IT IS NOT NONSENSE! IT IS CALLED, £ART!!!

Torso reference

Thank you!  My advice for all beginner artists is that you must first master the art of drawing your characters in angles other than ¾ view facing left.

Jokes aside, I’d say doing studies but focus on one thing at a time. Want to be good at drawing the body? Bury yourself in torso and hips references. What about the legs? Simplified the legs aren’t straight tree trunks, they’re more like peanuts.

When you study you’ll find methods to construct something more easily and find analogies like this.

Also a lot of artists advice you to “practice everyday” but while that is great advice cause it works, in my opinion drawing with no motivation is a slow, not-really-effective method and could even be meaningless practice.

It can get draining or frustrating to you.

My advice is to try to find inspiration before you draw, then keep yourself inspired while you’re drawing. Do you ever see a drawing from an artist and say “woah I wish I drew like that…”?  

Some people will get demotivated and think that they can’t do the same. But some will stare at this drawing with half jealousy,half inspiration with the urge to pick up a pencil and draw a picture as cool as that artist’s.

Sure the result might not be what they thought it would be, it might not be as dynamic or interesting or as cool as the artist’s, but hey! They picked up a pencil and drew something with a goal to make it good. Draw while you’re inspired because in my personal experience you make the most improvement this way- not “just practice drawing bruh”

If you feel like you’re losing motivation cause you probably keep erasing too much, or feel like you don’t know what you’re doing, then STOP. Stop drawing and do something else to find inspiration again. Or look at that amazing artist’s works again. Stalk them. Who do they follow? What works do they find awesome? Maybe you’ll find something too!

You do not want to keep that demotivated feeling and frustration in your head for too long. This is what stops a lot of people from trying to draw again, so don’t let this happen.

TL;DR:

Studies!

Find inspiration/motivation. 

Draw while inspired.
