I'm just gonna create a bunch of clichés to keep in mind while drawing:
The paper/medium doesn't matter as long as you're actively drawing and trying to improve. In order to improve, you have to obsess over the ACT of drawing (NOT over a SINGLE drawing)
When a single line is all that you worry over, the rest of the drawing will cease to matter and may inevitably come out as "bad"
Use your passions to launch you into the process, then when you become passionate about drawing itself, you'll find that you'll enjoy branching out and drawing just about anything.
Challenge yourself; after completing something you're proud of, try to draw something even better than it.
Don't measure the worth of your work to others'; they are not you, and you aren't them, own your own struggles and measure your work against your own.
Learn all that you can; not only about drawing, but about everything. If you don't have any knowledge outside of art, you'll have nothing to draw.
