Hi! Any tips for someone who wants to improve my handpainted art quickly? I am improving way WAY too slowly. For example, this is something I made after practicing on and off handpainted art after a year. Nowhere NEAR where I want to be. I need help to stop being shit so I can move on to learning other parts of 3DCG. Will…

But, I'm going try to lend a hand because I understand that learning a skill can be rough -- and I can see that you're really frustrated!
