#Draw A Box is pretty useful for pen/line control 😩

Random but how long have you been drawing, Solar? Or are you one of those people who’s always drawn? Your art is so gorgeous, it’s like my ideal style. You have such a range and it’s so coool!! So I’m curious how long it’s taken you to get to where you are now:))

HII THANKUUUUU 🫶🫶🫶🫶💥💥💥

yesh I thiiink I am one of those people that’s drawn their whole life but like, as a little kid it was just satisfying to do, I wasn’t trying to actually make anything or improve hahaha

it wasn’t until I was around 10 that I got really into anime, especially the shojo genre, so I actually sought out drawing tutorials, but back then there really wasn’t much to work with ok 😩

i didn’t get a drawing tablet until I was around 14 though, and despite doing digital art since then, I was stagnant through my teens and didn’t try to actually learn until i was in my 20s. I’m still not great at a lot of things despite the time frame, so make sure to always study !!! I’ve seen people improve like crazy within a year or two, it’s really impressive.

(Of course, always remember to stretch and Have Fun, takes breaks. ALSO imo to make media you gotta digest media, so it’s good to seek out animations and art to absorb or take inspiration from 👍👍, Kiki’s Delivery Service is my favourite analogy for being an artist 😭)
