It is very important, that you look at art, that you like and that inspires you. Like I mentioned above, don´t compare your skill to masters of their art but that doesn´t mean, that you can´t learn from them. You will learn a lot and you will be able to take some of the thinks, you learned, over to other Mediums. Also, if you are mainly drawing digitally then you should defiantly try to draw in a traditional medium. Try, for example, to draw with watercolors or Ink to change it up a little bit. It sounds silly and easy but it works really well. Trying different Mediums, especially Mediums, that you never tried before will force you to try new stuff. So look at your drawings and constructively think, what you could have done better and also what you did well on that drawing. This behavior will not help you and it will discourage you more than motivate you. Just to say, that their drawing sucks and they have to learn more and try harder etc. So often I see beginners artists that finish a drawing and then ook up their favorite artist online and compare it line by line.
