How to Draw

    Drawing is not only fun, but it is also relaxing. It's a fun way to waste time and the starting point of most art projects. Here are some pointers on how to do this fun hobby.

    When you start drawing, don't expect it to look like a Picasso masterpiece. Don't worry if your art looks bad. Honestly, it should probably look closer to a small collection of stick figures than anything.

    After you become familiar with things like the way you work a pencil and how to keep your paper from moving away when you draw, your drawings can start to evolve to cartoons. What's the difference between what you were doing and a cartoon? Your people before had a line for a back, but now they have an entire rectangle.

    Once you get the hang of cartoon art, try adding some color or texture. once you draw your little cartoon person in pencil and he looks pretty cool, color his t-shirt or hoodie red. Color his jeans blue. Once you color him in, add little lines in his hair for texture. You could even try your hand at shading!

    Once you are the proof of cartoon art, you can choose one of two paths. You could choose to draw anime, or you could choose more realistic art.

    Anime (pronounced ann-uh-may) is like a more detailed version of cartoon art. Anime is commonly used in shows. If you go into other art, you will be on the right track to start paintings.

    This is where we will leave you because from here on out, there are too many art variations to fit into one Bamboo post. If you google "how to draw ____", good instructions will come up.

    Thank you for reading, and see you soon!
