hello friend!!! hmm i think one of the ways i got to (personally) improve was by looking at other artists as inspiration! Obviously not to copy or plagiarize, but by looking at their artstyles and techniques and picking ones that I would like to see in my own art. For example, I really really like stylized proportions and black lineart (whereas others may like the look of hyperpop colors, muted colors, more on the realism side, anime side etc) :3c I try to look at various artists across different fandoms so that it keeps me going and inspired!! (I find that if you just use One artist as inspo you start to tread on the near artstyle - theft area lmao,,,)

Another big thing that helps for me since I have aphantasia is to use a lot of references! I have a pinterest board for nearly everything -- artworks that inspire me, clothing reference, art tips, photography, color inspos, etc!!!

For tutorials I really just recommend watching a lot of speedpaints since it helps you breakdown how other artists think while painting!! I linked a few in this ask awhile ago i dont use alot of socmed outside of twitter but i find instagram and tiktok have a lot of inspiring speedpaints :0 !

And lastly, always try to have fun!!! 💖 it makes me so happy to hear that my silly lil skz drawings makes you want to draw too 🥺❣️my actual secret to improving is having a hyperfixation for 4 years straight over minho LMAOOO,,, drawing should be a fun activity where you can always experiment to your hearts desire!!! happy drawing and good luck!!! 🍀
