IMO “just draw,” is bad advice because just drawing *anything* won’t get you very far, you have to specifically be trying new things. If you draw the same exact picture of a dragon 100 times, same angle, size, medium etc you aren’t going to improve that much. You need to be trying different dragons in different scenes, and sometimes creatures that aren’t dragons. For example, maybe this week you follow a series of tutorials on digital art to learn the program and only draw dragons on that. And then maybe next week you decide to experiment by only using crayons instead. Dragons are a combination of several different animals, so maybe you spend one week drawing horses and the next drawing snakes. Follow the tutorials of a mangaka on Monday, and then those of a classically trained western artist on Tuesday. You have to try new things. Though I will add the caveat that passion is important too, especially if you’re a hobbyist, so if you force yourself to keep doing things you don’t like you could burn out.
