hey y& #39;all, stepping back on the soap box to talk about art improvement. So uhh, my artistic journey has been a wild one. These drawings I present to you are all of my friendo, @OzzyC3_. the difference is about 7 and a half years of working out and practicing.
"but Mischa, what do I work on specifically" you scream and then everyone shooshes you because it& #39;s 1:15am. Well there& #39;s unfortunately no one size fits all solution. it takes a lot of insight and getting past any pride you may have to improve.
and that& #39;s not to say that you can& #39;t take pride in what you draw, sometimes you finish a piece that you& #39;ve been working super hard on and finishing it is an amazing feeling, but you can& #39;t let that blind you from seeing any faults in your work.
And I say this from experience, criticism is one of the hardest things to not take personally, especially if it& #39;s something you put your all into. but you gotta take it as best as you can and whenever you can.
And when I say take criticism, I of course mean CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not jack fuckington telling you your style is ugly, or your designs are bad, or that you should draw more like so and so. take advice and criticism from well intentioned individuals~
And don& #39;t be afraid to experiment, while it can be frustrating trying out a myriad of things and it not sticking well or coming out how you like, the pay off is so fucking huge. You can have a multitude of styles like @scarlettwingz, or your art is super stylized like @pianta_
like look how safe i used to play it in 2012 y& #39;all, look at the lack of variety
"now I& #39;m a jerk, and everyone loves me"
okay i think this thread is long enough, if this helped you at all, I& #39;m glad and I look forward to seeing all of your arts on the twitters, whether it be done by a cintiq or a pencil and some notebook paper~
never stop drawing!
never stop drawing!
