- Hey guys! Talking about art style has been a popular request, so I thought I'd finally made a video about it. It was a little tough to explain but I hope I did a good job~

Whenever someone says my hands are bad I just excuse it with “art style”
My art when I’m bored in class: ✅
My art in art class: ❎
You should see my maths jotter. Every page has a drawing on it, and my teacher hates it when pupils draw in their jotters.
Once he gave detention to somebody for a smiley face our other maths teacher had done in their jotter.
I don't let him see my jotter. Ever.
Loll

FR I HAVE SO MANY MISSING ASSIGNMENTS WHEN IT COMES TO ART BUT MY ART IS ACTUALLY DECENT WHEN IM NOT IN ART CLASS
Lmao I literally drew a realistic portrait of my sister out of boredom during online class xD and I don't have the slightest of talent or art education
I am in the “draw a cool picture with pencil and then ruin it with markers” phase

OOh yep
i don’t even color
wow

Something I found that really helps is if you scan the drawing, and then print versions of it to try to color I usually draw a star in yellow highlighter on the original drawing, and then make the copies in black and white, so I can se which is the original drawing.
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
My style is pretending that I can actually draw
My style is drawing like a kid

I know that feel. Until like yesterday, I was convinced I'll always use a quite realistic artstyle because I just love kinda realistic artstyle. Well I was just scribbling on paper a few weeks ago and I've drawn some chibi weird things. Yesterday I came to the horrible realization that I actually like them and now I can't decide which is my main artstyle. Like wtf brain?
*that moment when you find you style but then you look at someone elses*
Me: Why isn't mine like that???😭😭😭
DankBurstFlame I’m your 69th like... it’s perfect.
@Flower 34 but its the act of ALWAYS changing it that's the problem
same thoughts😣
DankBurstFlame // i always see a style and want to draw in it but i'm bad at replicating things and i'd be accused for """stealing"" the artstyle, and i want it to be unique to me so i'm just stuck hating my stupid artstyle
Veronica Felkner // EXACTLY :(
My art style is called- “perfect front facing heads with terrible anatomy” Edit- YALL, THIS IS AN UPDATE! I CAN NOW DO SEMI-REALISM!! It’s only been 11 months, and I fucking improved!
I can't do heads
@@M0n0chr0matic I can't do legs
I can't do side profiles
i can't do noses
i cant do mouths
I'm in the "I want to have a cute art style that will be faster to draw but I want to keep the anatomy correct like a taught myself my whole life- anyways it sucks and everyone else's style is better and nobody likes me" phase🥰
Honestly same- except for the part "fast to draw" I don't care how long it takes, I want to have a good art style. Instead I find myself not even being capable of drawing stickmen properly
My style is still in the process of puberty 😂
le smolest of beans wtf
Originsl comment ever
Mine's still a fetus, lmao
Aquatic Doodles same
le smolest of beans mine is not through puberty. Mine are way behind XD
My style is “what’s a smooth line?”

My style is - “Do nothing by yourself,Complete everything with everyone else help”
Mine is * aggressively shakes hand ✍️
My style is "I can draw but where do i put the lines?"
just use stabilizer
I’m still pretty young, so I haven’t found my style yet. You definitely helped me understand how. Thanks! Also did anyone else go through the “always have the hands behind the back” Anime phase?
@Bug i iterally skipped over the eyes phase i got good at it easily , but the hand is a final boss
i literally cant draw hands so i was stuck in that phase for ages BUT im trying to get better at drawing em
PLSSSSS I STILL DO THAT
Yup and I'm still in it! When I draw characters on paper they often have hands behind back
@@how.do.i.delete.this.32 i actually gotten better at the hands lol and now im in the head is too big phase i gotten good at hair too so i think im improving
My art style is called, "so inconsistent I can't actually improve, i'm stuck in a loop, please help"
I'm stuck in that loop too please help
Same-
I've been in this loop for 3 years. Someone. Help. Please.
I would help but I'm in the same problem
Thats how I was for the longest time until i started looking at my friends's art styles and took some things i liked and applied them to my art style... Hope this helps ❤️
No style squad woo!!
*cries in a corner*
Bouvardia Aj Even if your ten?
Bouvardia Aj I guess you have a point.
Bouvardia Aj what if you can't keep a style. Example: Two days ago you drew exactly like LavenderTowne, yesterday you could only draw like Draw with Jazza, and today you draw like Jaiden Animations.
( I dont mean you would draw like CZcams Artists, I mean you would draw in completely different drawing styles each day, cuz thats how I seem to draw :/ )
PrincessTearDrop I have no style ;^; *cries in corner*

