The experience of making art gets a lot better when you take a break from the internet for a while.
On this last day of #ArtRepostJuly, I’m sharing one of my #Favorite pieces. This was my “final project” for @sylessae.bsky.social ‘s Portrait Drawing Bootcamp. It’s my tribute to a favorite character (Tosh) from a favorite retro video game (Arc the Lad I and II).

What's a piece of advice you'd give your younger creative self?
Pro tip: use your sketchbook as a place to scribble ideas that you can then refine digitally later
My live portrait bootcamp is for you if you: - Spend too much time thinking about drawing rather than actually drawing - Don't know what to study - Get overwhelmed by all there is to learn - Struggle to balance art with other responsibilities - Thrive with accountability 👇
Convention prep earlier this year feels like forever ago. Has time been weird for anyone else??

Instead of only focusing on making a good drawing, try these other intentions and see how they change your experience: - listen to your pen scratches - notice tension in your hand - watch your pen tip leave marks - draw slower - draw faster - try a new medium
I’ll be opening up another round of live sessions for the drawing bootcamp soon!! Spots will be limited and only offered to the folks on the waiting list. 👇

People don't want to see the greatest of great art. They want to see people like them, making art.

No you don't need another art tutorial, you need to keep drawing the things you want to improve, practice trusting yourself and exercise being okay with uncertainty.
