Expert Answer

It is all about layering! For example, if you want to blend red and blue, add a layer of red and a layer of blue on top. The pressure is what gives you the different results possible, though. If you want more of the red to shine through, press it a little harder than you're pressing the blue pencil.

Question

How can I stop procrastinating when I want to draw?

Set a time each day or every few days to draw, and get in the rhythm of doing it every time at the same time. Carry a pencil and sketchbook with you, so that when you have free time or inspiration, you can draw right away.

Question

Nothing comes to my mind when I want to draw from imagination, and I don't like using references. What should I do?

Community Answer

Write down ideas even if they're stupid. Keep a notebook and write down whatever inspirations may occur. Ask for ideas from family and friends, too.
