Hiya Naa

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I know. Its all very well talking about how to add colour, but how to draw in the first place? Well, Id say practice. Shed inhibitions and expectations. And do it for at least 20 mins a day, maybe in a sketchbook. And draw ANYTHING. No shadows to start with, just lines. Two good tricks are blind contour, and gesture drawing. Blind contour involves drawing without even peeking at the page. Just pop your pencil on the page, keep it there and moving, and stare at what youre drawing instead of the page. The Gesture drawing means just scribbling your way round a picture, lots of scratchy marks and eventually perhaps seeing an image emerge. I also wonder if my guest blog on drawing might have some ideas too: https://lizzieharper.co.uk/2018/07/guest-blog-seven-drawing-exercises-by-nathan-hughes/? Main thing though…just do it! And good luck, and dont get disheartened. You dont need to show drawings to anyone, and please be sure not to judge yourself as you evolve. x
