Do you have tutorial videos on how to draw like you do ?

Awww!! Omg, I’m actually so honored that you want a tutorial from lil’ ol’ me!! I’ve mentioned this before, but art wasn’t my first medium of creativity, writing was, so I’ve always been a bit insecure about my art. I’m definitely more confident in it now that I’ve had a lot of practice, but I still need to break out of that mindset of comparing myself to other artists, pffffffft.

I actually have a tutorial that I made for @babsvibes on how I do my coloring and lighting and shading that you can read here:

I don’t have any tutorial videos, but I can also offer a bit of extra advice here. Just putting a pencil to paper can help a lot, especially if one is in art block. It can really help with pushing through that tough spot of feeling like you can’t draw anything. Just getting anything sketched can really make a difference. Using actual paper to draw some things can really help you improve, there’s just something about using a physical medium once in awhile that really gets the creative juices flowing.

Looking at other artists’ work and supporting them can also go a long way for inspiration. I know for a fact that I’m as good an artist as I am today because of all of the incredible artists I’ve gotten inspired from.

A couple other things I can say is that coloring your lineart, if you do lineart, can make a huge difference in making your art look nicer. And turning on stabilization was an absolute game-changer for me. It made making lineart so much faster and nicer.

I hope you found at least some of this helpful 🫶🏼 I’m not great at giving art advice, but I tried!! 😅

asks doodler’s daydreams personal studying anatomy is also important but it can seem really daunting at first. this is where other tutorials can come in handy some people have joked about hiding things like hands if you don’t want to draw them but i think it’s important to learn how to draw hands it makes drawings seem more dynamic and alive and you can come up with fun hand poses the biggest thing is just DOING. practice makes permanent!! improvement won’t happen overnight but if you keep at it i promise you will see results. It wasn’t easy for me to start drawing and push back against my own self doubt but it’s been worth it because drawing is SUCH a lovely hobby and it relaxes me like nothing else. thank you so much for asking this!!
