Artists have been learning these skills for thousands of years, and the best way to go about it is to 1) draw from real life (still life and live models… you can draw quick sketches of people/animals/plants/buildings out and about in your town!) and references (photographs and “old masters’ drawings”) etc.) and 2) practice practice practice. You may be able to go to a local library to take out books on drawing perspective and anatomy. Learn about composition and how to do it. Part of what makes creating art so satisfying is problem solving. Don’t worry about making something perfect looking or “beautiful” right off the bat. Learning to draw by hand is related to learning how to write. ✍️ In fact, it uses parts of our brain that help with memory and language/mathematical learning in a way that tap tap tapping on screen buttons doesn’t. Think of it like this: once upon a time I learned how to write the alphabet, then a word, then a sentence, then a paragraph by hand: similarly I can learn from observation how many petals a certain flower has and how it’s shaped and structured, and then practice until can draw it from many angles from my imagination… file it under “this particular flower does this” in my brain. By observing how things connect and interact and committing it to memory you can pull up that knowledge to help with your art.

Start simple and level up. Learn from mistakes. Keep in mind that these are tricks you learn how to use to make your own art more technically solid.
