How To Draw

Lots of people constantly complain around me- the comments include such sentences such as 'My drawing is terrible!' or 'How do you draw so well?' and, though I understand that it's a compliment in some ways, it doesn't make me feel very comfortable.
Drawing is a great hobby. It allows you to pick up a pencil or pen and literally create any world, any character, or any story, without any words. It is, however, a skill, and like all skills, it requires practice.
If you aren't happy with your drawing skills, the only way to improve them is to practice, and it can be a lot of fun to do that practice, too!  I cannot describe the joy I have found in drawing- it is a really rewarding feeling when you create something you're proud of!
As such, I wanted to create a short little guide to teach you how to improve your drawing skills. It'll work- trust me.
Alright, first, just draw something- anything will do! Make sure it's something you like to draw and can do over and over again without getting bored of it. For me, this is any type of animals.
The next step is simply practice. Every day, draw something. There is literally no day within the last few months that I haven't drawn anything on- whether it may be a little doodle or a full-scale drawing!
Over time, compare your new drawings to your old ones. You will see improvement. I promise.
For some extra tips, go on websites such as DeviantArt and find inspiration from other types of artwork. I incorporated a type of eye into my drawing thanks to a video game, and I think it looks pretty good!
:P
Anyway, I bet that was pretty boring, but I hope it was helpful.