Edit (06/09/21) aaaand i'm back lol
kinda hate my style
Hajime?! xD But honestly me to
@@user-jl1nk2ff8p lmao
Relatable tho-
My sketches at home have different styles every single time XD
Same I draw they different every timeeeeee
Same, sometimes if I post art, I get scared that people might think I trace since all the professional artists have their own style themselves
that moment when you draw everything perfect the body, face, eyes and etc. and you can't draw hands.....
Dear lord how?!
MaskaraGirl xXTotallyxX that is me... WHY HANDS WHYYYYYY D;
Know the feeling but I would suggest to draw as many hands as you can in weird position. Fist, pointing finger, grabbing beer, rolling cigarets... Its not that hard and I didn't have any experience with drawing people or took a lesson or watched tutorial nothing. Take a A3 paper and draw big :D thats how you learn it
i hate it when that happens
MaskaraGirl xXTotallyxX ME
MaskaraGirl xXTotallyxX So true XD It was pretty funny, I drew my first perfect hand that wasn't a fist and my friend jokingly said "curse you and your hands" cuz she couldn't draw them yet. Since then, I can't draw another perfect hand XD
Who else went through the “eyes closed with hands hiding” phase?
angeline808 i didnt draw eyes closed, but the hands hiding phase i rlly did.
nope, neither
Me uwu
Omgigod yess
I draw paws lmao
I’m in the “about to giving up and can’t find anything to draw phase”

which dumb "professional artists" tell people not to copy. copying is how you learn to draw , jeez
That Anime Guy my uncle XD
You can definitely start learning by copying, but maybe not tracing so much. Learn to draw by copying the way LavenderTowne does in the video. Unless you're tracing circles. Circles are hard
BoomSnag Well your work should of course not be copyied , but much of how you learn is of course copying
Well, as a dumb wanna be pro, I have concerns when it comes to copying. What happens if the artist you are copying is making mistakes? You will learn, yes, but there isn't a guarantee you'll learn something correct. If you are hobbyist you probably have nothing to worry about, but anyone more serious needs to start working on "realistic" things, learn the rules before you break them.
Copying is a great way to _start_ drawing and build confidence, or at least that's how it was for me. Then you start to draw from life, looking at pictures of real people and such.

