Drawing isn&#8217;t childish. Many people think drawing is childish because they believe themselves to be more adult than people who draw. But that doesn&#8217;t make it childish by itself.

Drawing requires a vast set of skills that people do not acquire at birth.

It also gets used to the drawing mistakes you make on a regular basis. Flipping your artwork makes these mistakes visible to your brain again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why do my drawings look cartoonish?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Let me dive in to the reasons!

Drawing becomes even more difficult because we tend to draw things as we know them, but not as they are. Learning to see is hard, so drawing is hard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you draw without copying?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To be able to use references without copying them, you need to learn how to read the reference.
