That’s not a weird question anon! I think a lot of people wonder if art is just something that’s hopeless for them and if they just don’t have the talent.
But art is a skill, not a magical gift bestowed only upon “true artists” by unicorns. Anyone can learn to draw so yes, if you keep drawing you will improve. And it has nothing to with how bad your art is to start with because everyone starts by making bad art. I wanted to write out a long answer for you but I don’t even know what else to say because the answer is just yes. If you practice regularly and try to do your best you will improve.
tbh though anon, don’t even worry about whether or not you’ll be good later. Just have fun drawing and learning now. Do the best you can and draw the things that you want to draw and that make you happy. I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best thing you can do.
I LOVE your blog and your side blog and I just wanna say, where have you been all my life!?

I think one of the kindest things you can do for yourself as an artist is to accept that you will make bad drawings sometimes and just…stop caring about it. It’s not like that bad sketch you drew was your one and only chance to ever draw the thing. It’s so much easier emotionally to just say “lol what is that?” delete it and start over than it is to spend the next six hours crying about it. Once you stop treating every single thing you draw as something precious and learn to just throw stuff away it takes so much stress away. One bad drawing doesn’t make you a bad artist, or a fraud. Even the best pro artists are gonna have moments where they draw things wrong. You’re going to make bad drawings so just go out there and make them so you can move on with your life. Chances are your second attempt will be better.
I’ve had this design for a little witch girl in my head for a while now and i wanted to get it figured out before i draw a full illustration with her. I still haven’t decided on a name for her yet but she’s a fortune teller (in training). Her specialty is finding lost things.
I think she ended up looking more magical girl than witch but whatever she’s still cute.
Babby’s first animation attempt feat. Lapis. I like her hair a lot…so I drew it 10 times lol.
i can’t stop drawing her
Quick material study. Angel Aura vs. Opal vs. Pearl.
I honestly didn’t plan on spending most of my day drawing Lapis but it just happened.
