#remember to take breaks between drawing!! dont wanna be exhausting yourself and making everything worse

[tianhai03]

How often do you draw? And (this one isn't in the list) there's any tips you have to draw bodies? I turned senior year and need tips to compensate the lack of train TuT

i used to draw much more, like. one drawing everyday. but ive gotten much busier due to school even tho i dont even care about studying lmao

nowdays my drawing schedule is really random, sometimes i draw for 5 straight days and sometimes i dont draw for a week. i need more time sobs

as for tips, im probably the last person you wanna ask about giving advices honestly hahahaha

what i do is that i break the human body into a few shapes and just kinda go from there (an example under the cut)

this is kinda bad but you probably get the gist of it, basically you dont wanna get too much into detail when you’re in the sketching phase, just kinda draw out how you want the pose to be while constantly checking if there’s any anatomy mistakes(unless if your art style is heavily stylized, mine isnt so i cant help you with that), then you start getting into the details like clothes, pants, skirts, abs when you think it looks okay.

when you draw more and more, you’ll eventually get the hang of it and even skip a few of the guidelines, but you need to take everything slowly. art dont just come to you like a snap, you need to give yourself time and put effort in it.

also dont be afraid to use references!! find pics on google, save them in a folder in your pc/phone, take pics of yourself doing the pose, ask your friend/family member for it if theyre okay with it!! whatever helps you, just use it.

that’s all, hope it helped it someway haha
