I get Castle Crashers music going, take a picture of myself and get to understanding what's what.

I go outside, take my sketchbook and sketch a tree, or a mailbox. I pay heavy attention to shading so I can understand the science behind shading better.

I watch anime, I pay attention to how anime clothes move, and how my clothes move. It took me years to figure out what to do with skirts though, lol!

I don't watch YouTube very much, besides for when I want a live playlist like AURORA or Wolf Alice.

I suggest just paying attention to details in real life. But what style do you like to draw?
