Ask HN: Ideas on creating passive income streams

Just realized that my first answer might not be the most helpful :-P. If you're still interested in becoming better at design, it's all about learning-by-doing. Much like development.

I spend a lot of time on https://dribbble.com/ when I initially started designing and that's often where I go to find inspiration these days as well.

Besides that, I'd suggest to doing as many design-related projects as possible. They don't have to be big. They just need to force you to go through the process of going from thought to an actual design. A lot of people practice design by re-designing already existing apps.

The tool of the trade nowadays, when it comes to websites and apps at least, is https://www.sketch.com/, which I can highly recommend.

Hope that helped a bit more.

Ah, this helps quite a bit. I sometimes take a stab at UI/icon/character design with Sketch. What helped me a lot was https://bezier.method.ac/ and redrawing characters from Headspace. I've also used Figma here and there.

So your tips are quite helpful since I've never tried to start from a blank canvas. Also, dribble.com is a really cool tip.

Thanks! :D
