How can I learn more about creating art and story’s behind my art?
I want to grow to be an Artist because I’ve always been interested in the way animators create shows and how artist create drawing/painting that always had a story behind them. I want to learn more about the human anatomy so I can be better at realism and more about how animators draw in cartoony styles for short stories and funny scenes. I would also like to learn how to get better and writing stories for my characters, I can make short pieces and scenes of a story but I’m not very good at creating a actual narrative/story for them.
Thank you and I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Hi Juliet,
It's great that you're so passionate about both art and storytelling. To grow as an artist and storyteller, here’s a path you could take:
1. Learn Human Anatomy:
Understanding anatomy is key for realism. I personally watch this amazing artist, Marc Brunet, on YouTube—his videos really helped me learn anatomy. You can also consider online courses like Proko (which also has a YouTube channel) or books like "Anatomy for Sculptors." These resources are great for building a strong foundation. Once you've learned the basics, I recommend searching for reference poses—Pinterest is great for that. Use those as a reference and practice the gesture of the poses.
2. Animation:
There’s a great course on 2D animation by Dermot O' Connor on LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com). I learned a lot from it, like storyboarding, how animals move in animation, and about old Disney animation. Also, to get better at cartoony styles, study the work of animators you admire. Platforms like Skillshare or YouTube tutorials can be super helpful for learning different techniques.
3. Storytelling for Art:
Writing stories for your characters can be challenging, but it’s all about practice. Maybe try animating short scenes from existing children's books just for practice and to get a feel for short animations. Then, you can start expanding your own short pieces and scenes, gradually building them into larger narratives. You might find it helpful to take a creative writing course or read books, comics, or webtoons to enhance your storytelling skills.
4. Join Communities: Being part of artist and writer communities online (like DeviantArt, Cara Discord or even LinkedIn groups) can provide feedback and inspiration, helping you refine your craft.
Here’s the summary list of study materials mentioned:
1. Marc Brunet's YouTube channel
2. Proko (online courses and YouTube channel)
3. Anatomy for Sculptors (book)
4. Pinterest (for reference poses)
5. Dermot O'Connor's 2D animation course on LinkedIn Learning
6. Skillshare
7. YouTube tutorials
8. Creative writing courses
9. Read Books, comics, webtoons
So my answer is a bit long and has a lot of learning materials, but don't get overwhelmed. Remember, every great artist and storyteller started where you are now. Keep practicing, stay curious, and let your creativity lead the way. You've got this!
I hope this helps.
Best of luck on your artistic journey!

Hi Juliet,
I think you have a gift for expression and creativity. It takes time to develop your skills so be patient and practice as much as you can. Take advantage of your everyday life because that is your own individual point of view. All of your experiences are unique to only you. While you are waiting in line, watch the people around you and create a little story to go with the person in front of you. (Is his shirt wrinkled because he dashed out the door after sleeping through the alarm?) Get a small sketch book and draw the people you see. Make notes on the things that inspire you. There are all kinds of inspiration all around you. Take your short stories and add small details to them. The best source of anatomy is already in front of you. Draw your own hand and study how many lines there are your thumb. (Do they change as you bend it? Measure the nail. How many nail lengths is the finger?) Draw as much as possible and use your "spare" time to practice, practice, practice. Scribble on the napkin. Doodle while you listen to music. Continue to ask questions like you did here, and be open to inspiration in everything and anything. Your best friend could be the character. (What did she do that made you laugh?) You will get better the more you continue. All of the paintings that inspire you started with a sketch. Your favorite character was inspired by someone the artist loved. There is no exact formula I can give you. No check list to complete that at the end declares you an ARTIST. You are already an artist. Find your inspiration and ways to express yourself.

Hi Juliet,
thank you for sharing your lovely ambitions! I am an artist myself (& still learning ) so I can share some tips i learnt along the way.
1) Enrol in art school - there are fundamental techniques that needs to be learnt - this include colour mixing, how colours complement each others, toning, lighting and types of medium, strokes. Personally without learning from the experts, it is very difficult to interpret what corrections are needed to improve your personal artwork
2) human anatomy - research on books/online about the anatomy. There are rules in proportions. Another important way to learn , is to start sketching away, and observe the lines, nuances. what i have learned is that observation ability is what help artists significantly improve in realism.
3) for animation - manga courses might help. There are free online courses on youtube etc. if you have an ipad or tablet, start doodling away
above it all, it is the # of hours that you spent on your art that will eventually hone your craft. Its an amazing and sometimes frustrating , but once you pick up the brush or pen - you are on the way to start creating magic.
here are some of artwork i did : https://www.instagram.com/living_the_canvas/?igsh=MW15dzgwcjhkOTBlNQ%3D%3D&utm_satatomicource=qr . i wanted to share this because i never thought i could be an artist as i started very late learning that in life :). so, GO FOR IT!

Think about your characters as actual people. Don't think about them as individuals in a book or a short story, flesh them out and give them their own unique quirks, from the smallest to the most grandiose gestures they make. From the time they wake up in the morning until their bed hits the pillow, what are they like? What do they look like? What do they aspire to? There's an entire world to draw from in terms of inspiration, and the fun thing is that you can pull from anywhere and give your characters a veritable hodgepodge of personality traits and appearances. Don't limit yourself, but think about each character from conception until completion.
Make them real in your story, give them lives of their own.

From my experience, get inspiration on situations that happen in real life and give your twist on it. For example, when I was a child, I always had imaginary friends. Not that I was lonely, but I thought it would be funny to have someone with me and I have the qualities I always wanted in someone. At my age, I use that time period to come up with stories I think other children would relate to. But to make it more engaging, I would make the friend a magical creature (like in one of my stories, the moon becomes sentient and befriends a teenage girl named Aya).
You can also get inspirations from other pieces of work. They can be books, TV shows, comics, movies, etc. As long as you give it your own spin, it's perfectly fine!

