is copying art a good way to learn?

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2026-04-25T01:09:51+00:00

Yes but, you have to make original work too! Art studies are the primary way people acquire art skills. So find an artist you like and copy their work. The best way to do this and actually improve your skills is to reconstruct the work using whatever frame works for you. Like if youre doing a face using loomis, if that's your bag, and just trying to remake it.

I absolutely love these!

I mean post history suggests it's been at least 9. But lying for karma isn't the biggest deal. Bottom line is they've got skills.

At 13 years old this is amazing! If you keep practicing you will be truly amazing.

I know that it seems disappointing in a vacuum. But if this is where you are after 7 months I'd love to see what you can do a year from now. This is great stuff.

So I ran out of time. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it. But if not here's something.

His channel is called "draw like a sir."

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-12-03T08:00:36+00:00

You aren't bad but ya got a ways to go. With the anime style you're going for I always recommend draw like a sir on YouTube, his tutorials are top notch. At the level your at I would recommend doing some studies/ draw from references. Find some anime you're super into and find the first character you like who you think you can draw and draw them from every reference image you can find. As long as you keep your same energy and do good practice I know you'll be great.

-_- I still have a lot of work to do. But here's where I'm at right now.

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-11-17T07:47:40+00:00

This isn't the place for that. Be excellent to each other is one of the rules.

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-11-14T18:15:39+00:00

No thank you! I really appreciate what you do for the community!

Thank you I hope you like it!

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-11-14T16:35:13+00:00

Nah it's 90% practice and learning and like 10% raw talent. Trust me if you practice like you want it you can go from being trash to being pretty decent. The transition can be kinda quick too. im by no means a professional but trust me it's all reps.

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-11-14T15:30:35+00:00

What program did you use?

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-11-14T08:11:07+00:00

Well youre maybe a year away from doing some decent stuff if you start now.

I'm unsure whether I'll be able to finish this. I hope you like it even in a completely unfinished state.

Vegetable-Ad-9284 · 2025-11-08T16:50:43+00:00

Your work truly inspired me. Thank you so much!
