asfjnkjsdf Thank you so much! I consider myself a beginner artist still. There are so many other skills and techniques I want to explore and learn. But this means a lot to me

hey I've always wondered how long do you feel it took to develop your style? I just love your art a lot!! there's just something about the likes and the coloring you do that makes everything feel so soft and warm and just ahhh ❤️👏

i really like this ask AND I WANNA SAVE IT but i know ill forget so ill do my best to answer it now!!

i really didnt start feeling confident in my art until i started drawing what i wanted? i actually took a big breather from tumblr for a bit, like i posted but i didnt really focus on it at all and went weeks without rebloggin shit, and i took this break for almost over a year? i wasnt really off tumblr but i didnt post a lot of art to tumblr and it was, so so so so good for me.

i have this ugly old sketchbook and with my time off tumblr i legit just drew nonstop. and i drew ugly things right in pen, i drew the my ocs doing stupid inside jokes only i got, i drew dam i drew sideview marinette from ladybug probably 100 times just cause i liked the way it looked and wanted to draw something i liked. essentially i drew for myself and i didnt take my art too seriously. i took a step back frm posting and notes and validation from the internet strangers and i grew more artistically then i ever did just before.

i got back in touch with my love of drawing and creating and how it made ME Happy and it was the bEST THING IVE EVER DONE.

OK BUT FOR SOME REAL TIPS THAT HELPED ME

-go right in pen, it helps u build confidence in ur lines and strokes and shit

-dont settle. draw that hand homie, struggle for hours, look at refs, just try and get it down then u can say u did it even if it looks bad

-TRY NEW THINGS PLAY WITH UR ART comfort is awesome and good but dont be scared to try new things and challenge urself thats how u grow a lot

-USE COLORS THAT MAKE U HAPPY? i love yellow i love pink, i use them a lo and people seem to like them so, good times good times,

-DRAW THINGS THAT MAKE U HAPPY the last one and most important. im not drawing guyslikeus for my following. hell no im drawing it cause these boys mean the world to me and i like doing comics and scripts man. dont force urself to stay in a fandom or draw for things u dont like. let ur art vibes take u wherever and fuck the people who arent into it

HOPE THIS MESS HELPSNGRJKGNKRJG im not in art school so this is not like,,, “practiced” advice or anything just some things that really helped me the past few years! draw on homie!
