THE BEGINNER DRAWING COURSEさんのイラストまとめ

Drawing 101:

Don't compare yourself to others.

That's the easiest way to get depressed and stressed.

Just learn from their techniques. How are they applying the basics?

Keep moving forward with your own tastes and aesthetics. It's not a race.

Light and shadow are important attributes to drawing.

Even if you're only using a two-value system (lights vs shadows) you'll be in better shape than randomly shading everywhere and hoping for the best.

80% of creating anything is organizing the pieces involved.

Experimenting with drawing styles has it' place, especially if you're committing to one style for your project or body of work.

Playing with too many styles in a disorganized way will likely not net many followers. People just don't know what to expect from your art.

One way to stay motivated drawing is to develop original characters with stories, personality, and appealing design.

It's addictive uncovering more about them. Drawing them with new outfits and ideas.

These are the things that I have placed my time and attention upon, and they have paid dividends for me in terms of skill and improvement each and every time. That’s why they’re fundamental, because when you have these down as a basis, the level of your art is elevated by proxy.

The richest artists I know focus on doing one or two things very well, and delivering them stupendously to scores of true fans.

The poorest artists I know never find a specialty, and never build an audience around themes they obsess over.

Struggling as an artist?

Don't: Focus exclusively on shortcomings
Do: Focus on what's really working

Don't: Try to please people with your work.
Do: Surprise and delight yourself.

Don't: Draw popular things for views.
Do: Ask yourself what you truly want to make.

LEARN A LOT ABOUT A LITTLE.

I’ve said this this before on my youtube channel, but allow me to explain.

When learning to draw, people often hop from subject-to-subject, gathering smatterings of width with very little depth.

Solving drawing issues early and often is a great habit to get into.

Figure out as much as you can eat each stage of the process.

Otherwise you're looking at a mess down the line.

No pun intended.

10. Work from life, from reference, and from imagination. Each uses different skills and develops your work on different levels.
