I'm planning to learn how to draw at age 42. Main reason is, I want to instill this skill on my daughter so she learns how to observe the world in detail as early as possible and hopefully be able to entertain herself with a low time preference/long attention span activity early on as well.

I subscribed to a Udemy course and got myself all the equipment (pencils, paper, rubbers, artist tape, compass, ruler).

Has anyone gone down this route with success and can recommend learning resources that really worked?

I think it's a very good idea, but as you say, drawing is a matter of observation and practice. In other words, it's like with a musical instrument, only regular practice allows you to improve. The best technique for me is at least 15-30 minutes of drawing a day whatever the material or the subject.

Good luck!

For sure it is a matter of practice, but just like with any instrument, a few hints on proper technique go a long way to get a hang of it much faster and more efficiently.
