Black Book 3 - Expressive Lines (Patreon)

Dnumdez's practice has really paid off, this page is incredible! He has some advice about practicing and improving to share with you all, too:

"The first step of learning a new skill is definitely to build a habit for practicing only through practicing and trial and error  you can  improve your muscle memory

Second is what to practice or what to start with

Tbh if you are new to this just start lol srs don't overthink about what to draw what to practice just put something on the blank paper because if you are new to this your main goal is to build a habit

But if you have been practicing for a while then here are some of my tips

(I am also on the journey to improve my skill haha so you can just take these tips as a grant of salt )

First is definitely what  to practice , if you have a artist  friend or someone with a keen artistic eyes you could always ask them for critique about your latest illustration and from those critique you can find what you lack for example: maybe your face is not expressive enough, maybe your pose is stiff etc

What if you don't have a friend what should you do welp you can always look at your own art and your idol/the  artist you admire  compare your art to their art tgt you will see what you  lack and through that you can find what to practice and to study

And for the Bain of all artists haha which is how do you know you improved (this tips came from my lecturer)

First is having an artist friend or a teacher to judge whether you have improved or not

Well if you don't have any friend  then you can only hope for your future self or your  "future artwork " which means compare your current artwork to your "old artwork"  for example like  the old artwork before you started your practice you compare that  and your current artwork see what you still lacking on

But overall is about practicing PICK UP THE PEN"