Im still in that phase :(
I did😔

I actually learned that you don't have to make it the same width. Its better to let it be slightly messy. Having different strokes makes it have more depth actually.
can I just say, my art style was also a bit inspired by yours, I love your style so I decided to get some stuff from it and implement it into my own style, you were a big inspiration for me
What my style became since it took me forever to get liners and pens scared me: Commitment? Line art? Never heard of it.
That said, I've actually had a lot of people tell me that clean lines just dont feel "me" and that they preferred messier sketches or messier/more jagged line art. I also kind of prefer it (and not just because it's easier)
I'm in the "I want to have this art style but I can't find enough good references to develop it" phase
Same cries
SAME
me too✨ we’ll figure it out eventually hopefully
SAME
Same!!
my style is procrastinating
And the mine one is do nothing
This is me everytime I think of a new idea for art... 😐
Same
Cupa, same bruh. Same.
Cupa Mines is edgy.
This is really awesome cause I always feel guilty when I copy someone else's art style even positions , I feel like I don't deserve the praise I get.
I’ve been in the ‘I hate my art style but I suck just enough that my art style is the best I can do’ phase for several years now
bro same
My art style is cartoony but with an anime influence. I love anime eyes but also smooth, cheerful shapes.
Same or at least that's what I'm trying for
That's mine too! Simple style but with an anime feel
Lmao when I was about 12 the only animes I knew were death note and yandere so I loved it and I thought that all anime was edgy and dark and creepy but then one of my friends showed me fairytale and I dropped anime like I'd grabbed the hot end of a curling iron cause I cringed so hard lmao because lemme tell you I hate fakeout deaths and even more I hate every villain turning good.
woah i wanna see it :o
Same lol (for human heads they look like weird anime like) and I hate people asking:
Is tHaT aNiMe???
I have a couple different styles, but anyway I have some tips.
1. DO NOT
Let ANYONE tell you your style is bad. Its YOUR Opinion.
2. Let yourself be free.
Draw whatever, whenever.
3. Doodle. What does it seem you like drawing most? Draw that a lot.
4. Have as many styles as you want!!
5. If you see something wrong with a piece you've worked hard on, oh well. Its something for you to cherish. Its beautiful.
6. SPEND TIME ON IT
Draw frequently.
I have a problem - I'm decently good at drawing, but only when I'm doing fanart. I have a tendency to copy styles almost _exactly._ If you put my fanart for say Rick and Morty alongside my fanart for Death Note you wouldn't believe they were done by the same artist.
So how do I develop my style? I've tried and failed to mash things up. It looks bad and when I try to fix it it becomes one of the things I'm trying to mix up in the first place >_
What is a good type of way you like to draw that pleases you? Anime, chibi, simple, or basically pick a style you like and is easiest when doing fanart.
For example, anime. If you like that, you should use it. If there is any thing that you would like to add and take away, go ahead.
One of my styles are anime.
But I changed up the eyes a bit and mouth and also the hair.
Also, you could have many styles.
A tip on drawing is sketching out the body and the bone structure and basically whole body.
don't erase sketches until you're done.
tutorial throughout drawing USE PENCIL**:
1. Sketch body of the character. Make it in the pose you want. note that you can make this how messy you want, it doesn't matter/
2. Add hair, but make sure its not just scribble hair. You know what I mean. I do thick locks, not every strand separate from another..but if you want to do that, go ahead.
3. Add the face in the position, and, emotion you want
4. face is pretty much done, just add shading if you want or blush.
5. clothes...if you want to, put shading and wrinkles in clothes.
6. outline all details in outliner or sharpies, or pens, just something permanent
7. erase sketches
DRAWING DONE!
I hope I helped you!
What do I like drawing most?
*maniacal laughing*
D O K I D O K I
Thank you very encouraging! I grew up on anime and I have my own style for that pretty down but its probably still evolving! Now I am taking interest in western styles and old cartoon styles like Rubber Hose style and more so I want to develop one like that as well! Art is so fun! Enjoy everyone and don't worry you will get there!
@Cwoo!, dont beat yourself up about it. Keep drawing until you like what you draw, and take criticism into account. Ask people about what they like least about your art, and you might realize that's what you don't like about your art and try to fix it! But whatever you do, dont get too upset about what other people say or even your own self doubt. Eventually, you'll find something you like and keep on doing it.
The copying as a little kid is something that I understand a lot. Art for me is a form of expressionism, and has saved me so many times.
Everyone: Listens to her and some find their style
Me: Just watches her draw
Yeah, me too I'm actually trying to copy her style lol
Hope it's not stealing
@@enderskitty7002 u cant steal an artstyle as long as u dont steal characters
Finding an art style for an artist is like finding the purpose of life XD
(Wait what why do I have so many likes)
Nico Nico Nii true lmao
You have perfectly summarized how hard it is to find your art style.
yeah... I might as well not have a purpose in life right now...
Are you okay buddy?
"You'll see purpose start to surface"
Idk if this was intentional but is that a kitchen sink reference
I call my style the "when you try your best but you don't succeed......." style :'3
Wolfie A. Omg me too ;-; :')
Wolfie A. That's the best one! ^-^

This girl gives better advice than the more popular artists. You deserve so much more love. My cousin showed me this channel a couple of weeks ago because she loves art and knew I wanted to get better at it. She is really inspired by you, and so am I. You are the best!
The copying thing is actually what actually made me take drawing more seriously. I would redraw lots of scenes from Hazbin Hotel and that influenced some of my art

Just keep drawing. Would find it. Don't think about that when you're drawing. At some point you will bild one. It seems to me that I have no style either but I've stopped care about that too much or I would stop drawing. Don't worry it'll happen.
• k a k a s h i • I drew when I was two years and eight years after it I found my style just take your time
Same here my friend same here T_T
Same. Lol I just draw, and it changes suddenly, and I have no idea how it happens.
I felt like my drawing weren't complete enough
Then I added a nose
And now I always draw noses
I remember when I was in 3rd grade I sat next to these to girls who said my stick men were ugly and then I drew some other thing with no nose and then drew a nose like 5 years later and felt so proud

