How I Started Drawing
I don't know exactly when I started to draw.
My dad always bought me pencils and other drawing materials, and I always loved them.
One thing I would do to sharper my skills when I was younger, and I think helped me a lot with perspective and proportion, is to "copy" other images.
I am not saying to literally copy the image!
It wouldn't help you.
I am saying to print a picture; it can even be a photo - the simpler, the better (at least when you are in the beginning) - and grid it with 1cm×1cm squares (bigger or smaller according to the difficulty of the image).
And do the same with an A4 paper, or utilize a grid paper and pass the image.
Not put one above the other.
Copy by eye.
It will probably be hard at the start, but the lines will help a lot, and soon you will be able to draw more detailed and elaborated pictures.
The more you draw, the better you will be.
Remember: practice brings perfection.
Someone that can't draw doesn't exist; what exists is someone that doesn't practice enough or still didn't find the right way to study.
