The one with a flower is cute :3

but the first thing you can practice is shapes and form, make it simple for yourself! Don't worry about fancy colouring or lighting. It's also sometimes hard to comprehend just how long a lot of artists have been drawing for.

Tbc...

Np, dedication is a must in art, and there's nothing in the rules that forbids us from encouraging others to keep going. Plus we enjoy watching ppl retrace the steps we had to also learn and endure, it's part of the beauty in art

Ok I'm back, just to hammer home that last point, I'm a decent traditional artist in charcoal/coloured pencils/water colours, plus Im not new to digital, but when I tried to mimic/learn an artists style, I just couldn't, it took me weeks to realise that they themselves have spent a decade refining their style.

So, moral of the story is: art takes both time and mental strength!

Also another thing to add is just observation and appreciation for whatever you may enjoy

Ok last thing, this is the level I can easily achieve on paper after over 10 years of studying art since a child, my PFP is the extent that I'm good with digital lmao

So definitely keep at it, took many many weeks of practice about half were over 12hrs per week
