AHHHHHHH oh my gosh your new yunjin art. honestly all your art...i love your rendering and your anatomy/wrinkles and everything, it's just astounding...if you don't mind me asking, what do you practice/study? have an amazing day btw 🤍

WHAAAT omg thank you!! im super honored haha

as for studies...hooh boy I do Not have the best track record when it comes to doing studies digitally (most of my studies are like oil paint and gouache and stuff that goes in a fine art portfolio) so take everything I say w like. a grain of salt bc im still learning LOL

tbh thou i think the best advice I can give for practice/study is kind of to just. observe stuff around you!! if you feel like it I would suggest studying up on stuff like color theory and different types of lighting (ambient vs form vs core shadow) or even like gesture drawing or whatever bc those kinds of fundamental art things r what can help you understand studies!!

once you have that kind of knowledge w you it becomes a bit easier to break down the things you study or observe which you can use to apply to your work! ex: i have had to make a Shitton of self portraits for a while, which I used to suck at until i got ahold of how lighting works on faces because surprise surprise!! light and shadow placement on the face plays a big part in defining facial features!

as for like. studies. tbh the reference I tend to use the most is like. myself or people I interact w bc like!! you're a walking reference!! the things n people around you are walking references! make some silly faces in the mirror! take awkward pictures of your baggy sweater! make some analysis based on the things you want to improve on like?? how does fabric behave when draped, smooshed, or pinched?? how do shadows appear on faces w flatter brow ridges as opposed to more deep set ones?? how does lighting differ on smooth vs rough surfaces etc etc

keep in mind this is by no means meant to be super factual or formal or whatever!! it's just personal things i noticed I tended to do or use when I was trying to improve artistically!! if you need like elaboration or help with anything I can try my best but again my word is not like absolute fact so like! you're allowed to be skeptical if you want LOL

nevertheless, hoped this helped somewhat!! happy drawing :)!
