@Shaieq0 + I also keep folders of the steps of all of my drawings, so that I can look back at how I did certain things and achieved certain results so that I can do it again, and keep quality high. I find looking back and comparing and analyzing my drawings especially crucial
@Shaieq0 I look at a ton of illustrations that I like, thinking, what can I learn from each illustration? This helped create a massive mental database so I always have ideas on what to draw, & most importantly, ideas on how to make the illust better + a sense of what looks right & wrong.
This is the technique I have been using :D happy to see others using it because I haven't found anyone else who does until now
