I keep trying to learn to draw but I simply suck at it no matter what. I’d love to learn how to draw all kinds of things like architectural drawings, or cute designs, etc. But I can barely even copy something if I have the picture right in front of me.

I’d like to take a class that teaches the basics of drawing that I could follow along with using Procreate or something. Does anyone have good recommendations for someone who seems unable to gain any proficiency at drawing?

    People think you go to art school and the teachers there teach you how to draw. It’s not a technical school, you’re not a pencil operator. The teachers teach you how to look at what you’re drawing and what you’ve drawn. You are responsible for teaching your hand how to draw. Draw often, draw everything, draw always.

    I found fairly early in my art career that I didn’t really love drawing and didn’t really care that my drawings were a little crude. I found greater enjoyment in other artistic endeavors and so did them instead.

    TL;DR draw more.
