Dumb art advice for people who can’t understand logic like me:
First, turn off your brain and just draw a bunch, for example you want to learn to draw hands, go on Pinterest search ‘Hands’ and just copy what you see, do this everyday for 30min-1hour, slowly you’ll get a vague understanding of how hands work
THEN, go and watch some tutorials and the learn structure of the hand. The logic and structure are important but you won’t understand anything if you don’t already have a good picture of what the thing look like in your brain.
(This method works really well if you want to learn anatomy, don’t go dig into the muscle and skeleton, draw figures first, you don’t need to know what you’re drawing you just need to have an understanding of the flow of human body, it will help you greatly later on when you really go into the structure of body)
Of course this is only based on personal experiences, you can learn the theories and then practice but that did not work for me, if I don’t have hands on experience on what I’m drawing I won’t understand a single word in the tutorial. Do what works best for you I’m just putting this out here

@steddiemas Day 25: Christmas Day
Early morning light shone softly through the bedroom window. It's rays felt warm on Steve's cheek but it was nothing compared to the heat from his boyfriend beside him. He didn't need to open his eyes just yet, allowing himself to lay in the haze between sleep and waking up.
It was Christmas, Steve reminded himself at the back of his mind. This one felt different, good different. There was something that felt more whole this year. Steve had had good Christmases since falling into his unconventional family of monster hunters. Today was different because the last missing piece of his puzzle had been found. This year there was someone to kiss under the mistletoe, hold hands with under the dinner table, and fall asleep beside tonight.
Eddie stirred next to him and Steve begrudgingly cracked open his eyes. Eddie blinked at the sunlight, ultimately deciding cuddling further into Steve was more important, Steve couldn't blame him.
"Merry Christmas, Eds," he whispered softly, carding his fingers carefully through the other boys unruly bed curls.
"I'm pretty sure I asked Santa to eliminate the sun, guess I'm getting coal for Christmas instead."
Steve laughed softly pulling Eddie closer and wrapping a leg around him. "You're on my nice list, baby."
"Guess I'm in the clear," Eddie replied, he sounded more awake now as he craned his neck to press a kiss to Steve's cheek.
"What time is it? Do we have to leave for the Byers yet?"
Steve glanced over Eddie's shoulder to look at the clock, they had time.
"It's still early, let's rest a bit longer, we need our energy for the kids later."
Eddie groaned closing his eyes again, "They're lucky they're good kids." Steve smiled and kissed his head, cuddling back down into the bed again, "Very lucky."
Later they would need to get up and ready, Joyce wanted them at breakfast after all. There would be cooking to do, presents to unwrap and the big family photo. But that was for later, for now, two boys could lay and enjoy the morning of their very first Christmas together, knowing there would be many more.
