5 Secrets Beginner Artists Don't Know

[@thekarsdraws]

The first tip was an answer to what I was thinking before clicking this video because I wasn't sure of the shading of a portrait I painted today. It wasn't something bad painting, but there's something missing, and it doesn't feel satisfying. That tip made me reflect of my painting process, the brushes that I use, and how I make hard edges and soft edges. So, thank you for these simple but helpful tips to include as habits or a reminder when making art. Also, it's a beautiful portrait painting, and I loved it when I saw this in your post on Instagram.

It's something I just figured out for myself recently! Shading style does so much for your unique art style. It's so magical!

This portrait is SO CUTE! Also, these are some great tips. The shading one applies to me especially. I often get frustrated with how inconsistent I am with my art, but I also need to remind myself to not beat myself up and just enjoy the process. I'm still experimenting and I need to think of it as being FUN, not a chore. The more I make art, the more I WANT to make art, and because of that, the faster I progress in my skills. That's just how life works. Thanks for another great video! ❤

I'm glad it resonated with you! Sometimes it's overwhelming to start a new piece or draw in your sketchbook.

Watching your videos lately has been super comforting. My hands have been pretty shaky, so seeing how you draw is great, especially when you do traditional art! 🌞 I like the Facetime camera in the corner, lol! That part helps me stay engaged with the digital art process, and it feels like I was looking back at this commission speedpaint with you. I hope my hands will cooperate again!

The jumpy video was very distracting and made me click away. Unfortunate.

There's other videos on my channel that are more relaxing and slowly paced!
