Lately I’ve been feeling slightly down about how slow I improve, compared to other people these days. It’s not that I have not been improving, but I am reaching my point on how much I am as well. So many people my age or younger improve at a crazy-fast rate, and their art overall looks better than what I usually do (for the record, I’m close to 21). I definitely don’t dislike my art, but lots of teens these days are so good at what they do, with the stuff they’ve been taught at art schools and stuff.
You don’t have to have any sort of formal education in art to do well with it, so don’t let that discourage you. I think that you will do better if you have a clear vision (excuse the pun) of your goals with your art style and what you want to achieve with it. You don’t need to have every single detail thought out, but just the major parts, like whether you want to have a more realistic style, or something more cartoony and stylised, or a mix of both.
That’s besides the point though. I want to see what you guys have to say about how I’m doing atm. Any advice is great, but more specifically… I’m interested in how I’m doing with digital painting.
If you give me a better idea of what you’d like to achieve with your art then I might be able to give some input. Your art isn’t in a bad place at all though.
