Go Beyond the Basics of Drawing and Coloring

Drawing and coloring may seem like an over simplified way to explain the ideas and concepts on this site, but it will help you to keep them in perspective. Once you break it down to the simplest form, that is all you are really doing.

Do you find yourself asking or telling yourself these?

"That is so awesome!

How did they do that?

Where did they get the inspiration?

I wish I could develop such a cool style

I guess I'm just not a real artist

I did. I was even intimidated by just the thought of trying other types of media. Although I always found myself looking for new techniques, I was always afraid to try new mediums, most notably color mediums.

The key thing I was missing wasn't the passion to create great art but the knowledge and skills to help develop and flesh out my ideas effectively and confidently.

Lack of confidence can stop anyone from exploring and advancing in any endeavor they choose. This is no different when it comes to art.

This site is for you!

This website is dedicated to that process of finding your style and medium and it hopefully can serve as the accelerator button I never had when first learning drawing and coloring techniques.

I will share all those little "aha" moments, techniques and ideas that I have learned from other artists and many years of my own artistic adventures which have helped me gain recognition and win many contests and awards as well as have my work published. The tips shared here will help you build confidence quickly and help you explore and develop your own visions more effectively.

Obviously not every technique and tip is for everyone, so take what works for you and trash the rest. I will hopefully be able to provide you with more to take than to trash. Ones thing I can assure you the more practice you put in the more results you will reap. So let's both continue our never-ending journeys of drawing and coloring
