I'd post a little bit of my art except I'm shit at drawing.
OK, just one piece.

Not posting any artwork for now but I'm curious, how did you all get 'good' at drawing? Do you all just practice? What sort of tutorials/resources do you use to improve?

i feel weird and arrogant replying to this because i'm gonna assume i'm good...
but basically, it's definitely practice. i myself haven't practiced much because my improvement has been over the years just from me drawing excessively and improving without even realizing it. i would recommend /ic/ but they're an extremely harsh bunch. if you look around on there though, there's tutorials and references and downloads for pdfs

I downloaded a bunch of art stuff months ago when a figured I'd start learning (I never got round to it obviously), but I forget if I managed to find any of the programs mentioned.
That and saved a bunch of guides/advice links on a word document. I should look into finding it.

I'm not saying I'm good here, but when it comes to drawing hands and shit like that, I literally use photos of my own hands as references. I just open up my webcam software, hold a prop if necessary, and take it from there.

I fucked up and the final product took hours to complete. To compensate it I made it my avatar.
The joke isn't really relevant as it was last night when i started working on it in response to a subject that was being discussed in chat at the time.
There's still a lot of mistakes I haven't even bothered fixing because I'm just kinda exhausted by the fact I messed up so much on this thing that was meant to just be a shitty one off joke doodle.

I made an equally rushed out sequel to the Joke image that took four fucking hours. It's not even relevant to the joke that the first one was supposed to be in response to, but I kinda felt it just needed to be done for the full wikihow prank master experience. Still can't color in my own lines for shit on art programs.
EDIT: made a shitty thing in the same vein as those wikihow edits in response to current events.

Messed around with expressionism and impressionism trying to find what best works for me. Blah. I wish I could do realism paintings.

Practicing Photoshop, made this:
I'm thinking of animating this into a gif, anyone have any tips or shortcuts?

I don't have photoshop, but if the export/save process is anything similar to what I have this might help.
If the sign thing is on another layer and you just want it to mildly flicker you can just make a slightly darker/lighter layer below or above the previous one and then save the animation to have the layers "accumulate" with the base layer being the bricks. Alternatively if it's all on elayer, or you want to do a different thing entirely You should probably make a new layer for each one.
Of course you could just mess with the brightness and contrast of the image too if you just want tit to be sloppy.

Thanks for the advice! I'm probably going to have to separate the letters into more layers and settle the nightmare that is keying each frame. I was hoping there would be a shortcut so i wouldn't have to do that but it looks like I'm gonna have to :/ Heck it may just be faster to redo the image. The big thing for me is having the lighting be adaptive and to spread. Here is an example I whipped up:
I can have each letter illuminate no problem but having the ambient light change with the letters is something else I'm stuck on. Right now the glow around each letter is a separate layer that I painted the glow effect onto. In the "Sorry For Double Posting" image the ambient light is just am adjustment layer with a solid color.
EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

You said it.
Furthermore, beware of motivational pitfalls - Matt Kohr had a bunch of very useful videos about that subject. Also note that motivation tends to jump up and down as you improve, so don't get discouraged along the way.
