How do I learn to draw? I feel like I need a hobby, right now I feel like not a complete person without one. Just something I can do that other people can appreciate, I want to feel useful!
So how do I do it? Pic relates, I would like to be able to draw cute anime one day.
Also what tools do I need? Can I draw really nice with only a pen?

A pencil/paper is all you really need. Learn anatomy first before you start developing style or else your proportions will be fucked. I hope you have the discipline to practice daily or else you're going to plateau, hard.

/ic/ is harsh, but art is a cruel mistress. Don't give up anon, you still have time to practice and improve. If you look at some improvement timeline threads on /ic/ you can see some people make huge leaps and bounds in a few months. Dedicate an hour or so a day to practicing. The people you see who are good didn't get there without blood sweat and tears.
>tfw used to draw anime in high school
>had an instagram account where I'd upload my drawings
>would get hundreds of likes on my picture
>one day just gave up
>haven't drawn in years
I wonder what would've happened if I continued drawing. Maybe I would've been able to make money off it it or something

Anon... come on now.

You should pick it back up anon, you could always do commissions on the side if you're good enough. If you're into degenerate kinks that's a bonus, people who do those commissions make a decent amount.

>>haven't drawn in years
Same desu, dont even know why, but I am regretting it
Yet the time spent not drawing and my skills wasting away makes me less motivated to pick it back up because I think of all the time that has gone without me doing it, its the same like this with certain vidya games as well for me
If anyone has steam and wants to be a drawing buddy let me know please
I want to pick up drawing again but lost all motivation to do anything over a year ago

This. Also the reason I stopped at the time was because I was stressed, and it's very difficult to have such a precise hobby that requires concentration when you feel like shit
