Tips for first time Traditional artiest...
11 years ago
I get asked this question so many times on fa, second life, and even on y-gallery shocking enough...
"How did you get so good at drawing traditional art?"
To witch I reply .... "LOL you're blind right? >.>?"
I see myself as a good artiest, but I'm far FARRRRRRR From professional XD
but! I can offer some advice for those of you who just started out drawing ovo
1.) DRAW STUDY DRAW!
- I draw at least one thing every single day! rather it be a small doodle or a massive drawing! Youtube videos, art books, art tv shows, and the interwebs are good places to research and work on your art skills! Use them!
2.) develop an art style!
- Everyone has their own unique art style rather they know it or not! When you look on my fa you can easily see that I have my own way of drawing things. even if I took some of my work off of fa and put it on a website like.... Inkbunny you can still easily identify that I drew it. Studying other peoples art styles is a good way to devlop your own. it's kind of like a personal signature.
3.) Study your favorite artiest !
- Most of the people I watch I study to see what I like in their artwork :3 Small elements in their art styles help me get a better understanding of what I want my art too look like :>
4.) THE COLORLESS BLENDER/ YOU FINGERS ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS!
For People wanting to start out in the traditional field a colorless blender is your salvation! They are easy to use for shadeing and you can buy a whole pack of them in the art supplies section at your local Walmart for like 2 bucks o3o. If you for some reason cant afford them for some reason... you can use your fingers as shading tools.
5.) Cheap is good
This is more of a personal tip, but I find that spending over 100 dollars on a set of markers, colored pencils, or any art supply kit that is "Name brand" Is just stupid... I'm cheap and most of my art is done with cheap sketch books, recycled material, and home supplies. I refuse to waste 10 bucks on a small box of colored pencils when crayoloa is like 1.50 I CALL THAT GETTING TRICKED BY BUSINESS!
6.) Draw no matter how bad you think your art looks!
Keep drawing! No matter how bad you think your art looks and post it! Half of my watchers knew me from my
nightrabbitshinys days and they saw just how bad my art looked but they to this day keep supporting me to move forward! So DONT GIVE UP!
7.) Draw other peoples Furrys/Oc's
I do alot of free art! it helps me get a better understanding on how to draw other peoples characters! I also do alot of fan art as well! Dont just draw the same characters over and over until you get bored and toss them away.
8.) HAVE FUN!
Art is supposed to be about enjoying what you draw and post! even if you only get 1 fave on that image you posted if you sat there and took time out of your day to attempt to do it, then you should be proud of yourself :D!
and thats all I got XD happy arting :3
