How long have you been drawing and how long did it take for you to develop your art style into the way it is now? And if you use tablet, which one do you use and/or which one do you recommend for beginners? I'm trying to learn how to draw but my skills are so bad lol Should I start with pen and paper and then do digital? I want to do digital but I'm not sure if I should do the basics on paper first.

Hello ^^

I've been drawing all my life, really, but I did graduate from a fine arts school, so I'm traditionally taught. I only started drawing digitally after I graduated, which was 3 years ago, so I'm only self-taught digitally.

My art style was actually a huge struggle for me when growing up.. I remember literally crying because all I could do was only the "academic" type of drawings. But I will say this.. definitely look for inspiration from artists you like, and don't be hard on yourself. You'll get there so make sure you have fun with it and don't be afraid to try out new things. I'm sure you'll come up with something unique just for you 🩷. And remember that we change all the time so your art style changes a lot too. Artists shouldn't contain their creativity in a box, so whatever you wanna try - try it!

As for tablets.. I'm using a Wacom Intuos Pro M, but for beginners, I'm not too sure what to suggest if you're looking for something a bit even more budget friendly. I'd say anything really works if you want it enough. YouTube helped me make my decision ^^" I just wouldn't hurry and get something very pricey if you're just beginning because in the end, they kinda all do the same thing.

As for learning how to actually do the thing, I'd say go the traditional route first. I'm not stopping you from starting digitally, but I definitely suggest getting into it with the og pen and paper. I think it's more of a "learn the rules before you break them" kind of thing. Knowing the basics, as boring as they are, is so so important. So I definitely suggest you get a sketchbook and make sure you're sketching every day ^^ From anatomy to perspective studies. YouTube, again, is an amazing place for this. Also trying out different medias like watercolour, ink, charcoal and more, can be very fun and freeing as well ^^ who knows, you might discover a new love for one of them.

(If you want a list of YouTubers I'd suggest, let me know 👌)

Whew that was a lot, I'm not too sure if it helped, but good luck✨️

Oh and little tip: when sketching some studies, don't be precious with them. the freer you are about your art, the faster you will grow ^^
