facial features

Drawing facial features plays an important role as they convey the feelings of your characters. Drawing one feature at a time can improve your drawings.

Facial features can be drawn as straight-on view as well as profile views. Below are some tips that you can keep in mind.

Start with drawing a nose: When drawing on a straight-on view, start with creating a line drawing. Use the grid method and a mechanical pencil to create a line drawing.

Develop light and darks: When you are sure of accuracy, remove the grid lines with a kneaded eraser.

Blend your drawings: Blend drawings with a stump or tortillon.

Drawing lips: While drawing female mouths, the upper lip is drawn smaller and darker compared to the lower lip. Blend tones and light highlights after you darken the upper lip. While drawing male lips, the edges of male lips are more subtle and are described by shadows around the lips.

Keep practicing using these tips and improve your drawings.

4 Habits to become a better artist

become a better artist

If you’re an aspiring artist, you would have met your worst enemy of all time: the art block. The worst thing about an art block is that many times, it is self-inflicted.

Here are some habits you must build to say goodbye to art blocks for good.

Bye-bye takers: Next time someone asks you for free artwork, say no. They do nothing but drag you down. Anything is more appreciable when it comes with a reward or a price.

Stop scrolling: The internet is the best thing when it comes to both amplifying or sabotaging your creativity. Try to choose your sources of inspiration from outside the screen.

Don’t try to be original: Instead of trying to draw something that is a hundred percent original (which is almost close to impossible), observe existing ideas from a unique perspective and express them authentically in your drawing.

Be grateful: In other words, stop being narcissistic, which is a complex that develops over time. The world doesn’t owe you anything just because you’re an artist. Be grateful for whatever gifts you have in life instead of expecting more of it.

Start enjoying your art life more with these habits.

Sometimes even though you’re in your workspace surrounded by your favorite art supplies, you might find it hard to draw because of a lack of inspiration. Let’s go through some ways to get inspired to make art every day.

Create something every day: Spend some time every day to give life to a new idea, and it will, in turn, stimulate another new idea.

Clean your workspace: When your mind feels empty, get rid of a few things from your work desk, and start fresh. Make sure that your workspace has only things that you work with.

Don’t always rely on the internet: Sometimes, it can be overburdening to see other artists’ work. Try to draw inspiration from nature or other things you love rather than something you see online.

Write down your ideas in a journal: Fill it up with whatever incites emotions in you. You can later use this list to get ideas for your artwork. This can also be therapeutic for you.

Embrace your mistakes: Be brave enough to make mistakes and learn from them. Don’t let the hesitation hold you back.

Follow these easy steps to be infinitely inspired by yourself for your art.

Art Block

Anyone who has experienced an art block would know how badly it affects their creativity. Art block is essentially a lack of inspiration to create art. Let’s see some ways to overcome the art block.

Keep drawing: No matter how small or imperfect it feels like, it can stimulate your creativity to make something bigger and better.

Change your media: Try using new media. For example, try oil paints if you usually use acrylic. Be adventurous.

Try a different style: Find new artists and explore their art style. Try to follow their art style for a change.

Visit a new place: Go somewhere you have never been before. Unfamiliar sceneries and people can always inspire to create new art.

Keep a journal: Writing a daily art journal can help you be consistent with your works. Jot your ideas down in the book so that you can refer to it later when you need the inspiration to make a new piece of art.

Art block is almost unavoidable at times. But, following the above steps can help you to get through them relatively better.
