Always use reference materials

Our memories tend to be a bit random and can be influenced by emotion, so they’re not always reliable.

When you’re just starting out, using vague images from memory as your starting point is unlikely to

lead to satisfactory results. Looking at reference materials as you draw will enable you to create a more

accurate sketch and will improve your efficiency, as you won’t need to waste time trying to remember

how something looks or making errors in your drawing.

Making use of selection tools

Using selection tools is effective when correcting blocking-in or rough sketches. However, if you rely

solely on these tools, you will never gain a deeper understanding of the human figure and it will take

longer for you to improve your drawing skills. So use them only for correcting your drawings during

the blocking-in and rough sketch stages.
