New and need some guidance

[YashBoone]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get a thread going. This is my first. I just joined literally 10 minutes ago.

Basically, i have been teaching myself to draw, and im slowly getting a little better, but I wanted to get some advise from this community.

What are some good ways or some good exercises, or just advise in general that I can follow that would help me to get better at drawing?

I know this question has probably been asked alot, but im just looking for a little guidance from a pro. Particularly someone who has struggled but stuck with it and got better.

Just practice! It's annoying to hear that over and over, but set up still lifes, ask your friends to pose for you, take a sketchbook to the park. If you do something long enough you at least get a little better at it. The only difference between you and a "real" artist is the time and effort put into it.
