There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

If you're beginning 2025 with goals but you just "don't feel like" starting today, remember, the best time to start is when you don't feel like it. You have to rewire your mindset to change your routines. Make 2025 yours people!

Mix up those exercises with pieces that you do just for yourself, and don't worry about developing an unique style, that will come with time. Most importantly, take all of the above with a grain of salt, I myself feel that there's a lot I don't know, and I still have an infinity to improve. Cheers!

Try to expand your inspirations, look at the artists that inspired the artists you love, look at the real world, pay attention to artforms other than drawing, and in general be curious I guess. When studying, try to have fun with each exercise, learn to enjoy the process of markmaking by itself.

As some general advice that has worked for me: artbooks, (or just looking at the artists that inspire you), are a great tool for learning if you take the time to carefully study the decisions that each line has behind rather than just looking at the superficial details.

Lastly, and this is not really a fundamental, but the book "Rendering in Pen and Ink" by Arthur L. Guptill is a lovely tome if one is interested in late XIX - early XX century inking styles. I've learned a lot from there.

On composition, the book I have is "Framed Ink: Drawing and Composition for Visual Storytellers". Also, a good exercise: take an art piece you like and draw it simplifying it to its simplest forms and three values: black, grey and white.

Writing these pretty fast so excuse me for any typos. About color, "Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter" by James Gurney is a cool book.

They will give you a basis of freehand constructive drawing and perspective, which are useful to be able to break down references you are drawing from into basic 3D primitives, no matter if you use a ruler or not, and get an intuitive grip on perspective. They will also teach so some line control.

Lur Noise @lurnoise.bsky.social · Aug 4

You'll provably also benefit from knowing the basics of perspective, which can be found in a thousand places, get familiar with the theory.

I also recommend the lessons and box and cylinder challenges of drawabox.com.

About anatomy and figure drawing, Proko's YouTube channel and website has some lovely resources, both free and paid. I especially recom his figure drawing and anatomy courses. There is other stuff I could recommend, but I'll leave it at: find some live model session or vids and practice from there.

Lur Noise @lurnoise.bsky.social · Aug 4

The fundamentals are the basic disciplines you should study to draw representatively, you can stylize and break all the rules you learn here of course, but they are useful to know: perspective, anatomy, composition, color... Stuff like that.

Lur Noise @lurnoise.bsky.social · Aug 4

First of all, some disclaimers. All the advice I can give is based on what I feel has helped me draw the kind of stuff that I draw and to be what I am: someone that nearly and hopefully fully in the near future, but not yet, makes a living out of it.

Artists, actors, writers, devs, etc etc:

find a way to find your own intrinsic value, who you are outside of your creative profession, or it will chew you up and spit you.

If you are only happy when you get a role/commission/gig/whatever, and miserable otherwise, you're gambling with endorphins

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb.

It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around.

It is the Rage Against The Machine of games

The Hades franchise has been everything I could’ve wished for since 2020.

I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short on… time?

Maybe now, time won’t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.
