>>5699169be stern with yourself. give yourself deadlines and demand that you improve. you always have to be searching for how to get better. compare your own works to the works of great artists and figure out the core of why they're different.
don't underestimate the value of fundamentals. just because you think you know them doesn't mean you actually do.
draw things that you like to do draw and always challenge yourself.
draw often but don't spend too much time on one drawing. unless you're doing a commission or something just get it to like 80% finished and move on the the next one, because that last 20% will take just as long as the first 80%, except it's just perfectionism that you don't really gain any knowledge from. sometimes it's okay to be a perfectionist in order to gauge where you're at but otherwise all it does is slow you down and take you away from focusing on the fundamentals.
even at the level of master, most of any improvement you make will come from developing your relevant fundamentals. any little tips and tricks are things that come from experience and are shallow - not substitutes for good fundamentals.
