Ah well i am mostly self taught! although i did learn a lot from others, just not in a normal school setting (i actually was known for beefing with my art teachers quite a lot fhsjbfjsbc).
I'm a practical learner, i try stuff out and keep what i like, but i think on that way sycra on YouTube has helped a lot in the early years. i remember him saying in one video that your favorite artist is yourself and i still think that it's one of the most profound things i heard someone say about art. i create bc i love to, i am my favorite artist. Of course i have other favorite artists, beside myself, but i do love my art, even if it's sometimes not quite how i want it to be.
he also said that improving in art is like taking a tiny row boat out to sea. the further you get from the shore, the harder it is to see how far you've come! those were the things that shaped me back then, when all i drew was edgy teen angst art about gore and robots and the german youtubers i liked to watch :')))
and since he has more of a theorist approach i learned quite a lot about why things look good that way. understanding why you do something is incredible, bc then you can use that purposefully!
but anyway, yeah. my wisdom for any artist is to draw anyway. don't let yourself be frightened by the seemingly impossible. every piece you create forms you, the time you spend is not a waste, even if you're dissatisfied. you are your own favorite artist. and if you're not yet, you will be <3
