I was asked recently how i draw so well and what tips i can give to help ones drawing skill improve, so here goes.
The biggest and most important and probably the only tip one needs is this, if you want to get better at some thing then do it and do it allot. I have been drawing since i was like 5, then i started taking it more seriously in Jr High and decided its what I want to do as a job in highschool, and now i'm 26 and I try to draw every day. So I have been drawing for roughly 21 years. In one of my collage classes I had to read an article called "The 100,000 hour rule" to give you the gist of it, to be a master at any thing you have to have done it for 100,000 hours.
So yeah you wanna get better at some thing just do it and dont give up

Should I stay
I was talking to a friend awhile back and he was thinking of celebrating 20 years of doing art online, and suggested I do the same. I had looked into it and I have been on DA for 21 years, more than half my life, but instead of celebrating I have been thinking of leaving DA. See the people in charge of DA doesn't care about art any more, if they ever did. I keep getting notifications about how awesome it is that these AI D-bags made thousands in just a year selling their images. The most I have ever gotten from DA in terms of acknowledgement is them telling me to go say hi to newbies cuz I have been here so long. I don't cuz as this point I feel like I would just tell them to get out now. Also have to deal with moronic bots on an almost daily basest. "I like your art, I wanna use it as inspiration, i will pay you money" my "blocked" section is exploding with these assholes. I haven't decided on if I will leave but I might at least just start not posting my art here any more. I will
What about Cash app?
People keep asking me about commissions and the thing is I kind of stopped doing them because I sort of stopped trusting Paypal. A friend of mine though uses Cash app for their commissions and seems to really like it, so I have been thinking of trying that. I was also wondering do any of you know any thing about cash app? Like is it really good for commissions? Is there any thing i need to know before using it for commissions? Any info would be helpful thank you.
Damn bots
Due to the absurd amount of bots I get in my DMs and notes I don't respond to them any more. I do look but seeing as I'm never sure what's a bot and what isn't I'm just refusing to respond to any unsolicited DMs and notes. Also just so any one wants to ask in a note or DM. No I don't do requests, and no i'm not taking commissions, my commission status can be found at the top my page. I only do commissions on my Patreon now, and I dont do requests cuz thats not fair to the people that pay me for art. I also only do art trades with people Im close to, as in I have know them for many years. Ok I think that's all, sorry if any one was made to feel ignored I know how bad that feels that being said until things improve that's how it has to be.
A friend is open for commissions
:Before anyone asks, No I'm not open for commissions. I just want to help promote a friend of mine who is open for commissions. They mostly make 3d images, so check out there stuff and consider commissioning them if you like what they do https://www.deviantart.com/yasha-k

Practice makes the perfection.
What you said is absolutely true. I do draw for around 8 years (even if not so often..)
Today I have a good skill level (at least that's what people say
), but I really sucked at it when I started. I came to this level after a lot of practice, and that's the only reason for it.
