    Loved the tips SO MUCH!!!, I love doing art studies, in fact i've kept my track this WHOLE year with daily practices 🥹(i'm so happy lol, maybe i haven't achieved the level i wanted, but i've improved a lot 😭), but sometimes i avoid just studying a difficult topic AND practicing it too... something that helps me when i feel overwhelmed by a difficult topic is to allow myself to be a beginner and accept it in order to change it :33 I love the questionnaire you put at the end, i just loved everything haha 💟

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I plan to create more digital resources like the one I shared in this video in the future, so I hope you can look forward to that 🤗

    i feel you on the wips since i have so many but i disagree with you on them being wasted efforts because every single thing you create helps you become better for the next creation and even if they are unfinished, they still played their part in helping you improve as an artist overall. but also, i get where you're coming from and your inner critic is usually the loudest and hardest and it can hold you back if you let. i'm glad you're not letting it anymore and you've shared your wips because they look pretty awesome✨

    • @NeddyisNeddy
      @NeddyisNeddy หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're absolutely right! Every piece, whether finished or not, adds up to the mileage that helps us improve in the long run. The poblem for me was I didn’t intend for these to stay as sketches, I wanted them to be more finished pieces, but my own negative mindset held me back from finishing them. Still, I can’t deny they’re all part of the creative process I just wish I had better balance of both 😅 Thank you so much for the encouragement; it truly means a lot 😊✨
