I mostly focus on drawing animals and am trying to figure out how to draw humans. If you have any tips that would be great thanks, |

Ok I'm not the best at humans but I am a lot better than what I was five months ago lol I would start off with looking at references and trying to copy them while creating your own style. Look at the details, study them. You can even take pictures of yourself and draw it. Also don't forget proportions! Those are important!! Look to see where our eyes or nose and such should go. Our eyes don't sit at the top of our forehead! They are actually quite inline with the top of our ears! And our nose is inline with the bottom of our ears! Try drawing your face first, see where things connect. |

I'd say a lot of practice! Just sketches, even if they might not look so good in your own eyes, is essential! Not starting off with entire full-fletched pieces before getting a general idea of proportion - And also, look at others' art styles! It helps verrrry much with knowing how to draw certain parts, and you can take small things from every artist you see and incorporate it into your art :D I only started drawing humans a year or two ago but I feel like this has helped me the most! And also watching shorter tutorials about proportions I've gotten on my recommended c: . TLDR: Don't be afraid to make "bad" stuff, so to speak. After every single sketch you do you improve a tiiiiny bit :3 |

Oh yes, another good tip is to think of the face as a bent sheet of paper. Much easier to do angles that way c: |

Line of action is also an incredible resource for studies! They have an entire gallery dedicated to humans. You can adjust your preferences such as gender of models, ages, etc. (big note, they have nude models. This can be turned off before hand when you set your preferences if that makes you uncomfortable.) and if I remember correctly you can even set it to be a timer, where it will switch images from 10 seconds up to 10 minutes (or a custom time!). I used this when trying to do more specific anatomy studies. 🩷 |
