    Artstyles are not required to be consistent, hell you could have 3 going on at the same time and choose which one to do at a spur of the moment. That way you won’t really feel like it’s too inconsistent!

    2) Constant art style change phase
    3) Only busts/portraits phase
    4) Fashion phase (this might just be me but this was my first phase and the reason I even got into art)
    5) Draw this in your style challenge phase (fairly new)
    6) Only drawing one gender phase
    7) Sketch phase (when you have a million sketches but no finished drawings/illustrations)

      The fact that you can recognize flaws in your drawings just the next day sounds like a sign of rapid improvement. I got the opposite problem right now, I am content with my art and as a result I don’t see flaws and don’t feel the need to improve at all.

I also sometimes used pencils with hard graphite(H6 or H4 or smth) because they dont make super dark, intimidating lines

Seeing a completed spread in my sketch book just makes the whole book feel better, you know. And then I can feel a little better because at least I made a complete page.

(If you are actually interested in digital art) mind you tablets are still very expensive, but not as unattainable as you might think. I grew up thinking digital art was just for rich people, but I most likely could have afforded a lot sooner than I thought . Then again, if you have to choose between being able to feed yourself or a tablet, pick the tablet 😅

    i’m sure you won’t see this, but i just wanted to say that you’ve been an inspiration to me throughout my art journey. i remember 6 years ago, in 6th grade, when i put you as my favorite artist/inspiration for an assignment. it’s crazy to think how far both of us have progressed, and i’m so proud of myself.
    i’m currently working on a short comic while taking portfolio classes, since i’ve exhausted my school’s digital art and drawing/painting programs. i had a critique today where my teacher and classmate gave some great feedback, and i’m gearing up to apply to art school for next year.
    in short, thank you. you’ve been an inspiration to me for my entire art journey, and i’ll always look up to you.

Also be original and don't just become a copy of somebody else inspiration is ok but there's a line between straight up copying and inspired. And my second to last advice to you as an artist is to never give up you might wanna sometimes but if you keep going then when your a bigger artist who's been drawing for years and years you'll be happy that never ever stop going up that hill. ( sorry I got into the mood ) but also know it's ok if you don't think art is for you not everyone has to do it you can do it if you really think that's your passion and or hobby that's just what art is a hobby something you love doing that makes you happy. My final advice is to always remember your art is for you not other ppl. Yes there's commissions and stuff but always remember it's ok to like your own stuff as much as it is to know that you need improvement.

      @JK-uw4up 2 роки тому +1

      Many of the people I know (myself included) did not have that phase. For me there is no such thing as finding a style, because this process never stops. I understand that it may work for some people, but, at the same time, I've seen so much beginner artists who got stuck because of this idea. When you're good enough and you have a good visual base (from the artists you like), it can fluently lead to your artworks becoming distinctive based on your preferences. So, it really depends.

      To learn how to draw the lower body, just use some references online and look at the way tge hips and things curve and how big they are in proportion to the torso.
      The thighs are a few inches shorter than you entire torso. With legs, keep them tucked together and if you have trouble with that, stick one leg in front of or behind the other in a kind of relaxed state. Also helps if youa ccidentally curved your character's standing to the left or right. Gives it a reason.

      Hey you can do art too. But be warned, if you’re not completely invested in learning to draw, you will lose focus. Art is achievable by everyone. BUT. Try to find the book, “Drawing on the right side of the brain” It helps you learn how to create without restricting the way you look at things. It’s really boring, but it helped me so much in my journey as an artist. Try it out!❤️

      Don't delete them, even if they look like a pile of trash wanted to look vaguely like what you want. When you've improved (and you will if you keep at it) and you feel like everything is horrible, you can look at the stuff you've made before and see that you have come farther than before.

      I understand I need to learn but whenever I sit down and try to pull up a youtube video or just sit down and draw random things I'd get bored that I have to just draw poses to teach myself how to draw the things in my head.
