Sometimes artists want to express their feelings so they put their feelings in their art
You should try that too when you want to express your feelings.
•Keep old drawings to encourage you as you see your improvement.
•Understand that no one has to be born with a talent. Those that are, are lucky. Art can be developed with interest. Most art need not be painted like a picture. One can use a camera for exactness. Paintings develop from the artists feel of the subject, interpretation and varying colors. No two people are exactly alike. No two artists paint the same way, and no two see things in the exact colors. Art can be learned, discovered and can develop with the proper exposure. Just remember being an artist is not how well you can draw, but the emotion that comes out of it.
•Look at art, as you increase in sophistication, you MIGHT be able to more fully appreciate the sophistication of great artists. Not everyone is able to notice detail. Great art is instructive; it will cause you to change your approach on a given subject and give you hints on how to achieve what you set out to create. The best way to view art is in person, a reproduction in a book is nice, but remember there is more to a painting than the picture represented; tactility of the surface, luminosity, and other subtleties are only accessible in person--it is often the case that the greatness of the work are only apparent in these aspects. This is especially the case in abstract art, but should not be discounted in figurative work; go look how Rembrandt handles his paint, where he makes use of transparent washes, the effect of a given color layered over another--if you begin to notice such things you'll be guaranteed to expand your flexibility as an artist.
•You will likely improve in bursts of personal insight into seeing the world around you as an artist.
•Never ever stop trying to become an artist because it is great. *Never be humiliated when someone laughs at a drawing.
•Display art work in indie shops or coffee shops to get your name out there.
•Doodling actually helps your perspective...When you draw recklessly, it helps you see what you're capable of.
•Always say "It's how I draw and this is what I think is good", don't take others opinion to your heart if they say something bad about your drawing.
•When you finish your first sketchbook, buy another! By the time you've finished that you'll have improved so much.
•Get your work out there by trying to get your artwork into art galleries.
•When you are drawing your surroundings, you don't need to make everything exact. Add your own twist!
