I started drawing and painting a few years ago. I'm telling you I couldn't draw two stick figures together (don't judge me lol). Early on my mom taught me how to crochet. From there I taught myself latch hook and cross stitch. I've always been a crafty person, I've learn it's a great stress relief.
So back to the subject of how I got started. Its not a elaborate story. I really just woke up one day back in 2012 and decided I would like to teach myself how to draw. I first started with learning the use of shading pencils and different techniques. I referred to a few books, (which I will have a list for you in few days) also youtube is a great way to start.
When it comes to being a artist anything goes, there are many types of form of a artist. Before I started I thought about what am I good at and what do I enjoy doing. From there it took off. I knew that i love nature and I play close attention to details. With that being said I started with trees, I found most of my drawings and painting have trees. That's the key, it's to find your niche. I realized that I have a love for nature. Keep these things in mind if your thinking about being a artist.
I hope you enjoyed this article and I hope it help with starting your process as a artist. A quote I would like to leave you with is "Do what you love and love what you do".
