What aspect of your art are you trying to get better at?

I'm working on my figure drawing right now. My knowledge of anatomy is sub par. Also I need more work on realistic faces.

How about you?

I don't have any one thing that I'm centered on improving, but I do have a lot of smaller ones. A few of those that I'm working on most right now are developing my cell-shading style and comic technique, water/liquids, and rocks.

How are you going about improving with cell-shading and drawing liquids and rocks? Are you using any resources in particular?

For the cell shading, I'm mostly just practicing at it, which is working pretty well for me so far. It's a completely different way of going about finishing a piece of art, so most of my issues thus far are about how to implement it and handling background shading, especially for objects with a lot of gradual contours, but I'm getting my way around them pretty well as I go, so I don't think I need resources and such for that.

With water and rocks, I have taken some measures to observe them more through my time outside and through photo references, which helps. I also look at how other artists handle them, which can help a lot with actual application. I probably would be improving with water faster if I practiced it more, though I have a lot of art ideas to do and as of the moment, not very many of them include water. The observation has helped me with drawing sea water, since whenever I go to the beach I take a lot of visual notes. Going to streams and rivers would be a great idea for other forms of water, but I would have to wait until I actually have a chance to go to some of those.
