Very helpful, thank you! I'm a decent artist but not a good illustrator and I need to actually buckle down and get good advice and training instead of winging it. Also I think this could apply quite beautifully to writing characters as well. Taking time to understand them and keeping good references saves time and headaches later.
Definitely guilty of this. Since I'm starting off and working on consistency and committing time for art, will definitely come back to work on this once I have a better habit of showing up!
I draw a character idea roughly that I like but then the more I draw him he starts to change. It’s very annoying especially when drawing adult characters.

I’ve def struggled with different angles in the past 🫣 my characters are much more shape based now and it’s helped a lot!

Come practice with us! I still have the same challenge!
Oh I’d love to I’m still trying to gets to grips with Substack so hopefully I’ll press the right buttons 🙈
I'm brainstorming my first picture book that I'm going to attempt to illustrate myself ((huge gulp)) so this is very helpful.
Cheering you on Sarah!
