As someone who enjoys art and DIY projects, this is actually a really helpful reminder. 🎨
Sometimes the issue isn't skill, it's simply the angle you're viewing your work from.

A tip that addresses one of the most common issues I have seen with my students:
Make sure you sit facing straight towards the CENTER of canvas or drawing surface. You also need to be far enough from the drawing.
It is not even about posture (also important), but view angle
You can make a flat shape have depth by using values. The highlight, halftones, and shadows, allow the progression from flat to solid as seen here, without using internal lines. #art#drawingtips
