" How To Draw " (Patreon)

I keep seeing the "how to draw" or "this is the correct way to draw" stuff and they're really cool

They're also just ways for people to show off how they know how to draw LOL

So I have mixed feelings them

Quick real advice for actual drawing stuff:

Shapes can be guides for how you structure a character. This is one way to avoid same face because if the literal shapes you're basing the char off of is different each time, they're naturally going to look different.

Cricle, triangle, square are the normal shapes you can use but you can also make simple random shapes to help too. A complex drawing is just a lot of circles, triangles, and squares so you can increase/reduce the complexity as much as you want. Simple is generally better because it's more understandable, but simple does not mean easy. Simple can in fact be very very hard, so be careful with what shape you're using and what ways that's affect your output. 

Also for the circle one. Black and white are pretty basic colors so if you use some dark color it can make things a little bit more lively. Also most people's arms rotate in a ball socket. You can use that ball to make more balls. Your wrist can do this too but your wrist is not a ball socket. Drawing /can/ just take your hand but you have a whole body! Use it to your advantage.

This sort of thing takes time to learn as well which is why I get annoyed when people make the drawing look "bad" to show what the "right" thing to do is. Even when you can show the same example but with the drawing looking correct but is inaccurate for x situation.
