When did you start/learn to draw? what would you recommend to someone starting learning? anything in specfic/what did you do?

[color="#483D8B"]I was always into drawing because of my 2 older brothers. We were all very competitive so I just kept at it because I wanted to be better then them one day! ( Wish came true XD lol ) Though my oldest brother has a bit more of a professional Background then I do.[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]*** So I would have to say the main component for any beginner is "Passion." How much do you want to get better?? IF you're very serious about it, you should not be afraid of what others have to say about your art. If you take offense to critism, it only sets you back and does not help you to grow. Even comments you think might be lame... "Pink hair would look a lot better then Brown" could have some validity.[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]*** Explore different avenues, art styles, different concepts of creativity. Do not limit yourself to just "drawing only people or objects" but try to push yourself to draw, paint, sculpt, etc. Dabble in different mediums to find the one you like most.[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]*** I did not take art very seriously (career oriented wise) until I was 19. (Late bloomer I guess) With that, I regret starting off so late and only drawing until that age as a hobby that was just for fun, but once I did turn serious, that's when I noticed the MOST improvement.[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]*** Take time to draw little details... instead of tons of loopity loos to make CHAINmail.... draw the chain mail.. LINK by LINK by LINK.... (It consumes a lot of time but the end result is very satisfying)[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]And that's about all I can think of right now...[/color]
