Art is a process that everyone progresses at differently! I've been drawing for about 13 years now and I'm still not as good as I want to be but whats kept me from giving up completely is that art isn't about how good it looks or your level of skill, its about the dedication and care you've put into making art
Just try thinking positively about whatever you make it helped me get better because wasn't beating myself up about how my art looked
Just try being positive okay? :o)

After practicing too long, I have a lot of tips.
One, don't try to draw anything that your brain says you can draw if you're like me, because it's probably a hyper realistic werewolf and you aren't ready for that.
Two, one's sketchbook becomes a holy Ark once one has drawn something in it and one does not allow anyone to touch it. This will only destroy your confidence.
Three, hands are your worst enemy, draw stumps for hands.
Four, Humanoid animals are easier than humans and this is because of the paws. Hands destroy many new artists, however there are many things that have no hands.
Five, tracing is okay to do until you get the hang of it. Everyone's traced at some point.
Six, the most important, do not say that your art is bad. This is a mistake I've made many times and it has made me unwilling to draw for weeks. If someone compliments it, accept the compliment, don't say that it's bad.

yeah, it takes time, and motivation will be low.
the important thing isn't making a mona Lisa, its doing things your proud of, idek you, but i believe that you can eventually make something great

It doesn't help that every time I try my mom tells me that I'll never be good at it because I'm just naturally bad at drawing

damn.. give her a piece of your mind and tell her to try to draw smth, and if she can then spit on it and then ask her how that feels
