#I learned how to draw faces and the patterns/ratios there by drawing Tom Hiddlestons Loki every day for like 3 years

I love your art ! Did you learn the fundamentals / anatomy or anything in the beginning of your art journey?

No actually I was never formally taught, nor did I seek to learn!* I never really considered myself an artist till… I guess this year?

I like figuring stuff out by looking and then copying it down directly. I can draw pretty fast (I think) because I don’t normally sketch apart from legit one or 2 ‘guiding’ lines. I grew up thinking that’s how it was done, and didn’t have access to the internet to tell me otherwise till I was 15.

A lot of times I don’t understand what my fellow artists are saying when they talk about things, I do know what “hatching, line thickness & dynamic” mean because I’ve been given very kind compliments about them before.

These are the tips I do know off! The oven mit thing happens mainly in my head though I just jump to the last step and use my own hands as reference when the pose is more complicated.

*except my senior year I took up a freshman art class cus I had leaned all my other classes n tested out of a bunch of subjects so I had like 3 free periods & they hand to find ways to fill my schedule
