i feel like i need to work on my composition and stuff for my art- like i like what i do but i need to figure out what my style is, figure out how to color better, and just like play around with stuff more- my art has changed a lot since joining the dndads fandom last march but it’s still not quite how i want it to be.

so any tips on how to improve would be wonderful!!

How to Improve in Art

Improving in art is not something you do overnight. A lot of the time it can take years to get to the more advanced levels. I'm still learning and improving and I've been drawing for over 5 years. However, it is a very rewarding process as you can look back and see how much you've improved each year. I 100 percent recommend trying art and seeing if you like it. Here are 3 basic tips on how to improve.

Don't compare your skill to others.

My biggest tip for aspiring artists is to not compare yourself to others. There's this saying "comparison is the theft of joy" and it's so true. A lot of the time when we scroll Instagram or Tumblr we see very talented artists and may feel we aren't good enough at our craft. A lot of the time though, we fail to realize that those artists we look up to have been practicing and learning for years. They probably started off just like you. You just have to be consistent in your craft and one day you can get there too! You've got it! Let these great artist artworks inspire you, not tear you down. :)

Practice.

Practice practice practice. I know people always say this but never tell you how. I'd advise learning basic anatomy first. Try this video and branch out from there. Once you know how to construct the human body then you'll improve so fast, trust me. Another thing you could do is try line-of-action.com. They have sections for facial expressions, figure drawings and a lot more! Also, drawing characters you're passionate about can make it more fun to practice. These exercises will help with your art journey.

Study your favorites.

If you have a favorite artist, it can benefit a lot to study their art style and how they go about drawing. Maybe pick one of their artworks and try and copy the techniques. Don't trace it but simply have the reference to the side and focus on how they vary their lines, how they use colors and texture, or whatever really captivates you about their style. Then try and apply these things to your art. If they do speed paints that's even better. It will allow you to get an in depth view of their process.

Anyway, these are just a few tips to get you started. I'm sure there are a lot of more in depth guides out there but they can be quite overwhelming so I tried to just highlight a few. Hope this helped. :)

10 Tips On How To Find More Balance In Life

Finding balance in life can be a struggle, especially in a world that often seems to be constantly pulling us in different directions. However, achieving balance is essential for living a happy and fulfilling life. Here are some tips to help you find balance:

Identify your values: The first step in finding balance is to identify what is most important to you. This could include your relationships, your career, your personal growth, or something else entirely. By knowing what you value most, you can make sure that these things are given the time and attention they deserve.

Set boundaries: To achieve balance, it's important to set boundaries around your time and energy. This might mean saying no to social invitations or delegating certain tasks to others. It's okay to prioritize your own needs and well-being.

Make time for self-care: Taking care of yourself is crucial for finding balance. This might include activities like exercising, meditating, or simply taking a few minutes each day to relax and unwind.

Learn to manage stress: Stress is a normal part of life, but it can become overwhelming if it's not managed properly. Find healthy ways to cope with stress, such as through exercise, therapy, or mindfulness practices.

Find a healthy work-life balance: It's important to find a balance between your professional and personal life. This might mean setting limits on the amount of time you spend working or making sure you have time for hobbies and interests outside of the office.

Seek support: Finding balance can be challenging, and it's okay to ask for help. Consider seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist to help you navigate this process.

By focusing on your values, setting boundaries, and taking care of yourself, you can create a sense of balance in your life that leads to fulfillment and happiness.

Worry

I know it hasn't been that long, but i've drawn for quite a while now, almost 3 years if i count my traditional era /?, but coming up with pose is still the hardest thing for me and i left me wondering, is that normal? I've been consuming a lot of art related content lately, thinking that it would give me some inspiration/motivation, but seeing how people can improve significantly in like 3 years, and how they can create new art seemingly without any kind of difficulties, especially when coming up with pose, makes me question a lot of stuff instead, and now i kind of depressed because of it. Maybe i shouldn't think about it too much, or maybe i should just take a break for a while.

I genuinely think that any change in behavior starts w telling yourself that your worst days, worst performances, just worst moments in general aren’t who you “truly are.” It’s all about unlearning any thought process that essentially chalks up traits you aren’t proud of to “this is who I really am” “in reality I’m lazy” “in reality I’m just a bad person” bc not only is that never true, but it impedes your efforts to try to do better as well. Anything we struggle with has roots in things like childhood trauma, thoughts you’ve been fed before, your upbringing…. but never that you’re inherently a bad person. What I’m learning this year is that a lot of us doing better & being better & improving really comes down to self-talk—to disavowing the very notion that deep down we’re simply bad.
