New Patron's Beginner Guide: Navigating Collections for Faster Art Improvement
🕑 Added 2023-06-30 15:52:32 +0000 UTCWelcome!
You've just joined my Patreon and if you're overwhelmed by the great amount of content you've just unlocked, don't worry. In this article, I'll help you tackle this issue so you can get the most out of my work for your improvement.
Let's divide our plan into three steps: My Process, Information, and Execution:
.
1. My Process
The first thing you need to understand is my creative process:
My process is pretty straightforward. I spend a fair amount of time thinking about what I want to create. Once I feel I have something interesting to produce visually, I move on to the execution phase, which includes first working on shapes, then color, and finally values. This process may vary but often shares the same structure. In simple terms:
- Concept: Idea, Inspiration, Reference.
- Shape: Anatomy, Gesture, Costume, Composition, Perspective.
- Color: Color theory, Composition, Balance.
- Value: Lighting, Shadow, Volume, Textures.
.
2. Information
Now that you understand a bit more about my process, this raises a key question: how can you find information about these categories? Here on Patreon, you'll find a section called "Collections." My collections are structured the way I create my art, and within those collections, you'll find all the popularly known art categories.
It's worth noting that the articles in these collections are designed to jump-start your creative process. They represent just a selection and not the entire range of content available on my Patreon. Most of my articles cover the creative process from concept to execution across various topics. Therefore, I encourage you to explore beyond these curated selections to access the full scope of what my Patreon has to offer.

.
3. Execution
Information is power, but if you're like me, you learn by doing. So, the last step is to build a routine that allows you to put my theory into practice. I wrote an article explaining exactly how you can create an exercise routine in only five steps.
A 5 Step Routine to Nail Any Skill!
That's it! If it's your first time trying something like this, it might make sense that you feel scared. However, the key is to keep it simple and short at the beginning . Taking small steps every day over long periods of time will build up the confidence you feel you lack. As a consequence, your skills will strengthen, much like a muscle getting trained constantly. You can do it!
.
Feel free to drop any questions here in the comments, via DMs here on Patreon, or in our Discord community. I'll be more than happy to answer and see your progress.

Try the steps first. If there’s any specific detail from my process that you would like to understand, then copying might be a useful option afterward
Diana Arus
Thank you for this! Super helpful! Do you recommend copying your studies to learn, or just follow your steps?

Hi Mohs, please check your email. After subscribing, you should receive an email from Patreon with the links. Check your spam folder just in case it's not in your main inbox. If you still haven’t received the email, let me know via private message and I’ll send you the links. Thank you for your support
Mohs
Hey, this might be a bit forward, but i’ve subscribed, can i ask you to share your brushes ?
Ramon Nuñez
¡Hola Gabriel! Me alegra ver a un colega venezolano por aquí. Sé lo difícil que es el tema económico allá, así que aprecio mucho que hayas decidido apoyarme. No dudes en escribirme si tienes cualquier duda; haré lo posible por ayudarte

Hola Ramón! Sigo tu arte desde hace muchísimo tiempo pero es la primera vez que puedo pagar tu Patreon desde Venezuela. Me encanta lo que haces, y los conceptos que manejas. Gracias por ser una inspiración para mí y para muchísimos más! Tengo una pregunta, tu linea parece ser algo que haces muy rápido desde tus inicios, o al menos así lo percibo yo, y yo suelo buscar eso también ya que me gusta hacer las piezas en un tiempo corto, ¿debería tomarme más tiempo en cada pieza que haga? Muchísimas gracias de antemano si lees mi comentario y respondes a mi duda!

omg, it's been a month since I've been on your patron, at first I was bubbling with anxiety and happiness, I'm slowly calming down and trying to enjoy little by little all the knowledge you share here, I'm very happy to know that there are artists like you out there, and I'm very pleased with myself to be here and participate in this "creative/personal/artistic journey", thank you
