hiii tumblr user natsmagi how are you today ?? your art is so pretty and i often find myself wanting to marry it. do you have any art tips for beginners plsss :3

HIIII!!! omg im doing well thank u for asking ❤️!!!

AND WAHHH UR SO SWEET!!!! THANK U!!!!!!💕💕💕

hmm as for tips.... i guess it kinda depends on what level of art ur currently at? like, do u already draw but feel ur skills are lacking or are u a complete beginner? either way i think anyone can benefit from figure drawing! literally just look at a pose reference and scribble shapes that are reminiscent of it! and u only need to spend at most 10 minutes on it. i know that the whole "do studies! look at references!" advice is a tired one BUT GENUINELY IT DOES WONDERS!!! plus figure drawing is alot of fun!!! here is a video that i personally learned from! its important to remember though that when it comes to art there are no set in stone rules that one must follow. in art rules are meant to be broken; so once uve learned the How's and Why's u can start implementing ur own little touches and begin stylizing! another video that really helped me in terms of anatomy structure is this video! of course, just like the first one, i deviate a fair share from it aswell, but it was an EXCELLENT starting point! main difference i do is i insert a sort of. Egg shape instead of just doing a square box. it helps highlight where the shoulders go and also gives me a better idea of where the waist and ribcage should be! here is a crude example; though if u want a boxier shape u can just stick to the first one

(remember that these shapes are merely used as a foundation and guide. theyre only there to help give u an idea of how the body would look, so theres no need for them to be perfect. these foundations can ALWAYS be deviated from) to me, it also helps to add guidelines like the blue lines u see! on the torso im using them to indicate where the middle of each side is. so one line down the center, one line down the back, and one line down each armpit basically. as for arms i instead just add a couple circles to indicate perspective

my last tip would probably be to just look at other artists you deeply admire. create a sort of frankensteins monster amalgamation of ur favorite artistic features! steal the way someone draws eyes, steal the way another draws hair, steal the way one renders, etc etc, until u find something that resonates with u. experiment a little! dont be too focused on having ur own unique style, esp if ur just starting out. as artists we all learn a great amount from each other and take inspiration! so just. keep experimenting and in due time ull find what works best for u! art is an ever-growing process! there is always more to learn and more to try!

oh gosh there are a lot of people who inspire me artistically here!!! Here are some artists who inspire me and who i feel like have affected my style too!

@sabertoothwalrus (i absolutely love the way they do lineart, and the way they draw facial expressions is just SO good and dynamic)

@jascurka (the colours they use and their rendering is so pretty and aestethic!!! and i love how their lineart has a slightly scraggly vibe, i think it really adds to their drawings!)

@maridotnet (vivs art is just stunning!!! one of my fav things about her art is how she draws people- theres just,, something so HUMAN about it yknow. i also love how she does comics!! the way she uses the layout, composition and other elements to tell a story visually is so cool!!!)

@ladybeug (im always in awe of how well theyre able to express stuff in their art with so little lines!! like the facial expressions they draw are SO good and clear! and their comedic timing is always spot on omg)

@shameboree (their style is IMPECCABLE!! i love the way they do lineart, and how they use patterns and different textures in their art!)
