So the more you do every day, the faster and the better you will become.A good idea is to fill up a sketchbook a month, at minimum. Continue to do that if you want to get better at drawing. You will be amazed at how quickly you progress over time. If drawing is something that you want to get better at, you could consider getting a job that requires you to draw. That way you would be guaranteed to get at least 8 hours of new practice in a day.

Slow and steady wins the race. This is especially true when it comes to drawing. And you want to make sure that you always cleanup your work, whether it be with a pencil, a brush or crow quill, you want to go slowly. It's just like practicing a new musical instrument. You start off as slowly as you can without making mistakes, then when you get better through practice you can speed up. Go as slowly as is necessary to have control over what you're doing on the page. This is especially important when you are trying to do ink ellipses and other curves freehand. This is true of any drawing technique that you do, whether you are using a drawing pad for digital imaging or drawing with pencil on paper. Take your time at new drawings, and you will improve over time. Most will carefully and deliberately chunk out the ellipse with smaller controlled ink strokes.

It is always important when studying a new skill to study the fundamentals. Study all of the best books and trending videos on perspective, construction, on anatomy, rendering, and color theory. Go to live figure and life drawing classes, weekly, if possible. Go to the zoo every week if you can, if you want to learn to draw animals. Discover where you live, try drawing landscapes if that is what you love. Go to parks, draw, paint, just practice every chance you get.
