wow, that’s a heck of a question. i do appreciate that you like my art, and i’m certainly not gonna kill you for asking (?!), but i’m not sure i’m the right person to be answering this. still, if it helps anybody, i’ll try and explain how i got to where i am. take it all with a grain of salt though! becoming better at art is different for everybody.

first, to answer your concrete question, i never went to art school. the only professional art training i’ve had were a few classes between high school and college. instead i got most of the useful advice i’ve accrued about drawing and art from talking to people online, listening to feedback, and participating in criticism and discussion. so i guess you’d call me self-taught.

as for learning how to draw “so well”… i think the most important thing is to make yourself happy with your art. you can use that to figure out what you want to be better at, then go improve at those things. using myself as an example, i love cartoons (especially french and japanese). so i both study from reality (the basis of the cartoon) and from my favorite artists (the stylization). i love monsters, so i have a huge gallery of creature designs & pictures of animals saved on my computer that i browse for inspiration. i could go on but you get the point.

now, i could instead go become a traditional romantic painter and, after much practice, create gorgeous landscapes and portraits that really impress people (cartoons don’t impress most people as much lol). but that would be me drawing for others, so it would never really be my art. does that make sense? create what you want to see. be your own favorite artist. if you don’t know what you want to create, ask yourself what you’d like to experience.

the final thought i want to leave off on is that you can become an artist and create the things you want. it takes time, motivation, and a blend of passion and perseverance, but you can! and there’s no use comparing yourself to another artist in the sense of “i’ll never be as good as them.” of course you won’t, any two given artists in any medium are apples and oranges, they can’t be compared. don’t be sad about what only they seem to be able to do, be happy about what only you can do. that’s how you can create something truly unique, your art.

haha… sorry for the long answer. but i really hope it helps. thanks for the question!
