WHY WERE THEY RUNNING SO FAST SLOWDOWN

Ya'll couldn't even handle HER.

I have no mouth and I must laugh at my girlfriend's ass piano playing

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it, really! 😭

My go-to advice when it comes to drawing is NEVER. EVER. sleep on references! And also, stare at more art that you find pretty/want to draw, aka build your visual libraryyy (Whether that is cartoons/anime, comics/manga, paintings, photography, etc.)

I always had a more "work smart, not hard" approach towards art; My BRAIN hurts more than my HAND does. You can practice drawing the same hand as much as you want, but if you don't find a proper reference on how the joints connect, how muscles flex, or how shadows warp around objects, then you are just expending energy on something that will take you much longer to learn!

It's also important for me to add that the more you look at good references, the more you won't need them when you draw!

References aren't cheating, references are research. You cannot draw what you cannot understand.

Lastly, If you draw something:

Ensure that you finish it!!!!!!!! (Even if you hate it halfway!)

Because it will take some time for your muscle memory to learn, and for your eyes/brain to perceive "quality" better! Finishing a piece forces you to practice the "un-fun" parts. Hell, you might even love doing the "un-fun" parts once you get used to them. e.g. I used to despise coloring my art and now it's my favorite part of any drawing.
