think about OP <| sep |> That ' s probably true , and while unpalatable to attribute any good to a person like this guy , it is still a relevent factor . Particularly if we compare him to a lifelong criminal like an Adrian barley type . <| sep |> Just draw ! Try different things and styles , like mangacartoons , still life , landscapes , etc . I would recommend redrawing something that another artist made or at least using something to guide you . Try different medias , too . If you ' re having trouble , look up some tutorials or references . Aim to draw something everyday . If you have artist ' s block , don ' t force yourself . Take a break if you ' re feeling your hand cramp trust me this happens a lot , if you have artist ' s block , or if you ' re just over it . And have fun ! Drawing should be something you enjoy .
