Description Well, look at that, I forgot to talk about proportions; how the body is suppose to be 8 heads (I do 5-6 lol) and how the hand is, with the fingers full out, to be the same size as the head, or from the chin to the hair line, but myself never do that.

Well anyway the last part will be about coloring, or shading, and I know that a couple of my watchers will be happy because I always get comments like "I want to know how to shade like that." But as I know myself, it won't be you'll want lol.

COLOR THEORY AHEAD HURR DURR LOLZ

So yeah the first part is full of fail but the last part should be important for people who read this.

I'm focking serious, every single people who says "I don't need references" "I don't like tutorials" will never get better.
It's like saying "Oh I don't know how to do a quiche, but I'll pratice doing it, so I don't need the recipe."

As for copying/tracing, well... for me, it has always being two different things. But I won't get too far in that subject.
I mean it's for pratical uses and I see quite a few official arts being copied and being called the artist's work and being super popular.
ANYWAY IM NOT GETTING TOO FAR IN THAT SUBJECT

Now, there's a thing I forgot and it's like so important to say.

If, suddenly, you're like omfg my arts focking suck, it's because you're getting better.
Take a look at your drawings a month before, two even, maybe more, and you'll probably see some details that you couldn't see before, some little mistakes that, back then, weren't obvious at all.

...oh god obvious >.< I'm so doom with this word

Anyway, it might also means that you're getting good in general, if you're like "omfg my art is focking bullshit". That you are ready for improvement.
But WAIT.
Don't jump happily everywhere.
Relax.
TAKE IT EEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Do one thing at a time.
It's better to start with faces, since it's the part of the body in which we mostly put the most details.
BUT
You should start with eyes. When your eyes are good, then go with noses, mouths, then the shape of your face, necks, ears, hairs. One thing at a time.
Because let's say your eyes are ok and everything else sucks.
As a reviewer, I would say "hey everything sucks but your eyes are genius." and you'll be happy because you have worked on your eyes for many hours and it wasn't for nothing.

As for me, the most useful thing I got to do is take a sheet, and use the most space as possible to do that little detail.
Like I have a sheet full of eyes, on both side.
After that focking sheet, if you didn't get the slightest better, kill yourself. I swear, after almost 100 eyes, you know how to draw these motherfockers.

So yeah have fun drawing.

Oh no wait.

Shit like "I suck"
I don't care about that.
If you don't pratice, you'll never get better. If you say "I suck" and you don't pratice, then well too bad but you will always be a focking loser!

I FEEL LIKE I HAD SOMETHING TO GET OUT OF MY HEART LOLOLOLOL
Actually I have, but it's about things that are obvious. It's... oh god ._. I just... sigh...
IT WAS OBVIOUS GODDAMMIT ITS SO FOCKING OBVIOUS why people can be so... ._.
FOCKING BLIND DAMN IT!
Anyway =3