I am so glad I watched this! Thank you LavenderTowne! I was having so much trouble drawing to the point I wanted to quit until I watched this! This is why you are my Idol at drawing!
I've been loving your content the last few days, the way you give advice and talk about the topics is very down to earth and "soft"
I feel most artists, like you said, just tell you to practice, to find your own way and not look at others and I'm sure they mean it in a positive way but that's good advice for someone that already knows how to draw and simply needs to go to "the next level"
For absolute beginners tho, your content is a godsend, I really mean it when I say thank you, I've picked up digital drawing and I'm happy with my progress so far, partly because of your videos:)
i was sitting here, listening to everything you were saying. i kept thinking “i wanna be able to draw. i want to draw.” i also thought “i know how to find my art style, she’s literally telling me how to. you’ve been drawing since wonder pets was still aired.” then it all came to me. i grabbed my stylus, opened infinite painter, and started. i started with the shape of the head, circling around the top. the. eyes and everything came to me then. i’ve found my art style. thank you.
@007tempest wonder pets was THE CRAZE back then
wdym "back then" that was like 7 years ago not thaaat long
THIS WAS SO CUTE 🥺
Omg I loved wonder pets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@leoniztrxsh5325 ikr that's the first thing I thought of
I’m 8 and that’s important for what im about to tell you, I found what I liked drawing the most by just copying what my friend did to draw. She was very good at art and I was not, she was AMAZING for her age! You could literally mix up her anime with a 15 year olds anime! So being the competitive little brat I am, ‘-‘ I started drawing her art style, and asking her for help, and learning her techniques, soon I got bored of anime characters with wolf ears a tail and a standard woman’s THIN body. And one day in art class I was curious after watching a naruto episode with my brother, I had never seen other anime at the time and in art class I wondered … “is there other ways to draw anime?” Narutos style of anime was so different than mine.... So I searched on the school iPad “anime drawings” and down the rabbit hole I went! I eventually stoped copying and came out of my comfort zone. I didn’t want to draw ears on this character, I didn’t want to make her thin as a stick! And I didn’t want to trace, because at this point I wanted to be able to make real art without tracing. And after that, I started practicing art none stop, and currently my style is a slightly curvy anime with realistic proportions and hair but fantasy enough nobody expected it coming! And that pretty much explains how I got my art style!
This- you're eight, I wish I was into art as much as I am now when I was your age, I can't-

I can’t believe I’ve watched you for so long! I decided to return to this video specifically since I want to start my own channel and comic now that I’m older and could handle that. I’ve noticed my art still has aspects I picked up from you from when I was 10 years old. You’ve been one of my biggest and most consistent motivators in my art journey and I’m really glad I found your channel. So even if you don’t find this comment I want to leave my thanks since I don’t often comment. You’ve been and will continue to be a great artist and inspiration to me.
I'm scared that when I find a style I enjoy and am comfortable with its gonna be really similar to someone elses and then its gonna seem like I'm just copying them
same 😑👍

