I hit a BIG block in my journey as an artist. i dont know what to draw, i dont know how to draw, i dont know how to improve and i dont know how or what to learn. It feels like i have no future in art if i dont find a way to keep going folward. I could use any advice you have about art, line art, details, color theory and free courses that I could use to improve even a little. Any help I will highly appreciate it 🙂
#Art Block

Art is a skill that is obtained through practice and determination. Don’t think that you have no future in art. Remember that anything is possible. I would say YouTube and Pinterest is the best way to learn art. Try to follow one single tutorial (or sets of them but from one channel). After you get the base of art, find your style. Maybe make one of your own or look through art styles on Pinterest and see which suits you the best. At least do one drawing a day to keep things in flow.
The more you practice the better
You can become an artist in a week!
I will find tutorials on yt to help you out

You know how to draw 2d squares, rectangles, circles?
You said you practiced them before

O
Then i recommend you draw more of these 2 shapes
And what is the middle shape?
regal basin
it should have been a square but its more of a rectangle
vestal steeple
it should have been a square but its more of a rectangle
Yea...
That is why I pointed it out
So
You have an assignment now
You are gonna practice these 2d shapes
Circle, square, rectangle, triangle
Until you are comfartable with them
Basicaly not taking 5 tries
And do not try to make every shape to be perfect when practicing
If it is wrong move on
And dont do the same mistake
Mistake is a part of the practice
Any confusion, question
@ me or dm me
regal basin
well guess i know what im doing the rest of the day
Thanks @vestal steeple for the help and advice, i really appreciate it
vestal steeple

Once you are comfortable with them (to the point that when you pick up the pen and draw one of these shapes you would be hella sure that you wont have to erase it a 5 times)
Then the practice would be over
