30-Day Anime Drawing Challenge: Improving My Art Skills

🎨I start the 30-day challenge by drawing simple shapes and following easy tutorials.

🌟As I practice, my drawing skills improve, and I become more confident in adding details and complexity.

😅Not all my drawings turn out perfect, but I learn from my mistakes and make adjustments in subsequent drawings.

📚I discover four basic steps in drawing manga characters: creating the basic structure, adding facial features, drawing the hair, and adding final details.

✏️Sharpening my pencil and going over the main lines again greatly improve the final look of my drawings.
