🎥 Look How Far I Came in Just One Year — June 2024 to June 2025

This video shows my journey from basic sketches to realistic portraits. Let it inspire you to start small, keep going, and see how much progress one year of practice can bring. ✨

📝 Improving at Drawing Takes Practice — Not Perfect Talent

Improving at drawing isn’t about being born with talent — it’s about practicing regularly. One of the most powerful things you can do for your art is to draw every day, even if it’s just for a short time. In this post, we’ll look at how small, consistent efforts can lead to big progress over time.

🕒 Make Time, Not Excuses

Even if you’re busy with school, work, or family, try to carve out just 30 minutes a day. This might be early in the morning, during lunch, or before bed. Set a timer and treat it like an appointment with yourself.

You don’t have to create a masterpiece every day — a simple sketch or shading practice is enough.

📺 Learn by Watching

On days when you feel stuck, watch a drawing tutorial. Focus on just one part — maybe how to draw an eye, or how to shade a sphere. It’s a great way to stay inspired and pick up new techniques.

✏️ Then, Try It Yourself

Don’t stop at watching — always try the technique immediately. Even if it doesn’t turn out perfect, the act of doing is where the real learning happens.

✅ Summary Tip

Progress doesn’t come from perfect drawings. It comes from drawing regularly — even on days you don’t feel like it — and learning something each time you put pencil to paper. If your drawing doesn’t turn out the way you hoped, don’t give up. Try it again — each time you’ll get a little better.
