This is how I start my usual clayboards. This is only about 30% complete. I need to add details, color again, then repeat that process multiple times.

I am 30 now and I am taking the art of drawing seriously only now. I used to draw when I was a kid, but then stopped doing it and did not get to improve my skills. I have started drawing again now and I can see my improvement with every new drawing.

I know only practice can make me better and I have a target of drawing at least 2 drawings every week. 1 during the weekdays and a quick one at the weekend. The ones I do at the weekend will be instant gratification ones where I won't worry too much about finishing or accuracy.
