Edit. I put the picture of my little bird in the comments. I can't see where to attach on mobile to the main post.
I've been learning to draw for about 6 months now, on and off. A tree destroyed half of my house in a storm, and that's the only time I took off a month to, well, survive. We had to evac. Even three months after that, we still don't have full power. I have to practice drawing before the sun goes down haha.
I say all that because after all this time I just kept at it the best I could. And today at work, I doodled a little bird head. It's not great. But it's not half bad! I don't know shading or textures yet, but I used big planes to map it out and then refined it the best I could. 
If someone out there is on the fence about their work and they think it's "bad", PLEASE KEEP GOING. You'll never know how good you can be if you stop, or how much joy it can bring you.
Just pick up the pencil, even when you're supplies are covered in dirt and soot from your house collapsing. I love you all and I love this site!
