Art: 10 Things You Need

PART 1: THE BASICS

1. INTEREST.

In order to even start off doing art, you need to enjoy and be passionate about what you're doing. Something that is always true is that your artwork reflects your interest.   If you're someone that isn't too interested in art, I would recommend you try at least something (there are so many different styles of art!), but  it's okay if art's not your thing. If you're interested and not at the level you want to be, keep going. Never give up. The only way to get better is to keep trying.




2. TIME.

Art takes time! In order to create quality work that you will appreciate, time is necessary. If you are interested and passionate about art like I talked about in #1, then making time for art is something you should be trying to do. Maybe you can watch your favorite show on TV and ALSO be doodling in your sketchbook.

PART 2: SUPPLIES
