A reactive person studies art to avoid being bad at it. A creator studies art to bring ideas to life. When a reactive person gets good, they lose motivation - there’s no fear left to drive them. When a creator improves, their momentum fuels them. Be a creator, not a reactor.

Would you still draw if no one ever saw your art? It's easy to get caught up in chasing approval and attention online, it happens to all of us That's why it's important to re-align yourself when you notice that Don't forget why you started.

Negative space isn’t empty - it’s active. It frames, balances, and guides the viewer’s eye. Avoid tangents - keep the silhouette clean and readable Add details mindfully - each element should enhance, not overwhelm Great art speaks as much with what’s NOT there as what is.

In the beginning just draw as much as you want and don't stress about quality Once you get bored, take on a project that challenges you If the project is too difficult you'll get frustrated, but if it's too easy you'll be bored. Balance that to avoid burnout and quitting!

If comparing yourself to others feels demoralizing, do this: Instead of doubting yourself, look for areas to improve. Ask: How did they achieve that brushwork? What makes their color choices so good? If they publish tutorials or speedpaints, use them to improve!

Your journey is what defines you as an artist - not the finished result. If you see yourself as a tool for creating pretty pictures, you’ll eventually be replaced by a better tool. Don’t just be a specialist. Be a creator, a storyteller, and an inspiration.

Stop using art as reference: Look around, everything is in perfect perspective, with realistic light! 1. Reference real life – Study the world around you. 2. Use others’ work for inspiration – Not as a primary reference. Trust your eyes, don’t rely on secondhand vision.
