Hiiii :D! How did you develop your art style? Any tips to help me develop mine?

Also this for you 🍪🍪🍪

HIYA!!

Also, my main way of developing my style was actually learning to make everything into simpler shapes to get better at anatomy and proportions!

After I got that down for the most part, I actually started snatching little traits or ways of doing things from other artists I enjoy, sometimes even bending them into my own thing.

The first thing to making art is learning the rules, the next is to break them.

Hey! As someone who has never really drawn digitally or traditionally in their life what are some tips you can give? I would love to draw fanart of your AUs and generally like to start drawing and I would love to know where to start

I'm not sure if I'm adequate for giving beginers advice but I can tell you what I mostly did up until late middleschool!

I used to take inspo from all my favorite artists. I would study their artstyles to figure out anatomy and basic facial structures. I also drew hands nonstop to get better at it since those were always a struggle for me lmao

Sooooooo just have a couple of references when you draw, it will really help you out if you're unsure of how to pose a character.

Be patient with yourself, everyone learns at a different pace! I was really unhappy with how I used to draw but I think I've finally found a decent spot (although I am still aiming to improve XD)

hiii i came from ur tiktok hehe

where'd u learn to draw anatomy? i've been trying to improve and i love urs 🙈

woah thank you so much!! i’m glad you found me lol!

anatomy is always tricky, it definitely comes with practice and time above all. but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to improve quicker! this may be a yap so i’ll put it under the cut ww

mainly, i do a lot of pose/figure studies, working from reference! it’s important to focus both on the structure of the body, but also not forget that it’s okay to stylise things so they feel more dynamic. so sometimes i do studies where i break down the pose into simple, structural shapes, like these:

but other times it’s good to do quicker, gestural sketches, focusing on speed and fluidity before anatomical accuracy.

feel free to use the sketches above for reference in how i break down poses though!

in general, the main thing is to not give up! anatomy is very difficult, and regardless of how experienced someone is they’re bound to make some mistakes. if you feel like you’re lacking in structural knowledge, i recommend you check out morpho’s anatomy books, or proko’s ‘anatomy of the human body’ tutorial series on youtube! both of those helped me immensely in terms of understanding the human body, but they require a little more attention than just keeping at it

— so that’d be my main tip! keep at it! studying can be very frustrating, so it’s good to get into a mindset where you treat all your sketches equally. regardless of how good or bad they turn out, once they’re done, move on to the next one. keep doing that and suddenly you’ll have a sketchbook full of pose drawings! even if some of them don’t turn out how you wanted, i can guarantee you’ll find at least one you’re proud of, and that’s all the motivation you need. i believe in you!!

let me know if you’d like any more tips, i’d be happy to help!
