This shouldn’t be your art goal!

The moment your copying becomes good enough, time to use that skill to study anatomy and build your visual library and muscle memory so you only use references for form and poses not the whole damn drawing 🤣 stop passing this stuff off as “your art” #art #artist #spiderman #fyp #ink

2024/12/18 Edited to

... Read moreAs artists, it's crucial to realize that imitation doesn’t equate to skill. While copying can help you understand techniques, it’s foundational to move beyond that. Exploring anatomy is essential, as it allows you to understand the body’s mechanics deeply, leading to more dynamic and realistic representations in your art. Building a visual library enhances your creativity and enables you to draw from various influences. Focus on practicing with references, honing in on forms and poses rather than replicating whole drawings. This approach encourages originality and personal expression in your art. Moreover, muscle memory comes from consistent practice. The more you draw, the more instinctive and natural your technique becomes. Artists should challenge themselves by studying different styles and mediums, pushing the boundaries of their creativity. By establishing a strong foundation through study and practice, you will evolve as an artist, producing work that you can proudly call your own.
