I scrolled through your art, and your improvement in such a short period is crazy!! Do you have any tips?
I really wish I had some crazy good tips, but honestly I don’t really know how to help with this 🌚 a few things did help me a lot though.
I used to be reeeally bad at perspective and anatomy, so using real-life references changed a lot for me. Most of the time it was just for practice. Doing lineart over photos helped me understand those better and made drawing on my own way easier later. like, way easier.
I also always flip my canvas to see if something looks off. When I draw traditionally, I use a mirror for the same thing.
Watching speedpaints and following artists you like helps a ton too. Speedpaints especially helped me understand lineart and rendering. I still struggle a lot with rendering, but they were honestly lifesavers. Emilyena’s speedpaints on YouTube are my favorites for this, but it really depends on the art style you’re going for and which artists you think could help you.
Grayscale also helps a lot. When I don’t get the lighting or shadows, removing color makes it easier to see what’s wrong.
Doing your own references can help too. like taking photos of things, posing yourself, or mixing a few pictures together to make something you can draw from. there are apps for that kind of stuff as well.
I don’t really know a lot about them though, mostly because i’m too lazy to look for more, but posemyart is one I use sometimes.
Kinda cliche, but doing quick sketches is pretty helpful too. They can be simple, not really focused on being perfect. As someone who compares herself a lot and wants everything to be perfect, this really helps me chill and just enjoy drawing while still practicing
Aslo, redrawing the same thing a few times. If you don’t like how something turned out, just redo it. Don’t get too attached or think you can’t make it better. first tries are usually messy
Anyway, I hope this is actually helpful and not painfully obvious 🧍🏻thanks for the ask though!! :)
