In case there are any beginner artists out there who want to improve, but don't know what to work on, I've decided to post some examples of the types of study that I've done over the years to get me where I am now, so maybe you will get some ideas.

This bad joke became my most liked tweet when I dropped it. If you like artists who are passionate about mech design but don't take themselves too seriously, I might be worth following?
ARTISTS you can only use one Art picture to convince people to follow you.
Which art piece you using?

1. Perspective & construction .
Fundamental to giving your drawing a sense of solidity and depth. Also very useful when trying to draw 3-dimensional things from your imagination.

2. Anatomy & Gesture Drawing.
- Learning to construct the human figure from the inside out gets you in the habit of building a mental model of complex forms and applying it to real life observation. Gesture drawing helps with looseness, confidence and simplification.

3. Form Studies.
- Practicing rendering abstract 3D forms from imagination. This removes the complication of thinking about specific subject matter and allows you to focus on thinking about the effects of light on form.

4. Master copies
- Helps to get familiar with fundamental components of composition, such as shape design and value structure. Analyse how master painters achieve graphical impact in their work.

5. Organic studies
- Use constructive drawing skills to study the form and texture of things from the natural world and imprint them in your brain so you can reproduce or take inspiration from them later.

6. Hard-surface studies - Same as above but with manufactured objects. Familiarise yourself with the design language of machines, products etc. and think about how they are put together.

7. Painting from life/en plein air.
- Helps develop your eye for compositions, observing the world around you and noticing things that you would like to capture. Paint light and colour as your eye sees it. Also a good excuse to get out and about if you can.

~ 2023 art summary ~
It was quite an eventful year in my art journey and in my personal life. I hope I can share many new creations in the coming year!

This is a very general overview, each field is a rabbit-hole in itself and there are many I didn't mention but I'd say this is a good starting point. If it seems overwhelming, remember; the quicker you fail the quicker you learn, so don't waste time worrying, just get stuck in ~

As promised here is a time lapse video recording of my mech sketching process, I hope you enjoy!
It would be quite a bit of work but if enough people want it, I'll do a slowed down version with commentary and put it on gumroad or something. Let me know if that would be useful ~

Am I filling out the form correctly?
Instagram plans to use your information and data to feed its Meta AI (Meta is Facebook, IG, etc). This includes any image, text, or video, and it is opt-in by default.
For artists and other content creators, I made a guide thread for us on how to set your account to opt out

Saddens me to do this, but if this is what it takes, then so be it.
It's clear that artists' simple wishes (to be protected from contemptuous people seeking to profit freely from others' work) are not being respected or taken seriously.
I really hope that will change.

Another idea for mechtober. Loose sketch, just getting shapes, proportions, stance etc. to find an impression that I like.

I find this process has multiple benefits -
1) Re-use old sketches in a new context.
2) Takes the stress out of starting with a blank canvas.
3) Quickly build up complexity with your own design language included automatically.
4) It's fun...like your own unique Lego set!
