aaah thank you! u///u
as for tips if you're new to drawing, here's a few off the top of my head:
- draw in a wide range of styles, not just anime style, but also realism, comic book, cartoon, etc. a lot of people say you should start from drawing realistic style only, but i think that can be unnecessarily boring, especially if you're drawing as a hobby. when you're drawing different styles, you can learn new things even if you don't draw it again.
- learn about the basics about lighting, shape, space, colours, etc. like when you're drawing a body, break it down into basic shapes like cylinders and cubes. i think it's important foundational skills to have for drawing, and you'll have to learn them sooner or later :)
- always try new things! i think i've said this before, but trying to draw new types of things, like planes, animals, cars, or trying new methods or mediums for drawing can be incredibly helpful, even if you feel like you won't succeed at it. like, even if you draw a bad plane, you'll still end up learning things from it and you'll come away from it a bit better at drawing than you were before.
i think those are probably some of the biggest things i can think of? but honestly, do whatever makes you happy! for a lot of people, improving at drawing makes them happy, but if at any point you feel like it's boring or annoying or exhausting, just go back to drawing whatever makes you happy! i hope that helps somewhat :D
