5) Critique - Accepting critique is difficult for many of us, because art is so personal. But critique from peers you trust, given with the intent of helping you grow is a powerful tool.

6) Make friends! People talk about "networking" a lot, which sounds intimidating. But "networking" is simply getting to know other people in your field. A trustworthy group of peers can support your artistic journey, and offer critique and resources, while you do the same for them.

1) Study - Fundamentals and study of technique helps us grow. And no learning is ever wasted, when it comes to art.

2) Practice - Don't underestimate the importance of muscle memory. Practice also helps you become more efficient in your work.

3) Broaden your horizons - Even if you have a particular niche, you can learn a lot from other mediums, disciplines, and styles.

4) Experiment - There's no such thing as "failure" in art. So try new things and have fun with it!

The same idea as yesterday but in a different point of view.
It is an Hippiah witch praticing a powerful magic.

I'm going to post the sketches I've done in the week! (to avoid spaming, I'll post them over the day)

Here is a selection of smaller sketches and a post-apocalyptic scene.

My about Power.

I had many thoughts but Nature is my choice. It is the powerest element πŸ˜ƒ in Pepper&Carrot Hippiah is a school where all its magic is based around Nature.
So she she is an Hippiah student better than Pepper on this magic.

Oups the photo is a bit crappy

Done! Ish. It's almost 5am, so I must stop scribbling, and I think this'll do.

Had a lot of fun with this one, I've got a feeling I might have to revisit it when I get the time, slap some colours over the top. Maybe.

Maybe I just want to spend a lil more time with Pudge; I kinda want a chubby crocodile of my own to hug right now.

WIP: the clown is now painted. Then the background. but which color?

WIP : my clown has now holes and i've rubbed down.

First tests passed with my children.

Ready for painting πŸ˜ƒ

WIP : a clown for a kids game for the end of year school party

Report on wood done with some change because of proportion change.

Next steps holes then painting
