Could use some advice on learning to draw.

I'm the person that stopped drawing at ~10 out of self conscientiousness. I've decided want to learn now as an adult.

I think there are three ways to go about it, and I would appreciate advice on which route to take (or any other advice you have).

I really appreciate the help!

@grendel84 i think a mix of all of these would be good? i mostly learned by options 2 and 3 (observing and drawing furry art) myself, with the occasional 1 from pixel/art theory stuffs (not sure i'd call it "formal", but it *is* study)

it can also help to watch other artists work or to ask how they do certain things! you might learn techniques you hadn't considered before
