How to draw EARS tutorial by STUDIOBLINKTWICE

Ey yo!! Kathy, do you have tips to learn to draw faster? I know artists have a unique pace but it's pretty embarrasing that it takes me a week to draw something small n simple.. I want to be a cool artist that posts at least once every 2 or 3 days ;;

as you practice drawing more, and learn more art stuff (like anatomy, composition, gestures, coloring, shading, etc), you’ll get faster since you won’t spend as much time on every single step. eventually, you’ll figure out what works and what doesn’t, and you’ll be able to use that knowledge with future drawings. tbh i’ve always been a pretty fast sketcher, but i guess something that i always do is that i keep my sketches extremely vague and loose looking, and i finalize and draw in details along the way. my final drawings sometimes change really drastically from my initial sketches, but that’s because i’m not afraid to adjust my drawings as i line more. here’s an example of my progress to give an idea of how i draw

also goals are always something you’ve just gotta work up to! everyone has their own pace with drawing, and their own pace with learning. it’s hard not to compare yourself with everyone around you, but you just gotta do you, you feel me?

Tutorial: How to Draw a ONESHOT Comic (with limited pages)

I’m not an expert but I like hands a lot so hopefully some of this was helpful!

Some tips about dynamism:

-Your sketches will always be dirty as fuck at the beginning. It’s normal and it’s okay. What you’re looking for is the right movement, intensity and direction, not drawing the next Mona Lisa.

-Try a lot of different posings, the first one will rarely be the right one. Some posings will feel better than others. You can then focus on the ones you like best and push/exaggerate them.

-Use!!! references!!! Analyze the action you want to draw! Look at what moves and when it moves (the hand moves faster than the elbow maybe? the hip rotate to follow the bust maybe? analyyyyze!)

I realise that this is the shittiest tutorial in the world, but I hope it makes sense at least. I mean my coloring is pretty crappy to begin with, so it’s not such a complicated prossess as just a repetitive one.

But I hope it’s at least helpful to someone ^^ Feel free to ask me questions if you’ve got ‘em.
