the way that artists can improve so quickly is insane...it’s a bit scary to be honest. It kind of even happened to me, my art in 2020 was so weird (I would draw “anime” and by that I mean little faces with sharp chins and scary eyes that were too far down on the head) and now I think I’ve improved a LOT...my art still isn’t great but at least I’ve improved a bit more

[@littleripper312]

I found I didn't improve much even over years until I started pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and doing studies that were practicing a specific thing. For example when doing a study I might be just focusing on blocking in values. When I started doing stuff like that I saw noticeable improvements over months more so than I used to see in a year. If you're feeling frustrated sometimes you just need to narrow down what you're practicing instead of everything at once.

[@aprilknightgames3689]

I definitely understand and no, I will not tell you to be patient because I do NOT want to be a hypocrite. I try to tell myself that they started earlier than me, therefore, they have more experience but- I can’t bring myself to believe myself. Feel like I’m lying to myself. I definitely appreciate the enthusiasm in these videos but sometimes, looking at other peoples art can be discouraging. Another bad part is that I know that despite of what I said about them starting earlier and being older, I know people who are younger than me and are much better than I could possibly manage.

[@WINOLAofficial]

I’m just so confused on how to study sometimes… and what to study. I’m really into character design and I’m so overwhelmed with: poses, hands, faces, anatomy, etc, but I’m never figure out how to go about it all

[@livevolume6254]

Do it step by step. I started with anatomy, later focused more on practicing hands, went on with some background practice, switched to digital art and continued with shading. To sum it up, you should definitely start with the basics and later think about what you would actually like to learn :)

Yeah I agree. Competitiveness can be a great motivator for improvement. I joined this club at school called the artsense club and at the end of the month one of us would be titled artist of the month.

[@grandiloquentgeekgenre]

I actually did this. I got from drawing literal stick figures to creating comic pages and book illustrations in less than a year. I was so convinced I could never learn to draw that I had never tried. When I finally decided try, I drew every day and used a lot of reference. I'm really happy with the progress I made by doing that. In the next year, I want to get better at drawing backgrounds and clothes. Among several other things. All that to say I encourage anyone who thinks they can't draw to give it a year. You can do it!

This is how I felt from 2018 when I first got my iPad and uploading videos to my art style now which is way more confident looking and big improvements in anatomy 😅

[@C4ichu]

I think a big part of drawing and improving is not only being good and drawing realistic, but putting your mark on a piece. Everyone likes to see a good drawing with perfect anatomy and stuff and that´s a really solid base, but everyone likes it even more if you see stylization because diversity is what expresses us and our work. Especially on Sam´s art you can really tell that it´s his because there´s so much expression and stylization. Just wanted to put my thoughts down here, have a nice day :)

[@HugYourLocalCactus]

It's so interesting that along with the confidence of the artist, the characters grow as well. The second set of pieces is an amazing example. Super inspiring!

Looking back on years before really does help. I am always very very critical of my art. I feel like I've been drawing for years and still need references and can't do much but recently I found an old flash drive from ten years ago and the drawings on it were done with reference and were lacking so much. But my drawings today that I do I was able to see much more confidence in working without references. What helped my art a lot was to stop feeling like I should be guilty about using reference. By studying the references hard while I draw instead of just copying what I saw was the biggest help. In the ten years I simply became a student of life. I looked at people, how they sat, how they moved, how their muscles moved. Looked at my own body, looked at nature and the colors etc. All of this I believe have contributed a lot. Hands used to be so hard for me too and I would do all I can to hide them in a drawing but now I'm drawing them and like them!

[@mayslilcorner]

It depends on what you ultimately want to be able to draw. But you should start with the fundamentals: proportions and accuracy , good lines, values, colours,perspective etc because you can’t draw anything without them. So start by learning simple stuff like perspective and lighting on primitive objects and then you can work your way up to faces/figures.
