@JustBabyMargo how do you draw with your finger?!

I use my finger too. You just get used to it. The hardest part is certainly when you are going for a certain style, and can’t take advantage of pressure, other than that, you just do it.

A few examples.

I just used my photo editor. So there are 2 brushes: pen and highlighter. And only 5 colours... But I still can't do it
There are tons of free drawing apps you’d probably have better luck with. It might also be helpful to you if you try not to trace. You can’t really improve your art skills by tracing. You can however use a reference photo, and try to copy it instead. That forces you to work on understanding the anatomy, instead of just tracing it.

Don’t get me wrong, I trace sometimes too when I’m lazy and just want to color, but when genuinely practicing your skills and passively trying to improve them you will get so much farther referencing the photo, instead of tracing it.
