things i did that forced me to be a better artist:
- used a reference for everything
- thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)
- sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing
- THUMBNAILS
- color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work
- you like that pose? redo it one more time
- USE A DAMN REFERENCE
- do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy
- draw the goddamn background you coward
- just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand
- the rule of thirds WORKS
- take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint
- know that art takes longer as you get better at it
- draw the seams on clothes
- stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts
- just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works
- stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.
