So basically... I reallllllly suck at drawing.
Hi! I am really bad at art. Or I guess, I've never given it a good go because I was never instantly an amazing artist (I'm one of those people who are quick to give up if I'm not good at something the first time I try *facepalms*). But that ends today! I would like to work on art a bit just for fun instead of sitting here bored watching tiktoks for hours. So I am going to post a picture a day of a cat I draw! I'm starting with cats because obvs I love cats (I'm here, aren't I?) and there are varying levels of difficulty when drawing them which I can tailor as I go. I encourage anyone to give me advice or tips! (I'll need it) and anyone else who wants to practice please post along with me!
Day 1: Here we have a shaggy-looking kitty who has very dainty paws lol.However, this was the first attempt:
Day 2: So this is my attempt at a more realistic face. It's a bit wonky and proportions was wacky but I don't mind it!Scuffed cartoon cat I tried first lol. Day 3:
This is probably one of the best drawings I've ever done and as you can see it is no where near perfect (shading is kind weird, some of the 'movement' isn't right) but I'm proud of it! I'm too scared to colour it because I don't want to ruin it lol.
I realised the tail was too long so I shortened it a bit lol.Skip a few Day '4' Sleepy kitty inspired by Mint's sleepy kitty! Only mine isn't coloured lolThis was attempt one, which I think I will go back to later. I want to try and get that head positioning C:

It's always nice to see other artists practice! It helps with building motive to practice myself ahah
I wish you luck with this! And, I don't know if it counts as a tip to not, but it's always good to step outside your comfort zone and try to annihilate the things you struggle with. Can't draw that nostril right? Angles too hard? Collect some references and start drawing those weaknesses nonstop, but make sure you don't frustrate yourself too much, that'll take a huge damper on inspiration.
