However, when provoked in some way (or just around people with low IQ's) "sarcasm" mode is activated. And I prefer to leave it a mystery as to when I'm being sarcastic.

Random Art Tips (G)
13 years ago
In no particular order
1. Learn to really SEE whats in front of you
2. Never be too prideful to admit your mistakes. Even if it means going back a step or two, fix mistakes when you find them.
3. MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE. AKA you can always erase pencil, but make sure you double-check everything before moving on to a more permanent media. Also works with cutting stuff, too.
4. Draw AGAINST the form instead of in line with it. This will help your drawing look more spacial instead of flat.
5. Practice makes perfect, so doodle a little every day.
6. USE REFERENCES! Creativity comes from the mind, but acuracy comes from real life
7. Anatomy is important
8. Art is a TRAINED SKILL. It can be LEARNED. But innovation and creativity is what sets an ARTIST apart from someone who draws.
9. Learn from the masters. Touch up on a little art history.
10. Draw from life whenever possible
IN REGARDS TO CRITIQUES:
1. When asking for a critique, have a thick skin. Remember that growth is achieved through constructive criticism.
2. When giving a critique, take a good news, bad news approach. Tell the artist what he/she did well as well as point out mistakes and what needs to be improved or worked on.
3. "I like it!" is an ASSPAT, not a CRITIQUE
4. There is always something to improve on. There is no such thing as a "perfect" piece of art.
I will probably add more as I think of them.
