it’s never too late to start learning how to draw - and as frustrating as it sounds, it’s a lifelong endeavor. if you pick up the pen today, you will be experiencing the same emotions, setbacks, euphoria, and accomplishments as someone who is sitting down for the 1826th consecutive day.

Honing your observation skills is literally one of the best things you can do as an artist. Don't just see a tree, observe what it really looks like: what color is the bark, the texture? Where do the limbs begin, high or low, are they all alive, or are some limbs dead? Do they curl up or down, etc

Your man ain't shit if he doesnt recognize the importance of edge habitat and its role in maintaining biodiversity
