Why telling an aspiring artist to just "practice" isn't helpful, like, at all. Its almost insulting really, assuming that the person you are talking to hasn't been practicing or trying. Also, just doing it over and over isn't all you need to get good. You need to learn certain things that you might not even know about. Instead of telling someone to just keep practicing, you should ask them specifically what they need to learn about. Like, how to get a style, how to do anatomy, etc. This advice is never helpful. NEVER.
