art tips i’ve picked up over a decade of drawing
art is subjective so as always take these with a grain of salt lol, the same tips wont necessarily work for everybody
don’t be afraid of using the stabilizer tool if it’s available to you, it’s a very useful way to get used to how you want your lines to feel and look like! it took me years of using it to feel comfortable + confident enough in my lines to draw without it
references are your best friend forever, they are sooooo useful! sometimes my workspace is so littered with reference photos that i almost have no space to work with
sorta branching off of the above tip: you really do not need to take an anatomy class to be a good artist, but you should have a general idea of how proportions and the basic body that you’re drawing work. there’s no real fast way of getting good at drawing things anatomically correct: it takes a lot of practice and study and looking at A LOT of references over and over again, so don’t rush it, you’ll get there!
ANOTHER KIND OF RELATED TANGENT sorry, but sometimes an artist can’t really reliably teach you how to draw anything. my friends ask me how i draw hands and people so well sometimes and my answer honestly is: i don’t know! it’s all practice! it comes from years of looking at references and tons and tons and tons of practice
vary your lines! practice using more than just one size brush in your drawings: details often benefit from smaller brush sizes while outlines love being big
don’t use darker shades of a color in order to shade that color, it drains the drawing of life. this tip saved my life in middle school: colors are relative!! use other colors! red is shaded so well with purple, yellow is shaded so well with orange, and brown is shaded so well with red. there are some charts online and such that offer better color theory help, but this is another thing that takes a bit to get used to but will feel like second nature eventually
warm up before every drawing! i used to be a nonbeliever in warm ups and then i started doing them before sketching and not only does it loosen up your wrist muscles, it loosens up your creative muscles too
at the end of the day, do whatever makes you the most comfortable. do you like working from a sketch? or do you just go straight for it? doesn’t matter! it’s your drawing and you get to choose how you get to the finish line
