So my interest in improving my art skills has been primarily driven by creating monsters.

I've gotten into ink, acrylic and oil paint, watercolor and colored pencil.

I do enjoy art still, however I kind of feel like I'm a fake for not studying figures and facial anatomy.

Thoughts?

My thoughts:

You're really young. As you grow older and apprehension mounts (as you ralize your deficiencies) self-discipline takes over as the main motor of your daily practice in joy's stead. Use your brain to find subjects that need tackling, don't listen to anxiety. Doodling is srs business, eyes on the prize and push on.

You'll fuck yourself if you don't leave the monster comfort zone. I had that too, it's a comfort zone. Make humie monsters and humies. This is a very anthropocentric discipline, the human figure is the most familiar form to your viewers, you'll be judged by it and the standards are harsh by comparison to everything else.

That picture is disgustingly ugly.

Study figures and facial anatomy then, a lot more than you think can be applied to what you are doing.

Even an hour a day can go a long way, you'd want to focus most of your energy to studying animals, character design and things like that however.

It's actually supposed to be.
