Community Q&A

QuestionI'm horrible at drawing, what should I do?
Community AnswerMost people are horrible at drawing until they practice. The more you practice and learn about drawing (check out tutorials online), the easier it will be and the better you'll become. There are no shortcuts. -
QuestionHow can I make it darker?
Community AnswerJust shade and color it. This will not only make it darker, but will add more detail. -
QuestionI cant get from steps six to nine. What should I do?
Community AnswerJust go through it line by line. When you are done with step seven, it should look something like the picture you are drawing. Then, instead of trying to do step eight, look at the original picture and shade until you drawing looks like the original. Step nine is really optional, but if you really want to, just use the original picture as a guide.
Warnings
- You might want to draw lightly in the start. Otherwise it would be hard to rub out, if you make a mistake.Thanks!
