omg im so proud and happy for you for wanting to learn !!!! (and thank you 🥹)

some technical advice i have is to first learn some basic shapes and proportions for the face and body, or just the face first if thats what you want to focus on drawing!! knowing how to lay down guidelines helps to make things less daunting and confusing

i think bluebiscuits’s tutorials on youtube are easy to digest and ive heard many beginners say they helped them a lot (link to face tut: https://youtu.be/PapnhYFf5-M?si=nu5CS5sfpAdg6ilG)

some like, more motivational advice i have is to not let perfectionism stop you from drawing what you want to draw, you dont need to learn heads and anatomy so realistically and to the finest detail before starting to draw fanart or ocs! when you have an idea or urge to draw something, just draw it. you dont have to perfect your skills and study forever before drawing for fun for yourself! that takes years 😭

idk how old u are, but i say this bc in general i feel like as u get older ppl find it harder to start bc theyre afraid to fail or think its too late, bc your standards for art are higher than if u were a kid bc at that age everything looks good LOL.

its okay to make “bad” art, just let the brainrot of wanting to draw your fav charas or ocs motivate you to get better! imagine how good itll feel to compare your skill in the future compared to now, growth and improvement feels amazing

sorry for the long yap HAHA i wish you the best of luck !!!!
