How to improve your art skills!

Hi everyone! Today's topic is How to improve your art skills!When you say you are not good at something you are already putting negative thoughts into your mind! So always keep in mind that you are good at everything, not just art! ENJOY!

MATERIALS NEEDED TO DRAW: pencils,eraser,pen,color pencils, paper, markers...

First of all, you need to know or have an idea about what you will draw. So, that means you will need to plan before you even start drawing. What I mean is you should have about 10-15 mins to think about what you will draw, then actually start drawing. My personal opinion would be to place that object or have a thought before you start. That way it will help you visualise and see how you want to start drawing.

Next, you should start drawing. when you start drawing, (lightly)draw/ sketch out your drawing. The reason why you should draw lightly/sketch is because if you make a mistake you could easily erase it and you won't even know you had drawn something on the paper!

After the sketch/outline of the drawing, begin coloring! To make your drawing look realistic you could add shading with the colors you are using. Suppose, you are using the color BLUE to make your drawing look realistic, you could pick out different shades of blue like dark blue, light blue etc. And you then could just add in those colors one by one on top of each other. THIS IS ONE OF MY REALISTIC DRAWINGS! I got the idea from a small object.......
