Art, how to start, and why it's important for your brain!
Hey Readers!
It’s been almost a year since I began to learn how to draw and paint. It was an absolutely crazy journey and I now consider myself a beginner.
This is what one of my first drawings looked like in May of 2020 where I tried to imitate the artist Vimal Chandran.
This is what my drawings started looking like 6 months later in October of 2020 when imitating a drawing I found on dribble
And this was my most recent drawing from last week - largely from my mind and combination of photos online
Along the way, I’ve experimented with different materials, dimensions, colors, artistic styles, and more.
But a lot of it came down to trying to learn from a few of these videos on youtube. If you’ve wanted to be an artist, or just curious to learn how to sketch, these are great resources to try with you and/or your friends/family!
