Q&A for How to Practice Drawing

Practice doing things like blind contours where you look at something and draw it without looking at your paper. This can help you get better at drawing what you see rather than how you think something should look.

Set aside some time to practice every day. You can draw what you see or work on specific skills like proportions.

Often in a set of tonal/artists pencils, they will be numbered at the top. These pencils don't have to be expensive - you can find them in supermarkets or discount stores, or better quality ones in art or stationary shops.

3D isn't that hard. There are many easy ways to learn it. I myself started with letters and numbers, and watched a lot of videos on YouTube. Once you've got those down, try a simply object like an apple. Then practice drawing shadows. If you work at it enough, you'll definitely find that it gets easier.

You may have just reached your full potential! But I find the best ways to improve are trying to copy simpler designs (like cartoons), working from still life, watching videos of other people’s techniques, and doodling throughout the day. Art classes, if you've not already taken some, could help you explore new techniques that could lead to improvement.

Apps can't really improve your drawing, but practicing can help you get better. Some good apps for drawing practice are ibisPaint, SketchBook, and many more!

Everyone learns and grows at their own pace, and there is no such thing as a perfect artist. All of us make mistakes every single time we draw. That's what erasers and undo buttons are for. The more you practice, the faster you'll improve!

Try searching online for "draw anime anatomy". If that doesn't work, you might have to learn normal anatomy first, and then play around with proportions to make it more anime-style.
