OOF this took a long time. shoutout to @ShatteredSongbird for being #700 :) I didn't go over how to paint fur or anything, but I feel like the basics really are a lot more important than learning tricks. I'd say color theory really is the most important one to learn for painting. Check out some yt videos- I would run on the elliptical at night and just watch them for fun. Remember to still practice though ;)
Feel free to comment other stuff you want me to go over at some point :) Thanks for 700+! also generally cool light --> warm shadows and vice versa just so you know ^^
