~~Does color theory count?~~
I started drawing digitally some years ago, but my rate of improvement was quite slow, and at one point I quit trying to draw for an entire year due to frustration with my inability to pick up coloring in a single week. What I drew here is by no means top-class, but when I started I never imagined being good enough for even this.
I wish to keep improving this skill forever, but alas, drawing Lenins will not put food on the table. Although I wonder if one day I'll be skilled enough for my drawings to actually do that.
By the way, I wish to rant about outlines for a bit. When I started drawing I initially attempted to replicate an anime-ish style, however, what always stood in the way is the "lineart phase" after the sketch phase. I was never able to get it right, and I always thought it was a waste of time anyway because the sketch itself always looked much more lively, not just that, BUT OUTLINES DON'T EXIST IN REAL LIFE! But hey, at least now I can draw anime girls too, I guess.

Drew this one in November last year, I barely learned how to put color on the digital canvas and I attempted to draw architecture for the first time, the result is asymmetrical, a little off balance, and lacking in detail, but I am still proud of it.

Where the daylight peeps thro' like the glint of the moon,
And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The owls sit in council, Like prophets of fate,
Discussing grave questions of kingdom and state.
They wink and they blink, And they blink and they wink,
Till moonight grows black and commands them to flit
With a "Shoo! To-whoo!" and a "Whirr! Tu-whit!"
-Louis Wain
