@Hachi: i tend to do that a little myself.
But i'm getting better at it.

All of my studies i just choose pics from pinterest, color pick
and use different brushes to get the look i want.
It seems simple but its been helping me understand coloring better, like creating edges.
I was struggling a month ago with edges real bad. But now im understanding it.

Yeah i follow a lot and watch a lot of youtubers.
But she has great advice as well as JelArts.
JelArts has more cute style but great advice. Especially for beginners.

I dont think i'll do anything in advertising as i don't know much about it. :vanora_sweat:

ADLFKJ I've been slacking on these sorry. I'll try to get a few more done before the forum closes forever

@Moodybats: that's awesome, I'm glad to hear that you're getting the fundamentals down! I looked through your gallery in the art forum a little bit ago, and wow you've improved so much! I hope you keep at it.

oh I think I've seen a few of JelArts' videos, I thought they were pretty helpful! I also liked a number of videos from Sinix Design.

ahhh yeah marketing is tough. It sucks tho bc so many good artists don't get a lot of attention due to low social media traffic, like why don't they have more followers??

@Hachi: i couldn't stop now, even if i tried.
I love art too much to quit.

Yeah Sinix Design has some great tips as I also follow
and watch all of his videos.

Yeah, a lot of good artists I love have such a low number in followers that I am just like
"???how?"
So marketing is definitely a hard thing to do.
But eventually someone follows you if they like their work.
I haven't opened my account to the public as it's set to private
but i might open it as i made a prompt list for inktober and kinda curious if anyone will use it lol.

@Moodybats: I'm so glad to hear that with the kind of dedication you have, I'm sure you'll go far. that's one of the things that I really admire about you!

HM you know what other kinds of art videos I like watching and spending too much time on are like... storytime vids, where the artist just draws and tells you a story... I think they're relaxing and a nice time-filler.

yeah it's hard to figure out just how exactly it happens. The internet is just... so vast, and there are so many artists. I think there is some strategy involved, but also some luck too. That's something I've come to realize about a lot of things in life, haha
hey let me know when you do decide to open it up, I'll follow you

@Hachi: sometimes i feel I am not very dedicated since i don't practice or draw everyday
like I should. :vanora_sweat:

Ah I've never really watched any of those. Most of the time i watch tips, tutorials, or speed paints.
I'm very much on the studying road. Idk i feel if i watch anything else i'm wasting time.

Awsome I totally will. I'm planning to open it up after I finish the first day prompt. I am starting early
because I am a bit..on the slow side. So once I finish it and upload the prompt as well i'll let you know.

@Moodybats: aslfkj don't be so hard on yourself, I feel like a lot of people would agree that you're very dedicated
it's really hard to stick to studying the way you have, and you've been doing it for so long now.

I understand that, sometimes it's hard when your hobby is also your job, to separate work from play.
But just make sure you take breaks too. Do something fun to relax and enjoy yourself a little, it's important to avoid burnout.

That sounds great I'll try a couple of your prompts too. I won't be able to commit to the entirety of Inktober but I'll do a few here and there

@Totalanimefan: asldkf you don't have to send me anything, it's a freebie

@Hachi: I just know my bad habits is slacking. I know some days it's okay
to take a break but some days i really should spend at least an hour on some practices
and just sit down and focus on the studies i feel i should do. :vanora_sweat:

Yeah. I mean...drawing is also for fun for me. Though I do have a few games
I can play if i am too stressed to make art like sims 4 or TERA.

This is my very first inktober so i originally didn't want to do the whole month.
Now I kinda do lmao. But sounds like a good plan.
I feel inktober might help me draw and post more on my instagram and maybe gain some followers
since i'm opening it up soon.

@Totalanimefan: ahh all right, thank you so much

@Moodybats: asdlfkj yeah slacking and procrastinating are things that we're all guilty of unfortunately... I admire your self-discipline tho!
Do you spend most of your time on studies or do you kinda switch between studies and drawing for fun?

yeahh it should stay fun! sometimes when I feel forced to draw it's no longer fun, so that's when I get really stressed about it Games are a good way to relieve stress tho.

Inktober is definitely great for encouraging artists to draw daily! It would be cool if you were to do the whole month, but even if you only do some days that's an accomplishment.
I tried to do the whole month ahhh 2 years ago?? but it stressed me out too much so I stopped after a week or so

@Tsundererra: I went with your old one bc I really liked the colors

@Hachi: Really? I feel i lack so much discipline.
I tend to work on and off between studies and personal fun projects.
Though taking a mini break from studies and working on inktober. Which will help in the long run.

So i feel inktober is honestly a mix of both study and fun.

Yeah same. Though i can never seem to really take a whole day for a break.
I always wind up drawing at the end of the day somehow lol.

Yeah i've never followed a prompt or done it before so i'll just see how it goes.
It might challenge me and inspire me as at times i feel i need a great challenge.

@Hachi:
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! THANK YOU SO MUUUCH!!!
And I like the color scheme of my old avi better too. That shortcake color with that blue or mint green is my favorite combo.

Gonna send a tip, but omggg kicking myself for going on a shopping spree last night. T^T I promise the tip will be bigger next time if I catch you doing another freebie, or I’ll just buy you out if you have a store or do an auction. xD

@Tsundererra: you're killing me, so many volts thank you for the tip, I'm glad you like it
and ALFKFJD first you ruin the economy and now you're gonna topple the art scene huh, that your master plan

@Moodybats: haha you may think so, but there are a lot of people who don't dedicate time to studies (uhhhhhh /cough me) and also some people who slack but don't own up to it. so I think you have a lot of self-discipline in that regard!

I think it's good to switch between the two it's like taking breaks between studies, and I think it helps keep your creativity flowing. what do you like to draw for fun?

yeah Inktober can definitely be both! following prompts is a lot of fun. I think interpreting the prompt in your own creative style is the best part. I did a lot of prompt sketches for art class in high school and I remember one year I took every prompt and twisted it into a sarcastic, snarky meaning ADLFFKJD
my friend did something pretty neat for last year's inktober, where she weaved each prompt into a single comic story. I think the most important thing is to just have fun with it

@Hachi: yeah that is true.

I guess i really like to draw people, characters and design characters overall.
Though I would like to expand that to also painting people one day when i get better
at painting.

Lol nice. This is honestly my first time using prompts.
Though if all goes well I might do another one. I usually get most excited for Mermay or Inktober the most.
But might find some other ones to do.

Ooo that sounds neat.
Yeah true. The first prompt i am doing is going alright. My anatomy skills are not too good
but i still think it's looking good so far.
