I had to copy my favourite artists! I HATE fullbodies but this really made my confidence soar-

Here's where I got them!

I have a sneaky suspicion that the last one is AI, since some elements maid NO SENSE-
So...
That's wholesome-

But anyways, I learnt how to draw shoes and legs, which are the EXACT things I NEVER draw XD
Here's how I copied these drawings ALMOST exactly (look closely and almost nothing is exact).

Step 1, zoom out a HEAP, and sketch the overall figure, your goal is to make the silhouette, and then zoom in slightly to make the face (The sketch shouldn't look clean, AT ALL, thick brush and messy lines is perfect at this stage!)
Step 2, make a cleaner sketch, and ACTUALLY try and copy, you can zoom in, out, sideways, reverse flip turn it over slap ANYTHING, free-zoom. Just dont spend too long on ONE. SINGLE. DETAIL. If you are struggling to make, for example, the face look the same as your reference, just flick your eyes back and fourth, reference, drawing, reference, drawing. Do that for a few seconds and then magic will poof and you can see your mistakes!
Step 3, LINEARTTT~
Make some areas thicker and darker where there are shadows (inner thighs, neck, etc), do thinner lineart for INSIDE the silhouette, personally I forget to do that- And just dont get worried over small details, just make your drawing look similar and good!
These can take from an hour to 2 hours, so it's ALOT of copying.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...
Don't say it's your art- wait..
