Current Events > Best way to improve at drawing?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I would say don't force it and take your time. Drawing is a lifelong journey

Like most things, practice.

Just keep doing it and working on the issues that you have. If you can't draw hand or foot like rob liefeld work on it.

Take your time with one drawing.
Keep going back and working on it.
Erase the lines you don't like, draw new ones in place of them, etc
Envision what the viewer wants to see, and put that on paper.

Try to figure out which techniques make what look like what. Don't draw anything, instead, try shading, or going back to basic shapes and creating form with texture or color

There's a lot to be said here. Set a course and stick with it, or learn multiple styles vs creating your own style

generally a really good drawing is "done" when changing or covering anything "ruins" it

Conversely/related

I've recently (finally) found that quickly sketching a total garbage version of the art and then "cleaning it up" works incredibly well

Ideally everybody is excited and you find yourself surprised by your own work when you go back and look at it the next day

Idk

Practice.

I started drawing one Pokemon a day back in November and over the last few months I've seen a huge improvement in both how I draw and how I feel about what I draw.

Gotta be drawing ereday

Draw a tiny image of something (like a hand), on the same page over and over again from top left to bottom right.

By the time you've made it to the bottom right. You would've filtered out the kinks and smoothed out the edges. Now take a clean sheet of paper and draw that last image again, and this time throw in some shading... repeat the process, but add on more layers (Scaling, coloring, mirror images, etc) each time.

Tldr version: Practice on thing until you've mastered it before attempting to draw anything else you're not comfortably familiar with.

When you can "see" the color or movement

When it starts to pop off the page or paint a scene in your mind

Etc

Oh shit, Xethu's back. How've ya been, man

*keels over*
