This is your daily reminder that eyes are 3-dimensional! Even artists making super stylized work like manga need to think about the 3D shape of the eyeball, the eyelids, and the surrounding skull. It's how you avoid flat faces 👌 Studies by Mattia Rangoni 🎨

Hands are fiddly—but they’re highly expressive too! Instead of avoiding hands, use them as an opportunity to say something about your character’s state of mind. Is your character relaxed? 🫴 Or are they full of tension and rage? 🤜 Hand studies by the brilliant Mattia Rangoni 🎨

Are you giving STRUCTURE to the female torso? Beginner artists tend to oversimplify it ✖️ Next time you draw a female torso, try starting with the masses of the ribcage & pelvis! This will help convey the 3D structure of the bones & muscles 💪 Studies by the brilliant Mattia Rangoni 🎨