Thank you so much for this information! I loved the idea of creating stories from real life experiences and for sure will now look at the world with a new perspective and approach! Have a great day, Kennedy!

It's wonderful that you're pursuing both art and storytelling! Here are some steps you can take to improve your skills in these areas:
### 1. **Artistic Skill Development**
- **Human Anatomy for Realism**: Start with anatomy books like *"Figure Drawing for All It's Worth"* by Andrew Loomis or *"Anatomy for Sculptors"*. Study life drawing, focusing on skeletal structure, muscles, and proportions. Practice regularly with gesture drawing to capture movement and form.
- **Cartoony and Animation Styles**: Explore books like *"The Animator’s Survival Kit"* by Richard Williams and *"Cartoon Animation"* by Preston Blair. These provide insight into animation fundamentals, character design, and how to convey emotion and movement in a simplified, cartoony style. Try practicing with short loops of animation using simple software like Procreate or Adobe Animate.
### 2. **Creating Stories for Art**
- **Storytelling through Art**: One key to storytelling in visual art is understanding narrative structure. Study the principles of visual storytelling, such as how composition, color, and lighting guide the viewer’s eye and convey emotion. *"Framed Ink"* by Marcos Mateu-Mestre is a good resource for visual storytelling in comics and illustrations.
- **Writing Stories for Characters**: Begin with a character-focused approach by fleshing out character backstories, desires, and conflicts. Story structures like the *three-act structure* or *The Hero’s Journey* can help guide you in forming a cohesive narrative. *"Save the Cat!"* by Blake Snyder offers practical advice for structuring stories, especially short pieces.
### 3. **Blending Art and Narrative**
- **Create Short Animations or Comics**: Start with small, manageable projects like one-minute animations or single-page comics to practice combining visuals with storytelling. Use each project as a learning experience, focusing on different aspects like character interaction or building suspense.
- **Storyboards and Animatics**: Storyboards are a great way to plan scenes visually, helping you practice how art and narrative come together. Consider creating animatics (rough animations with sound) to explore how timing, pacing, and storytelling work together in animation.
### 4. **Courses and Tutorials**
- **Online Art Schools**: Consider platforms like Schoolism, Gnomon, or even YouTube channels like *Proko* for anatomy and *Jazza* for animation and storytelling tips. You can also find animation courses on Udemy or Skillshare tailored for beginners.
### 5. **Studying Animators and Artists**
- **Analyze Art and Shows**: Pick apart your favorite animated shows or artworks, studying what makes them appealing. Try to recreate scenes or characters, and then add your own twist to them, learning by doing.
By immersing yourself in both the technical and narrative aspects, you’ll gradually develop the skills needed to bring your stories and characters to life in a captivating way. Keep practicing and experimenting!

Hi Juliet - what a wonderful literary name!
As far as being an artist and/or writer is that most of us have started from an early age. I can't tell by the way you phrase your question whether or not you actually do draw/paint/write. Because first things, first way to get better at any art is practice, practice, practice. If you want to write then start writing and the same for the other areas you mentioned - painting, animation.
Searching the internet will return many good sources of information and free software downloads.
You can take local or online classes and that will help you improve as well. I found an animation site that offers training as well - AnimationMentor. There are a lot of options for where and how to improve your skills. If you want to be an animator you will eventually need to learn animation software. You can get free trial of just about any software there is.
On another internet search I found another software for animation called Aesprite. You can also subscribe to Adobe Creative Suite to get the use of Photoshop and Illustrator.
If you are creating short pieces and characters then you are writing stories, and narratives. They maybe just pieces but still you are creating stories. Will any of the pieces go together to create a large piece or a complete narrative? That's how you can actually write an entire story, by writing scenes in the story and then putting it together. I actually write my stories by writing different scenes - little pieces of the whole story.
Anyway, I guess my advice is search for classes in the skills you want, whether in-person or online, take the classes, take a variety of classes. Also go outside and sit under a tree (or somewhere else) and start drawing what you see. Practice. If you feel like it, make up a story about what you are looking at as you draw.

Hi, Juliet! It’s wonderful to hear about your passion! Art and storytelling also inspired me to pursue art professionally. Here’s a breakdown of some resources and strategies that might help you as you develop your skills:
Anatomy: To start, researching art online can provide you with a wealth of information. I recommend exploring anatomy books or online courses specifically tailored for artists. I recommend checking out Proko on YouTube; they provide excellent resources for building a solid foundation in the basics and fundamentals.
Art Style: To capture a specific animator’s style, closely study their work and practice replicating their techniques. Choose an artist you admire, draw inspiration from their work, and analyze their drawing and compositional methods.
Explore Animation: To deepen your understanding of animation and cartoon styles, explore online courses or tutorials on platforms such as Skillshare or Udemy. You can also take art classes and workshops to gain hands-on experience and receive personalized feedback. Many animators also share their techniques for free on YouTube and LinkedIn Learning.
Writing Stories: For honing your writing skills, studying storytelling techniques and structures can be incredibly helpful. Consider picking up a book on creative writing or enrolling in a course focused on narrative development. Writing prompts and exercises can also spark new ideas. You can also try watching YouTube videos analyzing films or games. I particularly enjoy The Closer Look’s video on "How To Divide A Fanbase - The Last of Us 2".
Join Art and Writing Groups: Connecting with other artists and writers can offer a supportive community and a space to enhance your skills. Look for local or online groups where you can share your work and receive constructive criticism.
Keep practicing your craft, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. I hope you find these suggestions helpful!
