@kon.aroo: so yea i want to do like character design and draw like my ocs and my friends and stuff but don't know where to start 🥲 #arthelp #drawing #learning
There’s tons of YouTube tutorials that can help you utilize everything that procreate will and can offer, also shading, and sketching helps and usingv reference photos/pictures can help a lot with getting the portions down..and think of what your drawing into simple shapes when you sketched then had details also sketch in a contrasting colors then black as it will help with seeing when you do your outline…

Id say focus on learning how to sketch first and how break down a subject but what's important is not getting burnt out especially early!! 😭✌ Ik that a lot of ppl when trying new hobbies get burnt out then quit coming from personal experience when I tried other hobbies

if you have little to no experience at all, start with shapes, the more comfortable you get with shapes the easier everything else will be, then try to learn anatomy early on before you try and define an art style

drawing is seeing,, basically everyone is going to tell you to find something you think is interesting and 'just draw it' but that's about as much help as saying the sky's blue. Take something, try to trace the form with your eye, then copy that onto the screen/paper,, if you learn to draw by sight rather than repetition (both are needed, but repetition only really comes when trying to study one specific thing), you'll likely advance further and be able to adopt styles you like easily

Ok think about it like this, the vocabulary of art right? Letters into words into sentences into thoughts and stories. SO your vocabulary with drawings is dots - lines, lines become shapes, shapes become forms. So you can start like thinking about exercises for confident lines, moving your hand in all different directions, then some basic shapes, then practicing forms like cubes, spheres, cylinders etc, and lighting them from different angles. Other things, draw

Start with building line and shape confidence ! You can use that practice to test out brushes and explore procreates features. When you feel like you can make a nice line, then tracing over references or other art you enjoy(post only with credit or just keep as practice!) and slowly start making your way to learning guidelines. Although, that’s fast paced for art, the traditional studies go through the components of art first before beginning on drawing an actual subject! I recommend looking for things related to it. I also have a study board on Pinterest that I’ll link for anyone reading and interesting including op! It has over 4000 pins of references and stuff !

since you want to draw characters i would say learn veryyy basic anatomy like, just getting familiar with the shapes of the body parts, and then slowly improve anything you feel needs more improvement, so like if you notice youre not great with hands ... youre gonna have to force yourself to draw those hands.😭

HAVE FUN - Way more important than stressing over “doing it right” play around with all the brushes, get more brushes, toggle brush settings, layer modes, shortcuts everything! also Viz Ref is amazing for references and you can have it open in a side window while drawing so you can easily see or put them away. Highly HIGHLY recommend

Keep all of your older art, don't be embarrassed if you think your art is "bad" because the point isn't being good, it's about improvement. Do figure studies and study anatomy, you don't have to have a realistic style but knowing anatomy makes it easier to stylize it. Find art styles that you really really like, combine them, and make it your own (not saying to trace or copy other artists but draw inspiration from them.). Also, there's no harm in tracing stock photos to learn anatomy and pose composition, but there IS harm in tracing other people's art. That's about all the advice I can give

Honestly just start drawing whatever you like. I’ve learned basically everything I know by drawing fanart and trying to push myself in posing and using references.

First acknowledge your tool. Digital is extremely ephemeral and purely sacrificial. Anything you do can be cleanly erased. It is a sterile environment as well. Even down to pure binary pixel art. So what you can do to bridge your brain into it is use a parchment paper background, however styled, and a cool pencil brush or ink pen and start doing form studies. Something that hides shakey lines is texture. It’s one of the starting principles of art too and in this regard it can help you feel right beginning.

When I started with procreate about 3 year years ago the first few things I did was just doodle and scribble and make shapes to get a feeling for how it was different from drawing on paper.

Loooots of drawing tutorials and art studies! And learning the program throughly. I’d personally start with learning how to draw the body/poses and find some styles you really like and try and copy them (not trace) don’t post these, just do it to teach yourself and notice what you like about it and how they do it

well, that kind of depends on what you wanna focus on, but something important is gesture, the flow of the picture. everything has it, not just people or animals, but landscapes too. proko has videos on YouTube for tutorials

honestly id say learn the program before anything every program is different and has its learning curves after that start with something easy for example a fish find a photo of a fish and try to copy it but honestly just have fun

These are some of my favorite books. The expressions and positions one in the back is such a useful tool. I recently got the fantasy character book and it leveled up my art exponentially. It does a fantastic job of breaking down small details rather than over all position and proportions.

I hope you love it! Consistency is so important and it’s easy to get burnt out when your just starting so make sure you don’t overdo it 🙂↕️

practice your fundamentals and work w wood / hand models in sections to achieve anatomy practice.

Be okay at being bad. You are going to be bad at art, even if you keep at it years later. Then, suddenly, you'll find an old artwork you did and realize how much progress you have made. You'll realize you are not as bad at art as you think. Have fun!
