      Tips

      • If you use the bump technique, you should put it on a realistic character.
      • Make the bottom of the shirt curved so it looks more realistic (unless you want it to look cartoon-ish).

      Warnings

      • If you draw in class, listen and take notes at the same time -- concentrate, while doodling in the margins and between notes. Some teachers don't mind doodling on good notes, especially if it is related-to/illustrates the topic.
