for all the artists following me
draw fast. itāll look messy for a long time but youāll improve faster than if you spend 4 hours on every drawing
if you draw in pencil and have a habit of erasing all of your mistakes, try drawing in pen or marker. i know itās scary but itāll help in the long run (iām speaking from experience)
try different methods and mediums but donāt worry about mastering any of them, just have fun
if youāre not rich, buy art supplies from the dollar store, not the art store (seriously. i go through a sketchbook about once a month and iād rather spend $4 on one than $15)
thereās no wrong way to learn. you can copy other peopleās art if you want to, just donāt post it
DO NOT worry about having a consistent style. do not. just draw however you want
if you want to make original characters then do it. donāt worry about if theyāre original, or a good design, or if they have an accompanying story. make sonic ocs. do it. itās fun and itās not hurting anyone
try not to kill your back. stand up and stretch once in a while
make a folder and save all of your favorite arts for inspirationĀ
draw from life. draw your dog. draw your teachers. draw your desk. draw your own hands (seriously thatās the best way to get better at drawing hands)
in general, drawing from life or a photo is better than drawing from a diagram
draw whatever you want. draw youtubers if you like youtubers. draw undertale if you like undertale. when i was a kid i drew nothing but shadow the hedgehog and horses. everyone deserves to draw what they want without being mocked, and if people start making fun of you, block them and keep drawing
donāt expect to get any notes at first. donāt let it discourage you. if you want validation go show your art to your mom or your friends or your teacher or your grandma
take breaks, but donāt give up.
