Hi!
I agree that statement 'just draw everyday' is just too little.
First tackle your weaknesses for starters. There's nothing to gain by drawing the same thing that you already know how to draw.
So saying that... then you should probably gain as much knowledge as you can on topic you want to learn. Pick one at a time. There's a lot out there to learn and we can't multitask. It's really a myth. So make a list of subjects and go slowly one by one.
Let's say you pick anatomy. It's a big topic on itself. It contains actually a lot of smaller 'topics' inside. Like : head drawing, feet, hands, torso, posing, muscles, bones. You need to put a system in place, from most basic and general knowledge to most advanced. So my way would look like that: 1. proportions -> 2. gesture drawing -> 3. simplify body to geometric figure -> 4.drawing figures in space -> 5. posing figures as I would pose body, etc. .... until I would reach actually learn muscles or bones. It's very advanced knowledge that will make you a masterful draftsman but not necessarily will help you with basic problem of how to draw.
It's a process and I would suggest to see learning anything as a process. Start with making complicated topic as simple as possible. As long as you understand topic 100% you know you are prepared to learn more complicated stuff.
That's so common to see people jumping on the hardest things straight away and then giving up because drawing 'is so hard to learn'. It's as hard or as easy as we decide actually
Hope that will help a little!

Thanks. I'm one of those people who tend to take their art a little too seriously. I'm trying to jut have fun with what I'm drawing.

Yes totally! If you don't have fun in the beginning it's hard to keep up the habit of drawing. So pick topics you enjoy

hi there. Am I allowed to draw one of your drawings private at home?? I saw one, that actually would fit a character of a story of mine, and it's nice to have a face to a name..

Zawsze możesz z kimś współpacować, np. RenRou robi genialne komiksy ,a fabułę pisze z kimś innym. Często najlepsze komiksy (na dA) są tworzone w więcej niż jedną osobę

Czekam aż ktoś się sam zgłosi xD Ale tak na poważnie - nie mam nawet pojęcia jak ugryźc temat, jak zacząć i przede wszystkim za co jeść w tym czasie jak bym tworzyłą. Więc nawet luźne pomysły zostają tylko pomysłami. Ale z pewnością jakbym się zdecydowała że to warty zainwestowania kierunek, to nawet jakbym miała jeść gruz to pewnie coś by powstało

Wonderful face studies. Your drawings have a good sense of structure. The hatching goes along the form and compliments the whole. Definitely an inspiration!

I believe my favorite to be 3b though I almost always sketch in mechanical. I will have to pull them out more often. Charcoal really is my black of prefrence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I think 3B gives perfect results also

if I'm working with it I'm working BIG. Last real charcoal piece I did was 29x41. Massive space drawing of a cave. And I start with Vine, smudge it and you can hardly tell because its ash with no gum.
