Do you have an art tip you’d say changed your life and wished you had known sooner?
(LOV UR ART WOWOWOWOWOW)
i can think of five actually (some of them my personal observations so may be something that is not actually true)
1. you have to figure out if you think in lines or in shapes and adjust your drawing process accordingly. you don't have to abandon what you want to do for the sake of what you better at, you just have to be creative
2. colours are more important than lots of other things in your art. a good colour palette can hide all your mistakes or make them look likea personal style and a bad colour palette can make a professional artist's work look like the author knows nothing
3. aside from a regular eraser use some sort of airbrush eraser. it leaves a faint reminder of what was there before and sometimes you don't need a thing to be erased completely and drawn again from scratch
4. let eyes be the last thing you put on a face. you may put a mark where they should be but don't go into much detail before you're done with everything else. very often when something's wrong with the face it's either the eyes or their fault as they set other features for failure with their wrong position
5. if your dominant hand is the left one and you're trying to learn composition and you look at all of those examples in books/articles/video lectures etc and you kinda understand the schemes, but you wouldn't see 'the movement' they're talking about without purposely looking for it, you don't really 'feel the flow', nothing actually 'leads your eye', try mirror flipping the images
