Ya see, I have so many ideas of what to draw...but I can't quite make the picture...I can imagine them!!!!!

Aira, I don't usually imagine the finished picture. I find it as I draw so I just start.

It can help to draw from photos too.

I know that feeling,Aira, so I can sympathize. Five has given you two good suggestions. Just start a "doodle" and see where it takes you. Sometimes it goes nowhere, but it costs nothing to ditch it and start again. When I work from a photo, it never looks identical, but that's OK. I often simplify it on purpose, so it's not so daunting. All I can add is, draw what you love. Your opinion of it is the most important one.

Adding to what Lizzi and five have said - don't expect perfection the first time or any time you try something. Just keep trying and practicing and watching things others do and if you are not pleased with a drawing, try to learn to do something new. It takes a lot of patience and persistence. Don't give up.

I've just had a look through your gallery and you're improving how you overlap the pieces all the time!! This is a way you can mix all kinds of colours together just by finding the colours you want in the pieces and then putting them in the right place and overlapping them with lots of other colours you want. Five's suggestion of copying a photo is a great way to help you think of which colours you need to use. Your finished picture doesn't have to look like the picture you copy. Most of us change the picture to make it something very different, but this is the joy of art! Good luck!
