Tip of the day!

Tip of the day:

One of the most commonly asked question by students is that they love character design but don't know how to begin. Well, the only advice is... Just start! Once you start doing it. You will come across problems. And those problems will tell you what solutions to look for. Simple!

P.S. Just Don't do copy sketching, but attempt to create designs based on live reference or photos. Give yourself a character design brief and then try to find the design solution to it.

BE YOURSELF!!

Tip of the day: BE YOURSELF!

These artists have always inspired me to draw more and more importantly to be myself! I have been following their blogs since I started my career in animation and still do! They all have their unique styles and their unique ways of approaching art! Hope they inspire you to draw more and follow your individuality..originality too! Happy Drawing people! 

Be yourself! Don't try to be some one else. He/she is already taken!
