- Expand your imagination so that you can realize that you are competent enough to draw whatever you want and with whichever tool you choose.
- Definitely make sure to have a good set of drawing tools For some, it’s just pencil and paper. For others, it’s a full suite of drawing tools. There are a number of free and paid resources options you can choose from. Refer to in the ‘resources’ section.
- Watch instructional videos regularly.
- Draw! Every day.
- Drawing is not just a bunch of straight lines. Rather, it’s a collection of geometrical shapes that you have to always be aware of.
