How do you draw your chibis? No need for an elaborate explanation I'm just. a beginner artist trying to feel around some things

o!! i will be honest, my process isnt exactly very . helpful. its pretty much just circle -> basic head shape -> Draw The Rest Of The Owl(tm) due to my tried and true method of Fuck It We Ball.

but um! some scattered tips are smthn i Can give! though its kinda just what everyone else says. my best one is just kinda... imitate art you like. whether its proper Style Imitations or just Kinda Whatever is up to you, but th point is to practice something and then Do What Feels Fun. and then you can just drop whatever parts Arent fun. and then you keep doing that over and over until it frankensteins itself into something new :] mayb even sprinkle in smthn you just wanna try for funsies. who knows. art styles r like corkboards to me, yknow?

also have fun simplifying shapes. i like... Never enjoy drawing limbs unless theyre vaguely shaped like mlp pony hooves. its always just that but to the left a little. find shortcuts! do something silly! at the end of it all it really is just. Fuck Around Find Out Have Fun. sometimes it doesnt work. turn it into something else. or do it again if you want. what ever ! no rules. <33

theres always the Use Refs Do Studies and like yeah, definitely do that when you wanna push things, but also just like... have fun. do something weird. maybe youll like it. maybe you wont. but therell always be some sort of art :] and thats always good!

also dont delete your old art, youre gonna want to so bad but thats the devil talking ok even if you dont like it even if you can do better, keep it!!!! tuck it away in a file under your bed if you must, but theres nothing quite as nice as looking back and seeing how far youve come, or how the energy changes, or what you focus on-- and that info can be used for fun little stuff too!

tl;dr i cannot express this enough: do what makes you happy and Have Fun!!!! Priority Number 1!!!!!!! good luck, i believe in you!!!!! \o/

#piktalk #i complain a lot but honestly it really is everything 2 me. im not much of an advice guy but i hope this at least helps a little ! #though i did kinda stray from the technical for . vibes. but um; well; hopefully you get th point !!! yip #i guess um. focus on shapes; is what i can say. not necessarily Strict Rectangles And Triangles-- #--in fact thats difficult to do in a fun way-- but like... clear shapes + silhouettes do a Lot of heavy lifting for art yknow. #a friend once said t try starting with th silhouette and Then do the sketch and honestly thats helped a lot with Feel and Form #but most crucially: there are no hard rules! dont pressure yourself into em; theyre smthn you pick up if you want to play w em :] #um um. yea thats what i got; havefun o7
