>Occasionally glance at the first pages of Fun With A Pencil and and Keys To Drawing and don't proceed further
>June to August 2019, copy anime characters with no fundies learned
>August 2019, age 17; sketch the first few examples from Loomis then give up because I wanted to draw anime shit
One of my classes for this school year was Art I; I didn't like the idea of being forced to draw a specific thing, plus I preferred drawing with pencils as opposed to using paints. It was an okay experience. I've began using block erasers when drawing as a habit from that class.
>February 2020; get a sketchbook and start sketching from art that I think look cool
>Late August 2020, age 19; decide to give Loomis another shot so I can learn the fundamentals required to later draw the things I want
Whenever I look at the homepage submissions on Newgrounds with great quality created by artists/animators in their early-mid 20s, I can't help but think "what could have been" in an alternate timeline where I consistently drew from 2013 onwards with further exploration of Flash, like "I would have so much skill by now if I stuck with it."

Is it not too late for me to "make it" if I start now at age 19 and grind fundies/draw for a specific amount of time each day consistently? Due to my final year of high school being online, I have a lot more free time on my hands. Art III is also an elective of mine this year, with weekly assignments where students draw from still objects with shadows; the experience from that could come in handy.
I've heard some anons recommend dedicating three hours a day for drawing sessions but for now I suppose I'll start small with one hour then slowly stretch it out as I progress further.

>February 2019, age 17; Copying other anime artists pictures and try apply basic construction ("just draw simple shapes lmao," no lines needed to indicate where ball is facing) to these drawings.
