I hate to bother but do you have any advice to someone who's trying to improve at drawing? Tbh you're one of my favorite artists online and every post you make is a treat so even just having a fraction of the skill you do would be a boon. Also, what art program do you use and do you have any favorite go to brushes?

AAAAA888888 you're not bothering me at all i'm gonna explode i'm really so honoured to hear that HELLO!!!!!!! thank you so much, it really means a lot to me!!! ;;;;_;;;;; I'M GONNA DO A READ-MORE JUST IN CASE i have a feeling it'll look long

i'm self taught but the process was not the best so it took a while to get here and i had no planning laid out for myself but with what i know now, i think if i could start over, i'd do it like this (since i cannot in good faith recommend u to just stumble for over a decade):

find something you really like drawing (get addicted to ocs. seriously!!!),

follow enough artists to get inspired but not discouraged (ik a lot of people who would treat it as some sort of race or competition or something that's out of reach, and it would bring them down, it's good to have inspiration and goals but u gotta keep ur mental safe!!), but also

do studies, some artists post their studies which is really nifty But it's probably better to do some on your own too bc you'll get a better understanding of things (it sounds boring but i think it's fruitful and fulfilling, i don't do them often but when i do it's a good feeling) also whether you're doing clothes studies or pose studies, do something that will make them fun for you, like drawing an oc or character you really like in that pose or clothes

have fun and take your time with things and do not be hard on yourself‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ pace yourself and draw for yourself!!

i use clip studio paint, it goes on sale every couple of months, every time for 50% (though you could probably yoink it somewhere for free?? but i'm not sure if that'll allow you to download new brushes)

speaking of WHICH these are the brushes (and tool) i use most often (there's a lot of brushes on csp for you to download and play around with so you should do that and test em out to see what works best for you!! there's a LOT of fun tools/brushes to test out)

download links

first: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1746109 (50 clippy, csp sometimes gives that currency away through login bonuses like gacha (i'm not even kidding))

second: (i've been trying to find a link for over an hour now and i can't find it i'm really sorry abt that BUT i think any brush works, it looks easy to replicate or to find an alternative!!)

third: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1759448 (it's insane and it's FREE, it also has clear instructions on how to use it within the link)

i hope that answers everything, thank u again!!!
