I've been drawing for four weeks and need help.
So, I am an absolute beginner at drawing. I started four weeks ago and feel completely stuck. I’ve tried drawing things around me—objects from my surroundings, images from the internet, or illustrations from books—but the results look absolutely terrible. That’s why I searched for tutorials on YouTube, but the advice I keep getting is always the same: "Just draw." However, I’m not seeing any improvement. Around day 14 or 15, I started practicing by drawing cubes, lines, circles, and cylinders, and I gave it another shot today. It still looks incredibly dismal. Honestly, I don't know how to proceed; I don't know what I should be drawing to actually see some progress, or what I should focus on next. I originally wanted to share some images I like to illustrate the style I’m aiming for, but as I understand it, that would be against the rules. So, I’ll just say that the aesthetic I’m going for is similar to that of anime, or video games like *Genshin Impact* or *Zenless Zone Zero*. Can anyone here help me out and tell me what I should do?
