And lastly, sorry to blow up but it's a lot I'm summarizing, ending with this. Truly understanding and mastering the basics. Cliche, I know, but it's done a lot for me recently.

Studying from multiple artists who are better than you, I do like 3 currently. Trying to breakdown and figure out their style and methods. First using reference and take notes then try to apply that to a work of your own. Reading art books and videos on "studying effectively".

It's a couple things actually. Gesture drawing daily does more than I once thought. The way I study anatomy, after spending some time doing static studies. I started going over like my structure or gestures studies, filling in the anatomy from memory, only pulling from reference when I'm stuck.

Well deserved glaze 😌

These are so good, I came to the conclusion that I need to learn to draw backgrounds. I am yet to start.

I considered buying this but I fear my laptop may burst into flames
