Ask HN: How do I learn drawing?

I have been bad at drawing my whole life, but I think drawing can improve my career as an engineer. I want to be able to illustrate my ideas when writing blog posts and documentation.

Where do I start? I have an IPad and Apple Pencil for digital drawing. I tried to learn how to draw by watching videos on Youtube and by practising a lot on my own, but I feel like I'm missing fundamentals.

I want to learn both raster and vector graphics. As it turned out, drawing complex real life objects using vector graphics is not easier.
