them, but then thought, I'd rather spend my money and time to learning more about humans and environments.

•I'll put it this way: there's a reason why none of my artworks have proper backgrounds lol
Also feet! Feet are the absolute worst, idk what it is but they never look right. I hate it.

•For me it is and always has been CITYSCAPES and cities in general, just-- idk why but they're impossible to make them look fully rendered and to bring variety into them 
Like mannnn I wanna be good at drawing them SO BAD
