Introduction
I have one word of advice for the budding artist: Draw. Take a sketchbook with you wherever you go. Doodle whenever you get the chance. Draw the strangers you see.
It is always good to do studies of anything that you can think of. Here are some examples of my sketches. Most of these are really nothing special and were done while I was bored during a lecture, but it gives you an idea of things to do!
