well and some practice, but there just doodles!

I NEVER LEARNED i just love it, im only 13 so im not that good but im gonna get better, im priitty sure LOL

Other. 4 options that you put I learned it as one: Practice, Tutorials and Guidebooks, Artwork reference and... creativity and imagination, jeje

All above other. . .

well can't say it's been much practice since i barely started out at all. School actually has good english classes! which is my best subject. so my only problem writing is having the patience for it. not that i'm a bad writer or something. and drawing, took art classes in school but never took much interest other than doodling until watch some t.v shows and playing games. it's all over the place for me i think.

Watching Sailor Moon.
(I guess that could count as other art works, but damn I couldn't pause my tv! D: pictures were moving all over the damn place)

At first I looked at a crapload of tutorials on DA and YT, but then I kind of started learning with trial and error.

I've looked into books and tutorials, as well viewing other people's artwork. I'm also self-taught and gifted in both talents, writing and art.

i can't do any of those things

taught myself for the most part but art classes helped and books too!
