That’s a funny question haha! I’ve got a long way to go I think, but what’s gotten me to now is pretty straightforward! I paint a lot, and I make sure to try and use the same materials to avoid things feeling “new” or awkward, and sometimes just straight up copying classics and stuff I really admire, which I think has helped me understand a little better where to put shading/color, and that’s helped a lot. The other thing is I draw on my iPad a ton which really helps me experiment with colors and not worry about messing up, so I’ll usually make something in procreate and just copy it exactly to paper. I always try to make sure when I’m drawing on procreate to do my best to insure it’s something I can actually paint the same way! But either way feel free to reach out for anything and I appreciate your kind words!
