New Drawing Techniques Can Open Your Eyes to A World Of Possibilities!

I know different drawing techniques can change your perspective on things greatly. I can remember the exact time I realized this when I asked a fellow artist while in high school how he had achieved a certain look with his piece. Once he told me how he achieved his look with a simple shading technique my entire outlook on my own process of working changed forever.

It was as simple as that one little hint that not only gave me another tool in the box but also gave me something else to experiment with. This section will be filled with all those "A-Hah" moments and tips that have shaped my own art and helped it progress as well as tips for finding inspiration and ideas for your work.
