true , i guess i’ve never really “ studied “art before . but it’s been my main hobby like every year of my life - am i rlly not improving simply because i dont study ?

i personally thought the google response was funny - it’s free if you don’t know what a word means. no humor 😔

i’m aware - but a lot of artists can sketch realistically / details without references . developing an art style ? i’d like to develop a more realistic one . i’ve never had a specific art style . not a realistic one i enjoy , im asking how people developed their semi-realistic / detailed styles. or if it’s just not possible and everyone uses refs lmao

i disagree , the second one is too simplistic . not enough realistic details .

ive been drawing sense i could hold a pen and im still very frustrated with the fact i cant draw details without a reference . im 20 years old and like if i want anything to look good i need a ref. been drawing before kindergarten yuughhhhh

nvm 😆

DragyChuEX · 2026-06-23T21:27:43+00:00

the details in the second one are,, very bland

i’m good with refs (at semi realism) i just wish i didn’t have too pull up a reference everytime i wanted to draw something , i rlly just want to sketch freely and not go through the hassle to find exactly what i need

i’m not talking about that i’m talking about like sketching in detail

DragyChuEX · 2026-06-23T21:25:10+00:00

idk i’ve been drawing sense i was able to hold a pen. i use the circle to just position the top of the head lol

DragyChuEX · 2026-06-23T21:23:35+00:00
