then look at whatever you have drawn, and analyze it. Ask questions. What happened when i did X? Why did i do Y? Take a good hard look at it. Ask questions and be deliberate in your practise.
Rinse and repeat.
2: study the fundementals, the core principles. Basic structure, composition, color theory. Start SIMPLE, practise, and as you get better you can start mixing things up.
3:study real life. Study the great masters. Don’t just “see” , learn to OBSERVE. That is a skill in and of itself.
4: Go out of your comfort zones. Do not avoid what you are not good at, confront it face on and master it. Try new teqniques if you get stuck. If it becomes too much, take a break.
5: go to a live figure class.
That’s the advice i can give. Remember that talent is not important. What is important, however, is EFFORT, and DELIBERATE PRACTISE.
Remember that we overestimate what we can do in the short run , but underestimate just how good we can become at something if we truly try in the long rung.
]]>Observation
You should have good observation skill. Because we can’t create anything out of nothing. We play with colors, words, objects in order to make any creative art or product. So without good observation, you can’t make something creative out of those things.
Imagination
As I used to say people there is a cycle in order to come up with awesome ideas Observe-Imagine-Create. Let your imagination fly, don’t restrict it. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. And try not to go with the first idea which you get because if it’s easy for you then it’s easy for everyone. Do iterations as many as possible before finalizing any design or artwork.
