Drawing anime character is great

Drawing anime character is great, but if you are a total beginner to drawing in general you should start by learning the basics using pencil. Practice drawing simple things like straight lines and basic shapes. This can be boring at times but will help you improve and your hand surely practice to draw shapes without using ruler. You don’t need to stop drawing anime or anything else you might like. Simply do both. Practice drawing a few minutes a day and then draw anything you find fun or interesting.
