You're never too late to draw! Art has no set entry point, anyone can do it. Just keep at it! Practice by doodling or what ever. You'll learn as you go along.

yeah i think its more on the lines of where i actually start and can't think of anything that gets me, but i will try

i suppose 'can't teach an old dog new tricks' tends to ring in the noggin. i mean early 30s isn't THAT old but every artist i know/knew personally always started at a early age. but i suppose it's a matter of giving it proper effort regardless of age!

Hi i only really started drawing at like... 28.. 29.. i don't honestly believe ANY age is "too late" just ask people for advice.. or watch YouTube vids.. hell.. honestly just start by picking up a pencil or tablet if you've got one on hand and just try. It may not come out the way you want but at least anything you do is moving you towards getting better. Draw whatever is on your mind.. when i started it was just dumb things that came up in daily life. It never turned out how i hoped.. but i knew what i intended.. and you just keep going

yeah i went ahead and just started to draw, i managed to get something done. im gonna attempt to draw SOMETHING at least once a day, see how it goes

Even if its not once a day.. just keeping up doodling randomly helps~ <3

You aren't too old at all. And yeah that is how it usually starts with a lot of walking away from a paper and giving up, but you get back to it and draw more <3 There will be frustrations like you said and that is very natural.
And yeah there are so many tutorials out there and things to watch how to get started. Also look at speedpaints of artists you like out there to see how they get from nothing to a finished picture ^^ The longer you draw and study that stuff the easier it gets and it will be more and more things you notice in others art that you can learn.

speedpaints honestly frighten me lmao i see them and i'm just like 'what is this sorcery?!' i suppose its intimidation by those with considerably more talent than me, but its just something i gotta overcome!

If you want practice and don't have anything in mind, start with drawing things around you. Doing your own hands/feet/etc can be a good start. Especially given how many people have trouble with those particular limb enders in art. :3

yeah hands are friggen hard, even AI struggles with them lol maybe i'll draw all my characters wearing mittins! but yes good idea, think i'll work on drawing random stuff i see, should even help with the fundamentals like perspective and stuff!

Right? I was taught/told that life drawing is a great place to start before ya get all cartoony with stuff anyhow. Hope the practice goes well~ ^^

Might be a bit less than what other people have said, or even parroting a few... you're never too old to learn something, to do something, or to achieve something. Two of the best examples of that are Scatman John and Colonel Harland Sanders.

Scatman John was an amazing musician, that spent most of his life being afraid of singing due to his stutter... and when he decided to do so in his 50's, he not only created several hits, but left a legacy of inspiring people.

Harland Sanders (Yes, the KFC Colonel) Never gave up on his dream of opening a restaurant, and finally did so with Kentucky Fried Chicken becoming a franchise around the age of 75, but even before that he had moderate successes and came up with several ideas that benefited fast food production and serving.

Needless to say, anything is possible if you put your all into it. Which reminds my dumb ass that -I need to draw more- as well. Good luck, and looking forward to all that you do!

yeah gonna do my best to develop this further! that way i can draw all the things i want!

Hey, I was just browsing around the site and stumbled onto your page (and some old commissions you got from me!) and saw this, and maybe I can lend some advice if you're still looking to draw. I agree that you're never too old to start something, its just that starting anything is always the toughest step!! In order to get started...

I think the most important thing to keep in mind is embrace failure with all your heart. Draw knowing that it won't look good at first - because that's the process! Analyze your mistakes, then study methods to correcting them and then draw it again. It might still not look perfect, but after sometime of drawing, you'll reflect back and immediately see the difference between your first attempt and your latest. An art teacher once told me that you have to make a thousand bad paintings before you make a good one.

I think this goes hand in hand with the idea that confidence can get you a long way, help you pick up that pencil and will also help you experiment and try more difficult drawing subjects. Always keep in mind that no matter what you draw, with each stroke of the pencil, you're getting better. For things to draw - Look at artists that you'd like to emulate and study their work, study from life when you can and always have fun with the challenge that comes with it. Think of it like a puzzle.

Hope this helps!

Aaaa thank you for taking the time to respond! Yeah I've been more motivated than ever to try and draw for myself, though admittedly it's been on pause because tears of the kingdom has completely taken over haha

But I will take yours and everyone else's advice to heart and will be making genuine effort to learn to draw! Though I'd still like to commission you again one of these days!

Once you start, I wish you the best of luck! It can be an extremely fulfilling hobby once you get into the swing of things. and thank you! I always appreciate the support!!
