/i/, where did (You) get your drawing skills from?
>>
I've been drawing as long as I can remember but I started taking it seriously when I entered middle school. It's all just about exercising the muscle so my regimine was one hour of drawing a day at least every day until today. Just simply repeatedly drawing whatever came to mind and honing that skill basically made me able to draw whatever I could imagine after a few years with relative satisfaction. My mom would give me a bunch of drawing reference books and stuff that I would also practice with and it gave me better eyes for forms and shadow. I also took some sketch classes in my later years of highschool and in a more competitive environment I was pushed to excel and stand out.
Add a couple shitty years of art classes in college and here I am drawing boobs for strangers on the internet.

did you do any kind of drills or pure exercices when you were learning or did you just draw fun stuff regularly without thinking about it too much?
I just started 2 month ago just drawing everyday, either making OCs while using references when needed or copying drawings I like, trying to vary things when I feel like it. Is this a decent method for learnind and improving long term? Cause the "recommended" method of drawing 20 thousand boxes and scratching 5 billion lines sounds awful, I can't believe people subject themselves to this.

Yeah essentially what you're doing is what I did for a long portion of my time drawing. I'd basically just fill pages of sketchbooks with anything and everything I could think of or wanted to draw while occasionally referencing material to work out how to draw certain stuff. A couple years ago I started doing stuff like anatomy studies and pose sketching but for like 80% it was just me constantly drawing what I felt like drawing. No repetitive stuff in that sense. I would occasionally fill pages with stuff like hand poses and angles to get good at drawing them specifically.
