Hi, I'm interested in drawing, but I am a complete beginner. I've looked into how to draw, but most of the time it's just the same: "just draw whatever." However, I'm unsure where to begin or draw. Does anyone have any advice?

Don’t put expectations on yourself. Let whatever writing utensil you are using flow.  Look for inspiration. It could be things in your environment, pictures (even in coloring books) or maybe from your imagination. Do a little challenge for yourself and draw something different each day. Watch you tube videos. 

It’s your art, expression, and own touch. It does not have to be perfect. Have fun or relax, whichever feels most important. 🖊️ ✏️ 🖍️ 

good luck on your new adventure!! Don’t be afraid to treat yourself to a sketch book too! 😊

@peachThinker662 Thank you. Should I focus on mastering the basics also? I want to get the basics of art down too?

You’re welcome .

Are you referring to shading and colors?

I think just having comfort of lines and using beginner guide references is a really good start.

You don’t want to overwhelm yourself. Practice simple and work your way up. That’s why I like sketch books. You can look back and see the progress made.
