The best drawing advice I can give to anyone who wants to improve quickly is to use cheap notepad paper and ballpoint pens. I know it's tempting to buy the cool fancy supplies but then you'll feel pressured to not waste them. Use garbage materials and burn through them with zero thought. Only use pen because it forces you to commit and stops you from second guessing your lines and redrawing them over and over. Learn how to use your mistakes and then learn how to get it right the first time. I took numerous art classes and nothing taught me more than buying a big pack of Bics and legal pads and sketching anything that came to mind without hesitation. Fill a few pages everyday with the first thing that comes to mind. Don't rip out pages you don't like, just flip to the next page and try again. Watch yourself improve. If you really want to be a good artist, you need to learn how to draw from the ground up without relying on quality materials.

Art Lesson: Line Confidence & Shapes

As requested by @blondcurly​

This is focused on the basics for people learning to draw, if you’d like something for the more experienced feel free to send an ask or hop into my dms

—LINE CONFIDENCE—

Line confidence is really important for honing ones art skills. It means the artist doesn’t need many lines for whatever it is they are drawing and usually improves the quality of said drawing.

That being said, the scratchy look can be good for specific things like making something appear creepy, show action, or look intense. But I recommend avoiding that unless you want everything to look creepy or intense.

Ways you can gain more line confidence is to make it impossible to take the lines you’ve drawn back. 

If you’re drawing on paper you can use a pen instead of a pencil. That way you get used to committing to the lines you’ve draw and begin to draw better lines. I recommend either a ball point pen or a sharpie.

For digital art practice drawing without using the back button or eraser.

—SHAPES—

Anatomy is hard so it’s a good idea to practice breaking the body into shapes. Any shapes you want. If you like a softer art style keep the shapes round and if you like sharp then do angular shapes. It is art after all, not science. So have fun.

There are no rules when it comes to the shapes in art, it’s all a matter of style. If you want a more realistic style keep the shapes close in size to how they are in reality. If you want something more cartoony exaggerate those shapes and feel free to push the boundaries.

That’s all for now. I’ll gladly answer questions in the comments below and to any questions in reblogs
