when did you start drawing?? i really like your art style and it inspires me to try and draw too but i feel like its kind of too late for me… im 17 and really cant draw anything without it looking weird and idrk how to do basic anatomy and stuff along those lines 😣
waaa its such a high compliment to hear my style inspires someone thank you 🥹🥹🥹 i started really drawing when i was maybe 8 or 9, though i don’t think i really took it seriously (as in made goals for myself and a proper effort to improve) until i was 13 (i am 18 now)! regardless it is never too late to start and most definitely not impossible to improve, especially since the internet makes so many art resources accessible to us now!! use them!!
some advice!! you will want to study the basics like anatomy, color theory, composition and so on, focus on that over developing a “style.” everyone says this, especially about art, but its true—practice makes progress!! draw as much as you can!! use references (don’t be afraid to trace!), color palettes, and any other tools like brushes, guides, etc., at your disposal. most importantly be patient with yourself and your progress and have fun! try new things! challenge yourself! drawing is definitely hard work, but it’s also a great way to have fun and express yourself, it’s never too late to pick up a new creative outlet <3 i hope this helps 🥹
