Give me drawing tips.. n stuff?
(Skip this part if you don't want a random backstory drop.) [☆So like I've been drawing since my parents threw those colouring and drawing books at me as soon as I learnt to hold a pencil. I stopped in like 2019 and in 2021 thanks to toilet bound hanako kun got me to not only read manga but also back to drawing (seriously now.) simply cause I liked the plot and adored the artsyle (still do)]
(I don't even know but u can skip this 2.) [☆It's been 3 years (since I started taking drawing seriously) and I suck. I have 0 line confidence. I can't decide on an artsyle. (It always changes) I get jelous at other artists way to easily but also admire them sm. I get unmotivated quickly (I hate adhd sm but I don't even think that's my issue at this point) and sm more.]
(Start here ig.) [☆Basically just give me drawing tips (or maybe tutorials), questions that I can answer (idk) and maybe some tips to help me stay focused better cause I literally have nothing going for me other than drawing and taking random pics. (This could also help with my school work greatly.)]

Ask yourself, Why do you Want to draw? & the answer doesn't have to be anything profound, really. It could be as simple as "I just Like the process of Creating," or as ambitious as "I want to make this my career."
Set aside time to do studies in addition to the time you take to drawing what you Like. A lot of Learning art is finding a balance betw...... 2 reply
Here’s my toxic art tips cause everyone else is already giving you great advice. But you sound like an envious artist just like me.
• if you think you can draw it better, prove it. To yourself, to the world, but especially to those who you’re trying to beat. For example: a Contest or a DTIYS
• Don’t have an art style you like? STEAL. The...... 1 reply
Hi!!!!!
Fellow artist here. I think a lot of people hate their own art (especially people who are just starting out), and struggle with disappointment and de-motivation.
I'm actually not particularly good at dealing with the feeling myself, so I don't exactly know how to deal with focus issues. I make my friends force me to draw sometimes hahah. ...... 1 reply

I really love Jackie Droujko's fixing your art videos. I think she gives constructive criticism that keeps the integrity of the original unlike some other artists *cough* kooleen *cough*.
Loish is also another favorite of mine. A look at her insta might make you think she's just another pretty girl artist, but her tutorials and online classes real...... 1 reply
