things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

• used a reference for everything
• thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)
• sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing
• THUMBNAILS
• color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work
• you like that pose? redo it one more time
• USE A DAMN REFERENCE
• do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy
• draw the goddamn background you coward
• just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand
• the rule of thirds WORKS
• take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint
• know that art takes longer as you get better at it
• draw the seams on clothes
• stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts
• just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works
• stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.
