#im not sure how visible my rolodex of inspiring artists is in my art but thats fine :)

One of the best pieces art advice I can honestly give is that you shouldn't live in a vacuum. Don't be afraid to take influence and steal bits and pieces from other artists!! You shouldn't steal whole pieces of course, but if you like how an artist draws hands, try to study how they draw them!! A lot of aspects in my art were just me imitating something at first, and that thing integrating itself into my art as I drew it more and it merged with my style.

I cannot stress how important it is to look at things and slurp up information and inspiration!!!!!! If your favorite artist has videos showing their progress, please watch them!! Absorb information and gain knowledge!!!!!!!! Don't live in a vacuum!!!!
