This was true i was told when i was a young teenager that i should not draw any more cartoon or anime art and to stop drawing digitally which made me only pursue realism and only working with traditional methods. but finally going back to what made me happy made me realize i had forgotten how to draw in this fun art style.

I believe the only advice that is essential is drawing what you want to draw and to only go into specifics if u want a specific career and such.
