How to learn LITERALLY anything
1. Figure out if you really like what you’re doing - Are you practicing drawing? Dancing? Any activity that you want to learn will cost you TIME so the first thing you’ll need to do is literally figure out if you like it or not. Ask yourself: Can I really spend one year? (Hell, even a decade) learning this or spend a year figuring this out? If you think you are well continue with it.
2. Never EVER compare yourself with others - May it be any field. You don’t go compare yourself with other professionals because it’d make you discouraged. really. Remember that an infant learns how to walk for YEARS.
3. INSPIRATION IS MOTIVATION - You have to figure out WHY you’re doing that. The ‘why’ is an inspiration and you need to have a solid goal because you’ll face the ‘i don’t want to do this anymore’ ‘im not improving’ ‘i suck’ phase so you need something that you should think about if you get these kind of thoughts so you can conquer them.
4. REFERENCE!!!!!! - These doesn’t only apply to artists but to aspiring writers, dancers and people who want to play instruments (etc!) as well. Instead of comparing yourself to professional people. watch them. Read a book, watch someone dance, watch someone play something and OBSERVE HOW THEY DO IT. This will make you exposed to accuracy and you can get know-hows by watching these.
5. PRACTICE DO NOT MAKE PERFECTION - I’m sorry to break it to you but practice do not make perfection. Instead of just practicing you need to reference, analyze, and do things. You don’t just practice an upper cut punch one hundred times a day and think your punch would get stronger? You exercise, stretch and practice the punch. I hope you get the gist.
6. Hard things are great things - If you’re having a hard time doing a spin, shading a portrait, sing a G#5 note, write a dialogue tag, or anything that means it’s beyond your skill and facing these things would make you improve. You don’t say “I can’t do this” and cry in the corner. You say “I can’t do this” while crying and doing the thing. The first time might mess up but if you keep doing that you’ll master that too.
7. A FRIEND - You need someone (preferably someone who is already professional in the thing you’re trying to learn) who you can trust that would become someone who records your improvement. You show them things you do and get serious feedbacks or sometimes rant at them. I promise it’s worth it.
8. PATIENCE!!!!!!!! - You won’t improve just because you want to. Patience.
REMINDERS: Learning that thing you want to learn always remember that it’s a LONG TERM THING and you should commit your life to it. You may find it hard but it could give you advantages. We as a baby literally spent two or three years to learn how to walk and talk so literally go for it!!!!!!!!
