These two on the left are two of my cherished drawings. Not because of the greatness or skills they exhibit but because if it weren& #39;t for these two, the ones on the 2nd and 3rd wouldn& #39;t have existed.
Age isn& #39;t the focus here but even during the time of the creation of these, people around me thought it was bad/not good enough - "that it wouldn& #39;t amount to something. "
So I had to take it upon myself to support my hobby since no one would do it for me.

These 2 drawings didn& #39;t garner attention or support I would have wanted as someone who just started drawing and sadly it even became a source of ridicule from classmates, family and friends.
"Anybody could draw better than that. She even displayed it on the walls of her room

Of course it hurt, I cried my eyes out the first few times. Thankfully my desire to draw was greater. (Aside from the fact that i wanted to slap on their face that I can improve) I fell in love with drawing.
I fell in love with creating worlds and characters, creating stories and communicating outside the use of words (as you might have known, I& #39;m not good at talking to people through... words)
I also realized early on that the only way to get better at this, is to keep going. So I did. I practiced AND studied. I kept moving forward.
Drawing is a skill. Undeniably, talent exists in this world and it makes it easier for some people to produce high quality works. But it doesn& #39;t mean that because you were born "without obvious talent" you can& #39;t make good drawings. You can, as you can see exhibit A, yours truly.
You just have to keep moving forward. Keep moving forward in a pace that suits you.
Everybody& #39;s learning pace and improvement varies so don& #39;t be disheartened if someone you started drawing with "improved faster". Focus on your journey instead. Focus on your strengths and what you can improve on.
There might be a lot to work on at the start and it can get overwhelming but go at it step by step. As long as you& #39;re enjoying drawing and learning, no "bad drawing" is a failure.
If it didn& #39;t turn out the way it was in your head. It& #39;s okay. It happens. Study it and ask yourself "Why does this doesn& #39;t look good to me? Is there anything I can to change/improve on".
Anyway, I don& #39;t have any clear goal on where this thread would go but aaa if you& #39;re an artist that& #39;s just starting out, I& #39;m cheering you on! It might be tough right now and for awhile but I hope you don& #39;t give up and have fun for a long time!!
Drawing has been a source of joy, comfort and peace for me and I hope that as you begin your creative journey, you get these as well~
People might tell you
"Well I can do better than that"
but did they ACTUALLY do it?
no, YOU DID.

Whatever you create was just a thought but now it has taken a form, isn& #39;t that amazing already?
Anyway as Jimin has said
"You nice, keep going!"

And if ever you& #39;re in need of some motivation, may I recommend one of my fave songs in the world.
