Order of importance:



1.) Gesture;

2.) Proportion;

3.) Construction (including perspective);

4.) Broad details (including blocking in 2 values, lightest and darkest areas squint your eyes to make it easier to group everything into two groups);

5.) Fine detail (general rendering).



There is also only one single way to fully fail drawing: Quitting.

Otherwise, to reach any level you want, you have to always have a goal, this can be as small as you want, and an approach to that goal. It is also incredibly important to not bite off more than you can chew and do incremental things. For example, don't draw boxes if you can't draw straight lines. First draw lines until you can do them in your sleep, only then move to boxes, and so forth. Always master the simpler thing before tackling the next thing, this will free your mind and you don't have to go "Uhhh, how would a box look from this angle" while trying to study some simplified anatomy construction.

And to illustrate on the power of mileage and keeping at it, and the fact that ANYONE can be an artist:

Consider this fictional example. You're in a time dilation chamber where you don't feel hungry or sleepy as long as you draw at least one single line per "day" and you can live inside it forever, thing is, it's really boring aside from that and you want out. The only way out is to do a 1:1 reproduction of an incredibly complex line-art piece that is the size of a football field. You have to reproduce it perfectly.

Can you do it? Yes, of course, anyone can. How? Simple, you look at the very first stroke of the drawing, and you practice this single stroke, over and over and over again, until you can do it in your sleep without thinking. Then you go to the next stroke. Since you can draw the first stroke in your sleep, you can fully concentrate on the next stroke. Practice it until you can do the second stroke in your sleep.

You get where I'm heading here, right? And yes, it's true. You would inevitably be able to replicate such a crazy daunting piece. But that's fictional, real life returns are much quicker. You don't need a time dilation device to get good result comparatively quickly...if you follow the advice of mastering the simple stuff, the fundamentals first. From straight lines and good curves, to construction, to fine detail. You can do it if you keep at it. Everyone can. If you have all the body-parts required for drawing, and the minimal mental capabilities, then you'll be able to become a great artist.

Only mileage (and a good approach for practice) stands between you...but even if you only scrawled aimlessly, even that would improve you...just not with very good returns. You can become a decent amateur artist in a year if you treat it seriously and draw every day for 20 minutes. 20 Minutes is a great time-frame, you'll find out why if you do it. And you should. You can be an artist. Anyone can. I don't ven have to wish anyone luck, there is no luck involved, only mileage and practice.

What's the difference between me and a line? No matter the circumstances, with enough tries you can make the line straight!
