Hey there ! So, I’ve always wanted to get into environment drawings but I don’t know where to start? Do I just like, go for it? Or what? Anyways, I was wondering if you had any suggestions for that thanks!

dianmz:

Yes. You really kinda just, go for it. I mean, you have to start somewhere, right? Just hop on it today!!! It is better now than later.

You need to train your eyes first. Starting with mimicking old master’s paintings and understanding what it takes to make a finished work of art. The little color studies you do will help you in a long run.

How’d you get started on Tumblr, in terms of gaining a following? I know that sounds a little shallow of me, but what’s the point of posting online if no one appreciates it, you know? Anyway, I’ve been on Instagram for a couple years and I’m just not getting much response, so I’m thinking of trying Tumblr. Advice?

vetyr:

I mostly just began posting and figuring things out, which was inconvenient and confusing but very informative.  I’ve got a few pieces of advice I’d give to myself if I was starting out on tumblr again, hopefully they’ll be helpful for you as well:
