    "Nobody wakes up drawing masterpieces!"

    I think scaling down has helped me improve a lot. I've always bought big sketch pads because that's what I'm used to, but I have been having so much fun drawing in a smaller sketch book. Just as well, thinking of each piece as an experiment -- having a growth mindset and critiquing myself -- has really helped me take the pressure off myself to produce something amazing every time I lay pencil to paper. You've given spot on advice here, Temi.

    Another thing to avoid is over studying. "Practice" is always the last thing people want to hear but the fact of the matter is theres no amount of books, videos, etc about art improvement that can help you if you don't bust out the materials and start drawing!

Challenge your self to different things!

    I found myself laughing when you said a piece always looks the best right after you've drawn it :D for me it's usually the opposite, especially with quick sketches; I can't bear to look at them right away, but a few days later I'm able to not *only* see the mistakes and often find they're good in some way that my more overworked pieces always lack. Of course, a year or so later I start noticing mistakes that I wasn't aware of at the time, but I think my eye is always so far ahead of my skill that I'm never truly happy with anything I make.

    I believe it doesn't matter what we do in life, we must always practice what we do. Everything right down to how we speak. I find that when I do not practice my foreign languages, I cannot maintain the fluency. If I fail to practice my music instruments, I cannot find the note automatically. If I fail to color, I cannot remember the layered sequence of how I got an exact color. So, I completely agree with what you are saying here! It's been almost over a year since I last used my camera before Covid, so I am having to remember what each menu means.

    #8 Enjoy what you do. If you don't enjoy or love what you do, no amount of learning or practice will make good art. #9 Embrace your style. People cannot copy each other. They have a unique style of making a drawing or a painting. Your portrait drawing will be different than my illustrations. But each of us have our own unique ways of drawing.

    about the supplies: if you feel like your supplies are not getting your where your want to be, really try investing in something better. I used to use random pencils I had from school and I could not get them to blend. that was very frustrating. I really wanted to try out prismacolors and while yes, they are not cheap but: I have so much fun drawing with them and draw now a lot more, just because I have so much fun using them. so if you really feel like the material you use is restricting you, I know it can be a investment at first, but It can be very much worth it

    I’m currently using graphite and want to transition to color but I have no idea how. It sounds simple but every time I attempt to it looks cartoon like. Maybe a future video on that?

      @happydays if you still want help picking between pan pastels and markers, I’d say it depends on budget. A pack of ohuhu markers would work as a base and is cheaper to buy a larger range of than pan pastels. Pan pastels would be easier to blend and overall easier to work with if you have a larger budget.

    Temi should be called ''Temi of truth'' because everything she said is true. sometimes if you have large paper use a ruler (if you have one) to separate the page in to different pieces!
