Art is a form of expression that has been around for centuries, allowing individuals to convey their thoughts, emotions, and ideas through visual representation. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, there is always room for improvement and growth in the world of art.

One platform that has been gaining popularity in recent years for sharing art tips and tutorials is TikTok. With its short, snappy videos, creators are able to share their knowledge and expertise in a fun and engaging way. From drawing techniques to color theory, there is a wealth of information available for aspiring artists to tap into.

One common mistake that many beginner artists make is when drawing the ear. It may seem like a simple enough body part to draw, but there are intricate details that can easily be overlooked. By breaking down the ear into simple shapes and forms, artists can better understand how to accurately depict this often neglected feature.

Another tip is to focus on creating symmetrical features, such as eyes. By using techniques like tracing and mirroring, artists can easily achieve symmetry in their drawings. This not only improves the overall aesthetic of the artwork but also helps to develop a keen eye for detail and proportion.

When it comes to shading, it’s important to understand the different types of shadows – form shadows and cast shadows. Form shadows help to define the 3D form of an object, while cast shadows occur when something blocks the light source. By mastering these shadow techniques, artists can create depth and dimension in their drawings.

For those looking to improve their character drawings, studying facial features like the nose can be incredibly beneficial. By understanding the structure and form of the nose, artists can create more realistic and expressive characters. Taking the time to study reference images and practice different angles can help artists master this challenging feature.

Incorporating tears or other emotional elements into artwork can add depth and emotion to a piece. By starting with the shadow that tears cast and adding highlights with a light hand, artists can create realistic and impactful tears. This attention to detail can elevate a piece and evoke strong emotions in viewers.

Overall, the world of art is vast and ever-evolving. Whether you’re a beginner looking to improve your skills or a seasoned artist seeking inspiration, there is always something new to learn and discover. By exploring different techniques, experimenting with styles, and pushing the boundaries of creativity, artists can continue to grow and evolve in their craft.

So, the next time you’re feeling stuck or uninspired, remember to pick up a pencil, grab a blank sheet of paper, and just start drawing. Allow yourself to create without any expectations and see where your imagination takes you. Art is a journey of self-discovery, self-expression, and endless possibilities – so embrace the process, embrace the mistakes, and keep creating.

  2. first time Sam watches a tik tok video from a Brit who took GCSE Art and A-level Art. i feel represented as a Brit. (i'm taking A-level art 🥲god save me). she is very right, the main thing in your sketchbooks are that your marks come a lot from development.

  7. As a fourteen year old artist, i suffer with art. I started my channel to have people tell me how to be better. Now i just post for fun because that's what art should be. It shouldn't ever be considered bad every piece i make i hate, and that's fine because i had fun making it. Now i want to get better at art because it's something i like and enjoy. It's a hobby. I've never dripped and never will. People in my family who stopped drawing because of work and stuff were really good. They stopped art, and they art is stunted. Anyone can draw. it's just the fact that you have to be willing to sit down and pick up a pencil. Art is bad, but when you try to be better, it is amazing. ❤

  8. You're so right about the sketchbook thing! It's sad because it feels really fake and bizarre. Like, these artists showing their sketchbooks with no practice, no learning, nothing like that, just perfect drawings. They show no gesture drawings or anatomy practice then they have a page with a perfect painting on a person. When I looked on those sorts of videos, what I was interested in were the studies because I'm a new artist, yet people never use their sketchbooks for studies for some sort of 'aesthetic" reason.

    I like keeping my studies and observational drawings together, because it gives your work way more personality and it feels more like the sketchbook was owned by a human who had to learn stuff to be able to draw well.
