It just takes some practice.
Recently I rediscovered my first ever (for all I know) "land before time fanart" in a folder. It dates from 1989 or 1990 when I was five respectively six years old.
It comes in the shape of
a set of small green slips of paper on which I drew dinosaurs using felt tip
pen. I must have been five or six years old by the time those drawings were
done. I asked a grownup to write "In einem Land vor unserer Zeit" (German
for the land before time) on the first of the slips of paper. I often asked
grownups to write something for me when I was still unable to write myself.
The drawings are of course very crude. One longneck looks a bit like it had
an udder while actually it is supposed to be two of his legs. There is a
triceratops with a smiley face and a tail with a tassel (looking like a
bufallo's tail). There is a picture which might be a Great Valley landscape,
there are pictures of dinosaurs with paper streamers (such as used on some
parties) and some pictures which not even I can identify. It sure is funny
to look at these and a great stroke of luck that they still exist. I might post it in the GOF, but it sure would be more for a good laugh or nostalgia than for it being "great art".
