I find that I really love learning how to improve in art. It brings me unrivaled joy to figure out things like how a hand looks doing this, or how to draw a head doing that.

However, I’m wondering if any of you like the process of art studies? I know that I tend to put them off because I’d rather be drawing cute characters doing cute things than doing a figure study for an hour. I like art studies as much as the next person does, I just find it more fun to draw personal projects and incorporate references as a way of studying.

    I’m not sure if it’s quite the same thing but I’m constantly looking through sewing patterns and construction techniques from the online patterns archive. It gives my ideas and I’ve learned so much about creating the shapes and styles I want.

    I’ve been practising drawing as well by looking at art that inspires me and trying to figure out how they’ve done things. I’m still learning and not very good but I’ve come a long way in 6 months
