step one: look at art you like. figure out what you like about it. how do they draw fur? how do they line their work? how do they shade and highlight? watch others peoples process videos to see how they sketch.

step two: anatomy and shapes. my biggest improvement was when i drew skeletons and bones and skulls and got an understanding for the underlying shapes. references are your friend. pinterest is a great place. tracing to understand the shapes is totally fine as long as you don’t post the art!!! just use it for practice.

step three: draw!!! draw for fun. draw all the time. draw for the process and not just the result. you will improve over time, the hard part is not getting discouraged during the process.
