I got so many awesome messages in my inbox. I probably didn’t feature them all because Tumblr tends to eat asks, but I wanted to respond to at least a few. uwu

I wanted to give everyone a VERY belated thank you for all these cute, amazing and lovely asks I got while doing that little comic chain about Template!! You guys know who you are. ;D 

It was amazing to read all the lovely, encouraging messages, even though I didn’t feature them. Template got flooded with gifts, hugs (oops) and encouraging words and it was just so very sweet to read them all! 

And don’t worry, the bean will be fine! I’ll just give him a rest and maybe send Pale instead. It’s not gonna be very interesting though, you’ll need A LOT of patience xD

Oh wow, thank you! You probably don’t read this because I took months to respond to this coz I’m late as always, but I still wanted to reply. .w.

So... anyway! I think to improve both your art and your art style, I think it’s important to use references! Some people just start to draw without a clue and then are upset it’s not working. Yeah, because you don’t know how it works yet. That’s okay and normal. So you look things up, just like with everything in life when not knowing how to solve a problem. To find your own art style, you can try to take reference from someone’s art style you admire, maybe. If you’re like me you will fail and end up with something entirely different because the style doesn’t suit your own, but it will improve your skills and knowledge because you tried something new c:

Also! Use tutorials! There are plenty of tutorials for thousands of topics out there, some even for beginners! I always found DeviantArt to be a great way to look for tutorials. 

So basically all I can say is: Always try new things and use references when you find yourself having trouble with something. The rest is actually practice and patience, sorry. And I mean it - I’m drawing for over 15 years (mostly casually with years of breaks in between though) and I believe I suck a lot when taking that into consideration. c;

AND I KEEP FINDING THESE IN MY ASK BOX:

I know I don’t respond to all your messages, but that’s just because I plan on replying but I just can’t! It’s not easy to keep track of everything and I just had to clean up a bunch but yeah... my inbox is a mess :’D
