LOWKEY TWEAKING RN. THANK U SM
Any tips for artist tryna improve their art? Love ur art and would love to some tips and tricks of yours! ^^
BOOHOO;; THANK YOU!! THAT'S SUCH A NICE COMPLIMENT TO ME;; Like what do you mean you like what I do enough that you want to hear some tips from me!! DON'T MAKE ME CRY FHDJKSA
I really really tried to make things short for you but I don't think I was very successful dkhkdh but I hope you find them useful!! <3
Tracing (not the stealing kind):
Tracing is not bad when it's used to study, some of my college assignments were copying renaissance artists' sketches! Hell, when I was a kid I used to trace Undertale fanart I liked and look where I'm at fhjkads
When you study other people's styles, you can actually gather a lot of information like line weight or proportions, colors, even stylization. So get your favorite artists' pieces and really look at them for a long time, draw them, then apply what you learn into your own art. Just be careful to not steal or claim something as your own!
Focus on one area at a time:
Now you have to chose one area to practice on. You could tackle on many at a time but I find it easier to pinpoint what I would like to do first and then move on to the next thing.
There's a lot of subjects you can go into like anatomy, rendering, backgrounds, but you just have to find one area in them and get a lot of references.
For anatomy you can go into: muscle movement, figure drawing, body parts in different angles.
Rendering: Shading, lighting, color theory.
Backgrounds: Point perspective, different camera angles, landscapes or detailed room scenes.
Don't overwhelm yourself either! Take one thing at a time!
Dear god get a reference board:
Pinterest really helped me find styles I wanted to study and anatomy tips to incorporate in my art. It really relates to my first point but having an actual compilation of how things look next to you really helps. It also helps keeping them organized like so:
Do The Thing™️ anyway:
I know it's repetitive but it genuinely works you have to trust me, practice does make progress. Stop letting fear hold you back on compositions you think are great or believe you don't have "enough skills yet" to work on them. You will never get enough skills if you don't try.
My college classes forced to pick up watercolors and paint backgrounds and I learned a lot just from trying it out. Make mistakes!! Have fun! That's how you truly improve on your skills!
Be patient and loving with yourself (and your art!):
I cannot stress enough how important it is to love your art in order to grow. You NEED to learn how to be patient with your art AND your journey because it will never compare to anyone's!! Art is not a competition nor a race, it's a medium to express yourself through a process you like. That's why there's millions of art styles and why each of them cater to a different audience!
Once you do, you can actually ask important questions like "Did I like the process? What can I improve on next time? What's something I liked I want to continue incorporating into my art?", and it helps with self esteem too.
And last but not least:
Have fun!!
Art is a journey of self-discovery, it's not meant to be something that weighs you down or makes you feel bad when you're not working on it. Take constant breaks! No matter how short or how long! If you get tired or incredibly frustrated at it, then it's probably best you take a break from it!
Thank you for listening and supporting me!! I love you!!

ITS SO LATE AT NIGHT OMFG I LOVE THIS IFSOGSHOROHFOUFLHDHLDLHFOFHLFLHXLHFGKDDLFOHF
Canon mlm representation be like "I'm a boy... but I also like a boy??? >///<!?!?" Meanwhile queerbaiting be like "As promised, 5 million dollars in cash. You're the first contestant we've ever had who won. Hundreds of people last a few seconds, a few last a couple of minutes, but you... you're different. I like that. But let's be honest with ourselves for a second, contestant, we need each other. Especially you, I mean, look where you live. And you've helped us. Having a privately streamed and funded show isn't the easiest thing in the world... and then, on the verge of bankruptcy, you came along. Our star. But stars don't just leave after a season, do they?"
