ITT: Things that have changed your way of thinking- thus helping you improve!
Sometimes improving in art comes from changing the way you see things! Tell everyone about a realization/quote/change of understanding helped you improve. Even the smallest, dumbest thoughts can help you out.
I'll start:
Had a hard time rendering materials, teacher said.
"The difference in materials is how light sensitive it is, especially as it recedes into the distance."
Had a hard time putting several people into a scene. Friend (way better than me) said;
"Make them act."

ah, good thread
some friends of mine always drew feminine fingers curved upwards. helped me out with drawing hands through gestures.
also, this was way early, but I kept hearing that legs can be a little longer than most of the proportions, and it helped out with the measurements for a while, when I was learning how to construct.

awkward painting, that's an uncomfortable and fly-swatted pose, particular for the arm on the viewer's left.

>before you erase a bad line, use it as a reference to draw the fixed line.
seems simple and obvious but blew me away.
>real color has a mix of warm and cool tones in everything.
>value is more important than hue.
>making accurate mid-tones before rendering is extremely important.

Symbolic drawing and the fact that getting good at drawing takes a lot of effort and time every single day.
Wish my high school art teacher had told me this because I might not have wasted a year and a half studying shit I couldn't care less about at uni.
