Im going to start drawing as a kind of meditation/therapy. I currently trace around 3d models that I pose, pic is one of mine. Could i get some tips on how to improve please? Also, what is bad about chicken scratch? Should I avoid using it as I learn?

Well you can have fun with drawings patterns and don't practice loomis because you will turn into a discord /ic/litty tranny
