don’t have to finish it in 30 days take ur time with it
when ur first starting out it’s important to make sure draw as a practice so u can get better but have sketches that u do for fun as well so u can see ur improvement and for enjoyment sake as well
you’ll get burnt out eventually if u only practice or force urself to draw every day when u don’t feel like it.

Do it everyday
Consistent effort trumps all other skills imo
I had a sketchpad i got in April of last year, and i would occasionally doodle in it
Come summertime I had a lot of free time, energy, and emotions I could sublimate into creativity.
I started forcing myself in front of my sketchpad every few hours, just to get used to it.
Then I started drawing more. And editing more. And adding more to stuff. And making multiple drawings of the same thing to compare.
THEN i started asking questions. How does lighting affect x? What if I rotated it?
Once I had an established desire to know more, it was deadass like starting a lawn mower and watching my creativity eat up pages like grass and Id say now almost a year later I know more, draw more, and honestly id say im getting pretty good
been thinking abt doing so myself i took art so many yrs in school but never retained any info no matter what it was
when I started drawing I did so by putting the paper on a screen and drawing a few base lines of the shapes so I can have the measures right
it's all about practice and drawing anything possible, not just getting stuck on a style
