hi everone, it is me Leon

i love drawing, some how it seems that i am stuck on one drawing level.

how can i improve myself?

i can sketch. but then i can't give more detail to the sketch. for example, i can sketch a hand, in a line form, but then when i want to make it look real and when i want to give it more detail, then i got stuck, i dont know how to add more detail.

can someone help?

Draw. And after that, draw some more. Seriously, the best artists have drawn for most of their lives. It's learning the lines and colors, and where to put them and how to put them.

So basically draw everything, from real life, pictures, photos, other art. Honestly while you're learning you should even find art that appeals to you and trace it (don't claim it as your own of course, that is very wrong). Tracing other people's stuff to learn is perfectlly fine. It teaches you the lines they used to make what they made so good.

Like I said though, just draw everything, anytime, anywhere.

Challange yourself with limitations and other materials you are not used to or even comfortable using. Just keep working and try not to slack to much. it comes down to how much you want it and what you are willing to put in :D so draw on
