Drawing can be such a great hobby, just to be able to draw something you see can be very satisfying. And you do not have to be the next Rembrandt to enjoy your hobby, as long as you like what you do, and, at least that’s my opinion, as long as you keep on improving.
Practical resources for people who like to draw
By just drawing a lot you probably will get better at it, but to really improve your drawing I think you are better of if you follow some sort of course.
I will show you a couple of drawing courses that I feel could be of interest for those who want to bring their drawing to a higher level. If you are serious about your drawing I should check them out, and see if any of them could help you to improve your drawing skills.
First of all you could watch a video, in which Leonardo Pereznieto shows you how to draw a realistic face.
