Learning to draw

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist, Pablo Picasso.

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced, Vincent Van Gogh.

Visual Arts are art forms such as painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, video, filmmaking, design, crafts and architecture, that create works that are primarily visual in nature.

Drawing is an art that gives us a sense of peace, fulfillment, and pleasure.If you draw when you are feeling agitated, grumpy, and stressed out, you may end up feeling a little more relaxed, content, and at peace.

1. You may want to read our best Arts education apps and websites article, such as Khan Academy (Art History, Arts and humanities), Art Lessons, SchoolTube, etc.
   

2. There are many great apps for drawing illustrations and comics digitally such as Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, Gimp (a free cross-platform image editor), Krita (an open-source and free painting software), Photoshop, and MediBang Paint (a free digital painting and manga creation software).

3. Finding good references for drawing can be tough, challenging, and super time-consuming. Let's be sincere, nobody wants to waste their time scrolling through Pinterest or Google for hours without end. Let me suggest you some apps and websites for character posing and art reference.

    

4. Many artists use 3D characters for drawing. 3D Character modelling refers to the process of creating 3D characters using special software, such as Poser, Daz 3D, Character Creator, Mixamo, MakeHuman, Maya, and VRoid Studio.

      

5. If you’re in need of an ego boost, want to have some fun, change or revamp your look to resemble an anime, cartoon or Disney character, or you are just plain bored, this is your best moment to turn your selfies into a cartoon character and share them with your friends, relatives, and colleagues.

   There are many ways to make a cartoon picture of yourself for free. There are free apps (Prequel, Voila AI Artist Cartoon Photo, Prisma, Avatoon, etc.), cartoon filters on Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, and you can draw yourself as a cartoon.
