Tips • Draw as if you’ve just seen your subject for the first time • Let your hands do the talking – imagine your line conversing with the paper. • See patterns in everything. Color, dots, lines and motion! • Look up. And down. Often. Not everything is in the middle. • Make mistakes, and then some make more. brought to you by Amy@Pikaland Share this list with everyone! http://pikaland.com
