MORE PIECES OF DRAWING ADVICE THAT HAVE STUCK WITH ME OVER THE YEARS
1. The longer you avoid learning perspective, the more obvious it becomes.
2. Yes, you can actually practice drawing straight lines. It’s not that fun, but it becomes relaxing, and always pays off.
3. Try not to post a drawing right after you finish working on it. Come back after at least 45 minutes to see if there’s more to be done.
4. Even masters make errors, the errors just get smaller and less perceptible.
5. The viewer’s eye always goes to the point of highest contrast.
6. Take hand breaks. Even if you’re really into it.
7. There is no “magic bullet” for getting better. It all comes down to doing the work-- Putting in hours of deliberate practice.
8. If you want more fans and followers, it helps to work in a consistent style, and on a consistent series.
9. ALWAYS make time for personal work. Even if you’re a professional.
10. Learn a lot about a little. Don’t skip around too much, especially when you don’t have a grasp of the fundamentals.
11. Don’t be afraid to fail doing your best. Nothing great happens when you hold back.
