( Google’s Russian to English translation may be a little rough, but the advice is still good.)
1. Sketch
The first and most important point. Do at least 5-6 sketches per day. This rule works like this: the more the better. Use every opportunity to paint at home, at work, on the road. It develops a "hand", the sharpness and speed of perception, the ability to see the proportions and character. It is useful to draw storyboards for the film, comics step by step instructions. They have to control the movement of the characters, watching their recognizability. More

2. Copies of Old Masters
Surrounded himself with role models, develop the taste. Make a copy of 3 months. It should be solid with good originals Study of the great masters (Michelangelo, Rubens, Holbein, Dürer, Repin, Serov, Feshin and others). Try to maximize how you can get closer to the source, studying not only the techniques of the master, but his biography, the material culture of the time. More

3. Draw from memory
Even when working from nature, we work from memory. During a lengthy educational setting, in parallel sketches from memory, examining details, draws at home or that element. Developing visual memory, you will become not only a good draw, and write persuasively.

4. Study and consult with the nature of
Explore nature at least 2 hours per day under the guidance of an experienced mentor. Principle: from simple to complex. For the fruitful development of professional skills necessary to have an individual plan of study or to follow the prescribed curriculum. Work in the studio combine to travel to the Picnic. Do not let yourself confused knock formal experiments. Trust your instincts and always compare theory with practice.

5. Read the professional literature
All you need to know, has long been written - do not reinvent the wheel. Read a book a month. Technique and technology of materials, art history, anatomy, cromatics, tracts of old masters, artists' biographies, the physics of natural phenomena, the basis of perception, psychology, philosophy - read everything connected with the profession of an artist. Today, the Internet provides a global opportunity to get almost any material. But you can not trust everyone.

6. Look for a mentor
Constantly look for a mentor, according to their professional growth. You have to completely trust his knowledge, experience and his creative activity should call the universal respect. Often, good artists can not be mentors. For this we need to have a methodical and academic talent. Give advice to small - need to participate in the life of a student, think of the job taking into account the personality and abilities. On the other hand, the teachers on the staff often perform supervisory functions, and have not practiced the art. Their shkolyarnye truth are without this skill and craftsmanship. Sometimes, only one meeting with a true master can change your whole future.

7. Repeat mistakes
Usually, people are encountering the first obstacle - abandon the job. They are afraid of repeating mistakes. It did not work - start a new one! Do not be afraid to make mistakes - take a look at them closely. Perhaps it "speaks" your identity. Turn their disadvantages into advantages.

8. Not Draw on photos
The temptation to simplify the work with nature can have irreversible consequences. Amateur painter, not realizing the intricacies of identifying shapes, wittingly or unwittingly falls in relation to view the world through the lens. He feels that this will bring it to nature. Believe me - it's not the case.
The camera can not replace the work your heart and mind to transfer the reality on the plane. And especially do not revise it creatively, which is particularly valuable. Only mustered sufficient experience and become a master can be used to collect material fotoappart and fixation point.

9. Take breaks
Do not get hung up on one and the same - to know how to switch. Does not work - make a break, go for a walk. Start a fundamentally different picture, change the point of view, change the equipment, try new stuff. It is useful to have several simultaneous work with different tasks, using a new technique. Sometimes you just need to step back to look at ourselves.

10. Engaged in creative work
Put it in front of a big goal. We must always remember why you decided to learn. Do not shelve plans for their artistic and creative ideas. Begin to implement them right now. Take part in exhibitions, competitions, regardless of the level of training and distance. Be an artist!
