But when you make shapes to draw a wolf or whatever, don't get the circle tool out, especially when whatever you're drawing is living. Nope nope nope. Maybe it works for you, but you really don't want to be too technical or else your drawing will look stiff and unnatural. The thing with shapes is to try to break up the main thing into organic shapes, not all clinical.

Line size contrast is so important! Of course, not everyone has pressure sensitivity (aka the pen gets thicker the harder you press down), but if you can change the pen size for smaller details like fur and facial features, do it! It'll make your art look so much more alive and dynamic.

Please excuse my poor anatomy sorry

More on this later!

This one is about comparison and improvement.

Of course, you should compare your art to others all the time. How can you improve? Where did you go wrong?

The wrong kind of comparison is "I totally suck compared to her!!!" and "I should just give up because people younger than me are already too good lol" and "why am I not like him?"

Not to say that you can't acknowledge it. Compare when you can learn from it, like the above. Comparison should happen for you to learn, not to bring yourself down.

Improvement.

This is a very frustrating topic. But know that you're always going to improve as long as you know what to fix and WORK AT IT. As in, draw. All the time. Every day.

This post is not completely finished, but this is an important thing every artist should be aware of.

Literally anyone, I think, can become a good artist. However, becoming an artist is a matter of effort.

It's very easy to be discouraged, but art takes time. You MUST make ugly things to become better.
