The group picture I promised I'ld do in return for 100 souls, back in February, is done! And because I got so sick of it, I drew another (the top image is the new one), so double group picture! It’s not that I don’t like it anymore, it’s more along the lines of, I can see so many mistakes and things I would do differently now.
It was really fun drawing them all together, and maybe I’ll draw more group pictures in the future, I guess this has shown that I am capable of doing it at least. Although it may be apparent which characters I play favourites with, I love them all, but Nina and Inej are my girls I love them, they deserve to eat all the waffles they want.
draw fast. it’ll look messy for a long time but you’ll improve faster than if you spend 4 hours on every drawing
if you draw in pencil and have a habit of erasing all of your mistakes, try drawing in pen or marker. i know it’s scary but it’ll help in the long run (i’m speaking from experience)
try different methods and mediums but don’t worry about mastering any of them, just have fun
if you’re not rich, buy art supplies from the dollar store, not the art store (seriously. i go through a sketchbook about once a month and i’d rather spend $4 on one than $15)
there’s no wrong way to learn. you can copy other people’s art if you want to, just don’t post it
DO NOT worry about having a consistent style. do not. just draw however you want
if you want to make original characters then do it. don’t worry about if they’re original, or a good design, or if they have an accompanying story. make sonic ocs. do it. it’s fun and it’s not hurting anyone
try not to kill your back. stand up and stretch once in a while
make a folder and save all of your favorite arts for inspiration
draw from life. draw your dog. draw your teachers. draw your desk. draw your own hands (seriously that’s the best way to get better at drawing hands)
in general, drawing from life or a photo is better than drawing from a diagram
draw whatever you want. draw youtubers if you like youtubers. draw undertale if you like undertale. when i was a kid i drew nothing but shadow the hedgehog and horses. everyone deserves to draw what they want without being mocked, and if people start making fun of you, block them and keep drawing
don’t expect to get any notes at first. don’t let it discourage you. if you want validation go show your art to your mom or your friends or your teacher or your grandma
its not real dragon age if a rogue in your party warning everyone to watch their step isn’t immediately followed by the sound of a trap being activated and a warrior in your party screaming

Today in a comp match, I felt I have succeeded the entire game by jumping into the Ilios well for our Mercy. All my previous quad kills can’t top this accomplishment.
Mercy survived, I jumped out of the hole safe and sound, we won the match.
