(silence Anon) I Came Up With It Myself. Sorry If It's Ambiguous. Alternatively Could You Do "and Isolation's

anyway it’s been years since i posted here but i’m always stalking around somewhere so 🤷‍♀️ bottom quote is from billie eilish’s ocean eyes

hi everyone! in the past, challenges like inktober have been great at getting me to practice and improve my art, and this year I wanted to be really motivated so I made myself a prompt list! and I can’t wait to illustrate my friends and favorite memories with these warm-hearted prompts!

(if you’re also a big sap like me and want to use some of these, feel free, I’d love to see them, tag me!)

req’d by @nay-i-know-not-seems

good

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.
