    2) Constant art style change phase
    3) Only busts/portraits phase
    4) Fashion phase (this might just be me but this was my first phase and the reason I even got into art)
    5) Draw this in your style challenge phase (fairly new)

    7) Sketch phase (when you have a million sketches but no finished drawings/illustrations)

    i’m sure you won’t see this, but i just wanted to say that you’ve been an inspiration to me throughout my art journey. i remember 6 years ago, in 6th grade, when i put you as my favorite artist/inspiration for an assignment. it’s crazy to think how far both of us have progressed, and i’m so proud of myself.
    i’m currently working on a short comic while taking portfolio classes, since i’ve exhausted my school’s digital art and drawing/painting programs. i had a critique today where my teacher and classmate gave some great feedback, and i’m gearing up to apply to art school for next year.

Seeing a completed spread in my sketch book just makes the whole book feel better, you know. And then I can feel a little better because at least I made a complete page.

    • @JK-uw4up
      @JK-uw4up 2 года назад +1

      Many of the people I know (myself included) did not have that phase. For me there is no such thing as finding a style, because this process never stops. I understand that it may work for some people, but, at the same time, I've seen so much beginner artists who got stuck because of this idea. When you're good enough and you have a good visual base (from the artists you like), it can fluently lead to your artworks becoming distinctive based on your preferences. So, it really depends.

Also be original and don't just become a copy of somebody else inspiration is ok but there's a line between straight up copying and inspired. And my second to last advice to you as an artist is to never give up you might wanna sometimes but if you keep going then when your a bigger artist who's been drawing for years and years you'll be happy that never ever stop going up that hill. ( sorry I got into the mood ) but also know it's ok if you don't think art is for you not everyone has to do it you can do it if you really think that's your passion and or hobby that's just what art is a hobby something you love doing that makes you happy. My final advice is to always remember your art is for you not other ppl. Yes there's commissions and stuff but always remember it's ok to like your own stuff as much as it is to know that you need improvement.

      If you draw every day even when you don’t feel like it, is probably the worst thing you can do. Obviously you need to give yourself a break. Often after a long break you come back way better than before. If you push yourself to draw to much you will get sick of it.

    Tip for people in the “everything I make is bad” phase:

I still have my old drawings that i look back on now, and think they were actually kinda good, even though i never made an OC, i basically mimicked other artists styles and characters.

    • @ferrin6326
      @ferrin6326 5 лет назад +37

      To learn how to draw the lower body, just use some references online and look at the way tge hips and things curve and how big they are in proportion to the torso.
      The thighs are a few inches shorter than you entire torso. With legs, keep them tucked together and if you have trouble with that, stick one leg in front of or behind the other in a kind of relaxed state. Also helps if youa ccidentally curved your character's standing to the left or right. Gives it a reason.

      For some cursed reason, I can only draw men. Hot ass men, but still. I can't draw girls. I'm a girl, I used to do ballet (Only girls, lots of them), I went to an all-girls school, and guess what, I'm a lesbian. But I can only draw the hot dudes.

      @@ArjackDFT I studied comic making at a really chill school in Northern Finland. Everyone there was super nice and I enjoyed my time there, and I made a bunch of friends, some of who I still keep in touch with. I often wish I had stayed, but untreated depression and/or ADHD left me struggling with attending the morning classes and turning in assignments. I felt everyone else was so much better than me that in the end I let the pressure get to me.
      But other than that and the tuition fees (in Finland education is usually free even at university level), it was a really good experience.

      Rippp this is why I don't take art classes in school for like fun, cause they aren't. My friend had a teacher who didn't let you draw with mechanical pencils, and didn't let you shade normally. You had to cross hatch shade. You aren't allowed to draw anime, or anything "cartoon".
