2003 vs 2015 There's a thing on Twitter right now #anyonecanimproveatdrawing so I shared this painting I did in 2003 of Harry and the painting I did earlier this year of Hermione It's been 12 years between these full of ups and downs but I'm glad I stuck it out. That face though... Hahha :)

Process Sketch breakdown

This is a tutorial of sorts for students or beginning artists. It’s something that I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. When I was a kid browsing the internet looking at artists’ work I would get so overwhelmed. Their sketches were so clean and polished. i had no idea that there were probably 10 sketches that they didn’t post leading up to that drawing. Figuring that out and being okay with some stages of a drawing looking like crap helped me immensely.

To me it is truly about working incrementally step by step until you’re happy with the whole drawing. and using as many layers as i need to get there. I remember some folks being all about using as few layers as possible. I don’t care about how many layers or how long it takes me, I just keep working and building up until I’m happy.

Sorry if it’s too wordy and please send me an ask if you have questions or if this is unclear.
