I fail all the time.  We all do. 

Failing isn't always a bad thing.  It helps us grow and improve in all aspects of life.

Yeah, quitting is for quitters. You gotta remember to sketch lightly. Need dark hard lines, it makes it hard to erase and fix. And if you're worried about going through a lot of paper maybe use both sides. And like I said, make multiple sketches on one paper so you don't feel like you're wasting a lot of it.

Didn't see all your comments till now, I will try again when I'm feeling better and yes numbers I did it happens when I'm frustrated at something I didn't mean to do it. I still have plenty of paper and now I have some computer apps i got today so I might try that as well at a later date when I'm ready.

Don't get frustrated, digital drawing can be difficult as well. Especially when it comes to getting used to the software and stuff. But good luck!

There's that old saw about how you have (pick a large number) of crappy drawings to get out before you start drawing well.  It's not wholly accurate in its implication that it's all smooth sailing once you've done a certain number of lousy drawings, you just start gradually getting a better ratio of good to bad.  Even Judy Larson has admitted that she's had to scrape canvases and start over, and she'd been painting professionally for years!

Pencil and paper is probably the best way to start.  Or pen and paper, so you don't get caught up wasting time on erasing mistakes.  Draw from life before trying to draw from imagination.  Start with simple objects, like cups and boxes.  Things you can sit in front of and look at as you draw.

And yeah, psychologically we learn from failures.  Not so much from successes.  And have some links:

My two cents: post a sketch dump of a lot of things on one paper. A friend of mine on DA has sketches that vary in quality, but he posts about 10 or 20 small sketches on one or two lined paper from the cheap notebooks that Walmart sells for 25 cents during back-to-school month in the fall.

Relax and keep trying. :)

I can easily draw 3D shapes but only because I learned that from engineering but that's not drawing art but I gonna start shortly.

Hey, thats is a good start.  A lot of people can not draw three dimensionally, and you already got that in your pocket!  Keep going.
