Q&A

How can I improve my drawing skills?

Consistent practice is the key to improving your drawing skills. Dedicate time each day to practice drawing from reference, experimenting with different styles and techniques, and challenging yourself with new subjects.

Is drawing from reference important?

Drawing from reference is crucial for learning and improving as an artist. It helps you understand the proportions, details, and shapes of the subject you're drawing, allowing you to develop a more accurate and realistic style.

How do you find inspiration for your drawings?

I find inspiration for my drawings from various sources such as books, movies, TV shows, and even everyday life. I also take requests from my viewers, which helps me explore different subjects and styles.

Creative blocks are natural and happen to every artist. When I face a creative block, I take a break, explore other forms of art for inspiration, and try new techniques. Sometimes, stepping away from the drawing helps me gain a fresh perspective and new ideas.

How do you stay motivated during the challenge?

The support and encouragement of my viewers play a huge role in keeping me motivated. Their positive feedback and comments push me to keep improving and challenging myself. I also remind myself of the progress I've made so far and the thrill of seeing my skills develop.
