I used to feel like I was bad at drawing too. The number one thing that helped me was not magically becoming talented, but just putting more time and effort into my art. I had to learn to become patient enough to spend hours and hours on one painting until I saw improvement. See, if you look at the paintings that win those weekly contests (which I never even bother entering), they often spend over 10 hours on their entry. And it shows. I'm trying to get that level of patience and, as I spend more time, I definitely see improvement over my first drawings on here (actually, some I deleted). So that would be my number one peice of advice to improveing and feeling more confident about your art. I'm not saying it's easy to spend hours on one painting, but it has helped a lot (the downside is I can't upload many paintings, but I consider it quality over quantity). I hope that helps! Be patient and I already know you'll become more confident very soon! :D
