Angie, your art is so breathtakingly beautiful and inspiring! Can you please tell me how you did them?! Or any starter tips? ;DD
I’m so sorry for the late reply, Em! I used a stylus on the Paper app for iPad, and as for how exactly I did them… I don’t really know how to explain! I just draw what’s on my mind and experiment a lot, I think.
But since you asked for starter tips, I would say that practice makes perfect. Whatever you want to draw well – practice it, over and over again. It may come out like crap at first (like all of my six-year-old scribbles), but do not, I repeat do not, give up. You’ll get better, guaranteed!
Sorry my advice isn’t anything new and groundbreaking, but it’s something that’s helped me through my growth as an artist… a lot of times I got caught up in needing to be perfect and do perfect work on the first try, but the truth is not all of us are prodigies, and we don’t have to be. All we need is to love art – and as long as we do, we’ll keep making it no matter how crappy we think it looks. And somewhere along the line, we get better. It’s kind of magic.
Okay, I should stop here before it becomes a full-on ramble. Hope this… helps?
