    @kr-lalonde I used to think the exact same thing until I found that same book DeepRun mentioned. I spent most of my early teenage years trying and trying to draw manga through garbage books through the library, convinced that if I just kept vaguely “working” at it, I would gradually improve…

    Which didn’t happen, because only perfect practice makes perfect and I had no idea what I was doing =P

    Reading and performing the exercizes in DotRSotB made me realize that I needed to learn what to do before I could do it.

    Drawabox dot com actually gave me the what-to-do. Three hours into those exercises I realized all those years of previous “practice” were useless =P

    Please don’t quit before you’ve even begun.

    Aside from creative art, you said you like painting things? Though it’s not my favorite part of the hobby, I paint some miniatures for wargaming, and I know that people who develop their painting skill to a high level can command huge commission fees. Is that something you’ve ever considered?
