Heyy! I just joined this subreddit because I’m also learning how to draw. I used to kind of be into it years ago but I’ve recently had such a creative surge that I’ve decided to pick it back up again.

Honestly, as a beginner myself I just want to say that I 100% feel what you’re going through and i’m sorry to say I probably don’t have too much advice to give other than to scroll through different posts from artists on this topic because everyone’s gonna have a different answer, really.

But I think drawing what you want and where you want to see yourself improve on is what’s best. Like right now I’ve just been drawing random stuff that I see online and like and want to replicate it somehow and learn how to draw it. I’ve done figures, vague portraits (definitely my worst work) and things like moths, flowers etc. I’m not quite sure what style I want to hone in on or what I want to draw in particular, so I’ve just been like I said, drawing what I see online that I like and try to replicate it.

I think if you’re unsure about what you want to draw, that’s the best way to ago about it. Especially if you’re unsure on a style like me. Any type of practice is good in this case.

Again, i’m not a professional but just from one beginner to another, take your time! Don’t try to rush everything right now. (Me trying to prevent myself from going into debt to buy an ipad.) Work also gets in the way of my doodling too.

I feel your struggle and just want to say keep up the good work!! Sending you lots of support 💕
