Learning to color and draw.

[Lauren Tyler]

I've been practicing since 2002, and while it's taken a while, I've come to realize that I can truly draw if I put my mind to it. This is one of my first coloring images. I know the dimensions may not be perfect, and there might be other flaws, but the point is that I'm learning, right?

Good.

Definately not bad - try to add some 3D elements to it if you can. It'll make it FAR harder to draw, but you'll learn a lot more far faster that way 🙂

Can you be a bit more specific as what you mean by 3D elements? As in shading?

I meant like, trying to add depth to it 🙂

That is a 2D image... eg, flat. It's how most everyone learns to draw as, obviously, paper is flat.

Try to re-create some of your poser are on paper - once you get the hang of adding the third dimension onto a flat surface, try some "original" 3d drawings 😀

I'm still workin on it myself... haven't made anything yet I'd be willing to share 🙁

Well its always nice to see new people trying out art. After all, how are you supposed to know you are good at something if you don't give it a go?

Yeah I know, but it sure as hell ain't easy!
