10 DRAWING TIPS that ACTUALLY IMPROVE YOUR ART

I asked you all what type of video I should do next, and after collecting the answers from my IG and Youtube, there was quite a conglomeration of art tip advice requests. I prefer to focus on art tips more on intention / mindset when approaching your drawing more so than doing drawing tutorial technicalities, so I hope some of these nuggets of info are helpful!

Aww no more 'hello bishes'. But I completely understand your reasons for taking this decision 🙏

[jacquelineosburn]

Rip to "stay hoesome bishes" you will be missed 🙏🏻💗 had a good run though and I'm excited for the future of your channel

I’ve been watching your videos since your CalArts days. Now I’m in my first year studying animation at university. You have been and continue to be such a huge inspiration. These tips are so helpful and I can’t wait to try them out.
Also, “Hello bishes” will be missed.

Love this!! —especially the tip of picking an emotion from the emotion wheel.
For my book I’m trying to break out of each character’s ‘default’ pose and that tip helps a ton!

I’m so excited for your book, Michelle!! Each snippet of it makes me more hyped to see it!💕✨

[s-coffin]

Thank you! I just realised that the animatic I’m working on rn has all medium shots and I corrected myself and redid some of them right now- and your comic strips helped a lot for some of the references too! This was such a helpful video!

Thank you for the character expression tips! Honestly, this is more helpful to me than technical drafting advice lol 😅 Also, your announcement that you're retiring "bishes" made me realize that I've been following your channel for 5-6 years! It's the end of an era❤

[mariesdiariesss]

Thank you so much Michelle for this wonderful tips video! All the tips are eye opening for me, a mere 17 year old who's a beginner dreaming to be a story artist. I'll make sure to make use of these advices!

Aww I found and watched your channel a few years ago and really love the devil horns with "hello bishes". It was so iconic that when I saw one of your videos again a few months recently again, I instantly recognise the channel :D It's sad but understandable, those greetings will always be in my heart haha

[fuzzydragons]

a lot of these stuff is also useful for concept design, character or landscape/world design 😀 thought you might have to drop the tagline, youtube is def getting a bit too strict for some things

[Moonleii]

I know I’m very, very late to this video, but as a comic artist these tips were definitely really useful, so tysm! Speaking of comics, I found your book in my local library, and I enjoyed it a lot! the character designs were so cute and I liked the story <33

Just subscribed to your channel a couple weeks ago. I will miss your foul mouth, it was part of the fun, but I can always watch your old videos to be called a bish and your really old videos hear you f-bomb when I so desire, so. In any case, I'm here for your sweet persona and your great advice. Cheers.
