Also, it entirely depends on what is defined as a 'good' drawing. Generally, people think a piece that looks realistic, true to life, is good, the more like a photograph, the better, and that good artists are the ones who can achieve lifelike art (the same happens with animation). But when drawing, one has to remeber that always representing life to the fullest isn't what makes an artist 'good' or 'bad'. I don't know what does.

Attending life drawing classes (In before "EW I CAN'T DRAW NAKED PEOPLE") is the best way to skyrocket your drawing ability. Take the classes regularly (at least once a week, more if possible) and your skill will increase exponentially.

I don't mean this harshly, but saying that a skill is attributed to "believing in yourself" is a bit of a cop-out. Some people do have raw ability, true, but the real skill comes from lots of practice and honing that particular talent. As Wallace Tripp said,

No lol I just drew my hand and some flowers. It was not THAT kind of boat.

But srsly try some contour drawings and stuff, those help a lot. Try to draw your shoe.

Aye I second Sean here, life drawing really helps. And you know.. you can some some naked chicks, mostly overweight old men though.

Remember when I posted this? Welp, out of the 600 entries 15 winners were chosen and this was one of 'em. Looks like I'll be promoted to 80.000 people plus I'm getting some sweet gear

Pencil, paper, mouse and Gimp.

Some pixel art I did for a commission today.

@Golden I like that. Very detailed. Can't imagine I'd enjoy having to work with the limitations of MS Paint like that, the color palette is quite nice.
