Looking for fellow beginners.

Hey, im looking for beginner artists who are in the process of learning art. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining a discord were we could share our work progress and discuss improvements as well as doing regular exercises, looking at our favourite artists and have many other topic discussions,
Basically think of it as a classroom and getting to know and grow with other fellow students.
Not a very active thread, but if fellow level 1 beginners want to reach out, please do so!
As someone pretty early in the journey, it's not only inspiring but also intimidating to see much of the art shared here, while uploading my own sketches that look like the work of a 14 year old. Or to put it in the attached picture of a cow: It feels like trying to eat a whole meadow, while mainly producing crap. ;-)
It's also exciting to know that the cow would've looked a lot crappier pre-proko - and since I'm only 1/4 through the basics course, this is really only the beginning of improvement. But... yeah, it does feel a bit lonely among so many aspiring artists.
Because, to be honest, I don't see myself as an artist - and I don't know whether I'm ever going to (or even want) to be one. I'm a software engineer and I love that job. I just also like to use drawing for coping emotionally, and it sucks to not being able to put stuff on paper in a way that looks good.
So, if anyone else is still trying to figure out a purpose, a style, and just how to make sketches not look like crap, feel free to share these first steps in the journey. :-)
it's a good idea to have some people who share the same interests as you and who can help each other in developing and improving their art skills. Count me in :)
