Make It Your Own. From patternmaking with stylized motifs to more realistic sketches, this section helps you develop your own creative approach by interpreting the prompts in your own way or by copying them using a different medium.
Stuff. Here are a few essential pieces of equipment you'll need, or what you could add to your kit. Includes plenty of ideas of what to do with your finished work, from making T-shirts and mugs to curating your own "pin it" library of pieces you're proud of.
With Start Here: Draw as your bright and beautiful creative companion, you'll learn how to draw and never want to stop.
Start Here: Draw is a companion title to Start Here: Paint, which guides you through the basics of painting, including color mixing, value, and shadow, and using ink, watercolor, and acrylic.
