Sup /i/,

I am using a touchpad which totally sux and want to buy a tablet. However, I don't want to spend $100 if I'm going to totally suck at art forever (Pic related, best I can draw without a reference). Aside from the obvious "Practice", what are good ways to improve art and or is it possible to improve from where I am to a level where I could be considered "good"?

tl;dr, how to drawed good?

practice. Seriously. Just draw what you think you're bad at over and over. You look like you have an okay grasp of anatomy, but you could definitely use help coloring. Just lots of practice makes you better. Even if you suck now, practice won't make you worse. You'll learn things eventually. Depending on your age, take an art class at school or community college.

Are you older than 14? If so, you're probably too old.

Alright. I'll probably just practice on paper, because it is a fucking pain to use this touchpad. Everything wants to go in a straight line. I probably won't do a class since it's more of a hobby. I think the pic in OP is probably a bad representation of my shading ability, not that it's great.. but I can do a lot better than that.

why are you trying to make him think that his anatomy does not suck?

like it's any better than yours. I'm just saying that he has a better grasp than most people starting out.

I'm no expert or drawing goddess, but with my pics i draw, I start with shapes and work my way from there. Visualize the body as shapes ^_^

I would make something, haven't tried with Oekaki yet, plus i too have a touchpad mouse (which sucks at EVERYTHING)

I might be interested to try it sometime, but expect mass suckage.

*sigh*, so many kids think school is just for learning howto make money. It's also for learning things to help you enjoy life. Your life's purpose isn't to make money and win the game.
so just fucking do it faggot

OP here, I have self-schooled myself since age 13. No need for shitty assumptions here. I just learn better when I'm not being held up by a class of people.

Actually, I said aside from "practice", because that's the obvious one. I never said I was unwilling to practice, I was looking for tips to help make practicing more effective.

tips: draw lots. personally, I copy from photographs and real life. go to a mall or something and draw people you see standing around or take pictures and draw from those. take a beginning drawing class at a community college.
