Are you still running your spicy Twitter account?

not really, it’s more like an archive now of my old works, all the new ones are posted on my patreon!

It took me some time but I think I finally figured out what helps me stay happy with my art and what works and doesn't work for me so I have some tips that may be obvious to some but maybe helpful to others in case you ever felt unhappy with your art:

  • I often felt stuck in my own art style as it was too polished and restrictive in some ways. I felt the need to finish my drawings in a specific way to keep them consistent and it became the pattern that was taking away all the joy of creating new art for me so now I try to have a little bit more fun with what brush I use, how I use it, with how I do lineart (sometimes I don't) and how I render
  • I experiment with different brushes instead of only using one and the same all the time so my brain doesn't feel like it's in a cage
  • with each drawing I feel like I work against time as I get bored with what I draw quite fast and as my current interests change pretty often. I must finish drawings quickly but my perfectionism doesn't allow it since every drawing I make still NEEDS to be perfect and it only brings me more stress so I need to remind myself that
  • SKETCH IS A FINISHED DRAWING!
  • I don't need to make a perfect line art, the coloring doesn't have to be on point every time, as long as I had fun drawing something and I'm happy with the end result that's all that really matters
  • warming up before drawing makes a big difference so draw some lines and circles
  • taking breaks is important, if you don't feel like drawing don't push yourself because that will only make things worse and you'll feel more tired and art blocked
  • and if you really feel like you want to draw but feel stuck/uninspired - start small with a simple sketch in a sketchbook or some doodles on a piece of paper
  • no step forward is too small
  • so don't be so harsh on yourself!

Any advice on staying consistent with your art style?

I don't think I'm the right person to ask that question hahah, I feel like my art style changes drastically every couple of months AND THAT'S OKAY, I remember how I was always bummed out about it when I was younger that my art style looked different on each drawing and I was so locked in on finding my art style that it actually took all the joy from creating so I let it progress naturally without forcing it.

my best advice is - try not to focus on it too much, your art style is going to change and evolve constantly and it's okay, it's how you learn new things and how you grow as an artist so you can be better and better with what you do!

so let the art style find you. it takes time but it's totally worth it, cause it's the journey that really counts after all. I hope you have fun with it!

I mosty use Procreate and Clip Studio Paint! I really enjoy using Procreate cause it's very intuitive and feels like using a normal sketchbook so it's really nice. I'm sure there are many free alternatives if you don't want to spend that much money but since I don't use them that often I cannot recommend you any of them, I’m sorry :( but I really recommend Procreate and Clip Studio, they're both really great!