So do you want to make a no style club?
This popped up into my recommended and I am so glad it did. I have been a lil lost with my style and this helped me find it easier. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I have watched a lot of videos and read a lot of stuff on social media about finding your style and such. I've always known what direction I wanted my style to go but never really where to start to find my style. When you said something about making rules for your style, that really seems to stick with me and I feel like I may be able to go about finding a style I enjoy a lot. I'll try to come back and edit this once I've got a style for myself. Thank you!!!
I get bored so easily with styles so I'm always jumping to the next one. I don't know if I'll ever have my "own" style at least a style that will stick.
Death Queen feelin ya, mine changes EVERY time i figure out a new angle to anatomy (my pitfall is in my anatomy). I cant get a style to stick, although if i go back through my work i do notice similarities between my current drawings and the kind of stuff i did way back in primary school, (just more refined because, you know, i didnt know anatomy was even a thing in primary school).
SilverDirt Draws yeah but I'm the type of person who never likes to keep things the same I always want something diffrent that's probs why my style changes. Maybe it's the same for you *shrugs* who knows.
Yeah, some artists don't really have a certain style but, that doesn't make you NOT a artist.
I used to be like that, I would switch styles almost daily, and a lot of them would look incredibly similar to whatever artist I was into at the time. obviously this changed a lot and I would find that one particular style wouldn't work for a particular artwork so I'd either switch to one I'd already developed or develop a new one for that piece, and after about three or four years of this I finally got something similar to the style I use now. it still changes a lot but it's less drastic changes now, usually I just change parts to make them more realistic because I'm trying to work out real proportions before I simplify it, but I think it proves that just because your style changes a lot now doesn't mean it'll always stay that way.
You could try to let the style find you instead of searching for one. Try as many as you like and while you do see which characteristics stick to you and which you like best. Also having multiple styles isn't bad at all, it's actually better.
Everyone had that one phase where their drawings either: Hands in pocket, Hand behind back, Or Sleeves covering hands.
me who always tried to draw hands: 👁👄👁
I'm in the sleeves covering hands
Me in a nutshell : Which one? I want all em'.
For me it was or sleeved because it was still cute but usually I just kinda drew blobs😳✌️
Yep. When I learned to put hands behind back it was great
Ty a lot for this vid lavender.you have helped me realize that I don’t HAVE to keep changing my art style every day.and like literally copying other art.now I now realize that I have My own art style.it’s okay if it’s different,thank you a lot for helping realize this.love your vids!
You , South Park , z-toon comics and some animes makes my final art style and I'm so thankful for ur works 💖
"everything I saw would leak into my art for a while"
Sounds like me except instead of art I feel like it affects my personality for a while
Camden Lushman TRUE
Does anyone get like, art style dysphoria?? Like I like semi realism but I also love cartoony stuff too and my art style basically goes back and forth :///
I am doing mixtures with my style!
Um boi me too
I adjust the realism depending on the character. I usually make more stoic or scary characters lean a bit more on the realistic side, but it can also go the other way 'round.
That describes me perfectly. I love both semirealism and cartoon but I basically get art dysphoria whenever I draw...
juunbug I have roughly 5 different art styles that I switch between. So I agree. Semi-realistic (like comic books), more cartoony, and a lot of little variable styles
ok but she’s drawing with a mouse like
*how*
she actually uses a drawing tablet!
"i wanted my story to not take four years to finish"
*she literally took 6 years and she's not even done LMAO*
/j i respect her work and i know its hard--- just saying its probably not what she expected
LavenderTowne: Stick with your style until it becomes second nature!
My heart: Sounds easy!
My eyes, brain and hand:
*shut up*
Same
My brain:
Bro. I think we can do this
My heart: yea lets do it!
My brain: shut up we cant do it
So true I keep on trying a lot of art styles but I’m goin through the phase where I think nothing is good enough 💀💀💀
@@What36868 same omg
My hand: Xcuse me ?? n o
can i just like
_have_ your style?
Sorry, but that wouldn't be unique, which is what art is about
@@matt-sn9mv I know, it's hard to find art styles. I'm quite creative (according to my friends and family, though personally I think they're over exaggerating) and yet I found it hard to find my style 😂
buttermilk I saw somewhere else that it’s good to do that
@@yurigacha-san1367 Being unique isn't really what art is about though. Look at anime, all of it has a relatively similar artstyle. You're allowed to have an artstyle similar or the same as someone else's as long as you're expressing yourself and like what you're doing.
Never!
You really inspire me alot. If I didn't see your videos I would have never thought about becoming a artist. I want to thank you for helping me become who I am today.😊
When I was doing my first oc, I started with tracing a picture of Mina Ashido and once I started drawing it more without the reference, I started to see my style. That method worked perfectly and i would recommend it so much :D
YALLLLL heres a tip that no one told me, idk if it’ll work for everyone but heres what i did:
i started drawing in pen instead of pencil and because you cant rub it out i just went along and kept sketching in pen, because of that it made my drawings better? cause i kept practicing instead of rubbing it out and thats also how i found my style in such a short amount of time. (also look at other artists styles and see what u like and try drawing that but dont like fully copy it) its only been a few days and ive found a style i really like, i just need to work on the eyes :)
I found my style while making fanart, i never used eraser as a child i always just draw with pen even now,i can draw a finished thing without erasing a thing and my style is pretty realistic so
I only found my eye style, but i will try what you said
The eyes are the hardest because they make things look completely different
Pen's good
I went from pencil to Ink pens! I got really bored with me erasing every tiny thing I thought looked wrong, So I stopped drawing for a time. until I started to draw with ink pens (Thanks to Inktober that got me interested) It felt easier in some weird way, because I couldn't rubb away the mistakes, so I got more confident that "I can actually do this!" instead of "That looked bad! Just rubb it away!" The only time I use pencils is when I am sketching really lightly! =)
I often draw nature like trees stones mountains (landscapes) and houses
Sorry for my bad English! I don't speak it normally!
After I watched this, I sat down for 8 hours straight and tried different things, and I’ve actually begun developing a style!! Very helpful, thanks so much!
Matsuyama Kitty aww good job!
I got inspired by you thank you!!!
I hope I do soon
Luckyyy and nice job
Coco Beans XD

