I went on and on about being a chemist (inspired by Breaking Bad reruns) to an app developer (but I figured that it would be really hard without proper training and it would be difficult to just rely on the internet and won’t be able to have decent answers if I have any questions) and now, in this moment, I want to be a great sketch artist.
GOAL: Be an amazing sketch artist
I reached out to my trusted friend and confidante, Google, and he came up with these tips and strategies:
1. Draw a lot. Malcolm Gladwell says it takes about 10,000 hours of doing something to become expert at it. Fill up one sketch book a month, at minimum.
2. Study the fundamentals. Study the best books.
3. Try drawing upside down so you can draw what you actually see
TO BUY:
1. Pencils
2. Sketchpad
3. Eraser
4. Sharpener
5. A good book teaching the basics
