What classes have you taken / exercises that you’ve done / videos that you’ve watched that have helped you evolve your art? Or what have you done to keep learning and bettering yourself?

I feel like my progress and ideas are stagnating, and I’m not somebody who can afford fancy art school, so I’m trying my best to learn from people who inspire me!

Uhh non really, im pretty much fully self taught. I did go to college for art but it was fine art and i 3D animation in Uni, so you don’t have to do any fancy school stuff to improve your art. Drawing from life is really good, life drawing classes you can get them on youtube as well as going out and drawing just folks in cafes or scenery.

You art and your like of it ebs and flows, you usually feel like youre stagnating when you’ve had a leap of what you’ve learned vs what you can draw, itll come back. What i usually do when i feel that way is i either try out new pens or mediums! Maybe do some crafts, just let yourself rest and you can learn passivly by just observing, the way light hits certain objects, how clothes fold when you move, how people faces move when they express feelings. Resting can be just as powerful forcing yourself to draw, i have found resting and observing more activly has helped my art improve!