Toxic Strawberry My style is a mix of a alot of artists.
My style is just weird xD (my profile picture wasn't drawn by me I found this picture on google and I didn't saw a "devianart" watermark so I just take a screenshot from it {Yes this isn't a picture,it's a gif} and I use it untill now except when I found my artstyle and I will change this photo
Not to brag or anything.......
But I can draw a stickman
bruh why da hell you be flexin
I can't draw a stickman well, they always turn out wobbly. I'm used to sketching realistic crap so I used quick little pencil strokes. Great on you to be able to do that, cuz I can't.
**g A S P** NO
Thats amazing!! 👏👏
Dang
Me who tries a new art style on every single drawing:😐I'm lost.
Im just getting most of my style from you and changing things to make it easier and a tiny bit different i love your style so much and look at so many. In my opinion, yours fit my abilities and over all style the most so thank you so much!🥰
*looked
A day ago; Yes! This is my new style!
A few hours later; Yes! This is now my better style!
A day later: •••
My style phases (so far)
1- stick hoomans
2- waffle blobs
3- “realistic” faces
4- sweatshirt galls
5- Gacha edits
6- bad anime
7- mitten kids
8-starfish beans
9-chibi beans
Woah we’ve gone through the same phases!
Silver Lollipop REALLY!! *COOL!*
I can’t draw Good TwT phases of me:
1: chibi
2 realistic cats
3: cartoon
4 comics
5 still life
6: chibi (again)
7: anime
8: kawaii cats
9: cartoon with realistic proportions (today)
cXtprism I’m currently going through a cartoon with realistic proportions phase too! Only thing is...I’m not very good at drawing lol
Silver Lollipop I barely have anyone to rate my art so idk if its good or not
I'm in the "I dunno how to line art but uh I have a style! just gotta improve a heck ton~" phase
I'm in my south park phase rn and I literally just look at the fanart for hours and save drawing styles that I love for inspiration. I can draw heads okay, and I just full on free style the faces but when it comes to drawing bodies I have to trace over references, but it ends up contrasting with the layout and style of the face ect and I just can't seem to make the bodies look okay with the heads. Another thing I'm struggling with is the shapes of the hair and all the textures in clothing and dhgfxhdeyugr it's just so hard, and I really want to be able to make south park animatics, I'm not giving up since I'm pretty much new to digital art and actually drawing good stuff, but it can just get so frustrating
Lavendertowne: bigger heads help shows expression
Me: draws big heads
Person looking at my art: tHe hEAdS tO biG!
Me: • • •
dont listen to them! dont let anyone put down ur style dude. do what YOU want, not what someone else wants
alec a thanks ♥️
Yes, don't listen to them! My style USED TO be like perfectly proportional characters BUT their eyes and mouths were bigger and more expressive. People were calling my style ugly all the time at school, later when I tried to find a publisher and so on. This devastated me so much that I gave up on it. Now I draw anime and want to kill myself. Now when I look at those old drawings I see a style that was MINE that was a part of me and it was ruined because I was an idiot. Don't listen to other people. They are not you and they cannot tell you how to draw in your style!
Sara Stanojevic I’m sorry that happened and thank you for the encouragement
I have the same problem now with my uncle saying that my drawing needs to be realistic like some artist he knows, but between you and me.... WE DON'T NEED TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE LIKE THEM, WE HAVE OUR OWN STYLE AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE!! NEVER FORGET THAT!!
How to develop your artstyle? In 4 steps
Step 1: learn anatomy
Step 2: learn how to draw hand
Step 3: learn how to draw cute girls
Step 4 draw cute girls holding hands
Thanks for the tips!
Awwww
conclusion: make lesbian ocs
omg
I think I made a mistake with the steps... I ended drawing cute guys and cute guys holding hands ;-;
This was SO incredibly helpful!! I feel like I know exactly what I need to do now as a beginner artist, was feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed before. Thank you so much! :)
This was a really useful video, especially the 'rules' of your style and sticking to them as something to consider.
