oh yea just throwing it out there but. if u are a beginning digital artist PLEASE i am BEGGING you to experiment with different methods of making your drawings because i see so many of yall suffering for no reason using what you’re taught because you don’t know to try a different way. like SO MANY PEOPLE people make jokes about how much worse their lineart looks from their sketch and how much of a pain it is to do lineart… if that’s you, then, don’t do lineart! just clean up your sketch a bit, or keep the bits from the sketch that you like the most and only do a separate layer for the things that really need fixing, or just paint right onto it!! endless possibilities. if u keep having troubles trouble with layers? u don’t need them, just merge them and keep going. better at sketching traditionally than digitally? take a picture of ur sketch and draw on top of it. there is no One Right Way to do anything in art except what’s fun and satisfying for you. be free
I once heard an artist I admire say “if at any point your creative process feels tedious or boring, stop! change it! try something different! there is no reason to push through something unpleasant in order to create, it should be bringing you joy!” and it really stuck with me.
So, SO MANY of us saw the “sketch - lineart - color - shading” process in tutorials and process videos we somehow think it’s the only correct way to approach art, but there is so many different ways! Clean that sketch! Or start with putting down colors first! Maybe painting with values is more intuitive? Maybe adjustment layers or gradient masks will help you with colors?
There is no One Right Way to do anything in art except what’s fun and satisfying for you!!!
I spent hours staring at gold bars stock photos while making this and now my head hurts
why is tiktok recommending me shit abt how referencing off of someone else’s art is art theft. it is not. young artists just do that pretty heavily which can be awkward to see but its still not a crime and unless theyre actually tracing then i genuinely just do not care. they’ll learn as they keep drawing, stop regurgitating deviantart drama at me
part of being an artist is recognizing that nothing is original and someone will always be inspired by ur work to some degree. nothing ive created is original and it never will be. literally who cares if ur ocs have similar color palettes i just Dont Care bro
“i dont want people taking heavy inspiration from my artwork” congrats! you literally do not get a say in this! cope
