I appreciate you dude that means a lot. All I did was studying some Cezanne paintings to learn what colors he used for light and shadow on the skin

hi so you make like such fluid drawings and your anatomy + faces + stylization are all fantastic, and i was just wondering how you got your art to that point? my technique rn is just doing photo studies and sketches from real life, but i was wondering if you have any specific practices that youve done a lot and/or just anything else that youve found helpful :3

i think the speed of drawing can help, when i did life drawing in uni we barely did a pose for long than 5min, (once a term maybe we got 10min) the majority of the poses we did were 20sec - 1min.

this can teach you to make every single line count and fluidity comes with speed, its much easier to draw a nice looking curve with a flick of your wrist than spending 2-5seconds drawing the same line and if you practice the flick and practice speed, you'll be able to accurately guide it much better.

the speed can help you really notice the important bits to show whan you're drawing sometime, limiting yourself like that means you don't get bogged down in the details.

as for likeness, this ask answers all i really have to say, it's just a lot of reference images and practice :)
