@aleksanterii2730 3 жыл бұрын

I would start with following artists that you like. Then find things that you like from their work. Whether its color, shading, line or depht. Then just simply figure out how to incorporate that into your own work. You can watch tutorials or just simply the artist's process if you can't figure out how to replicate that :)

1. Don’t water down your paint as it can make it streaky, instead to want a creamy consistency 2. Use it a dry brush to blend your wet paint but make sure to wipe the brush off each time 3. Use a little blue for the whites of the eyes/ mix each primary color with white Lol this comment is more so for me than anyone else, I need to summarize your points to make sure I got it and I’m always rewatching your videos

I just started painting again and I’ve been doing greyscale portraits. I recommend this if you’re wanting to practice shadows and highlights! Full color is a bit more complicated, so the greyscale is a great way to practice since it simplifies things 😇😇😇

Taking breaks is essential but sometimes I just forget or give up on my painting. Maybe set a timer or listen to some music for a certain amount of time then force yourself to go back and keep going.

@sierrastar5155 2 жыл бұрын

I find it important to never force myself to paint or draw as it often leaves me disliking it for a while. If you do it when you’re inspired and motivated then you will get much better results even if it means taking a few days or even months inbetween paintings /drawings.

I started taking up art again, so I’m pushing myself to learn acrylic, water color and oil based paints. Although I don’t have a lot of perspective or anatomy drawing experience, I keep winging it. My learning process is different due to my dyscalculia (like dyslexia, but with math and other weird stuff). Watching this gave me more confidence in painting with acrylic, thank you.

Sometimes I find it hard to get inspired by all those professional and extremely experienced artists who always have the perfect expensive supplies and somehow so much time and never get stressed. You show me that you can make incredible art without all of that. Thank you so much, your art is amazing!
