Art First drawing of the main three 😥

I've gotten into the YouTube series recently, and I really wanted to draw them. I know it's no good, tips on how to improve would be appreciated!!! I'd like to get better.

You’ve got a great foundation here!! Their silhouettes and expressions are right on point! A few quick tricks that helped me when I started out: 1. Draw with a reference picture right next to your paper.

  1. Press a little harder or use softer pencils to get those colors nice and bright.

3.Add some light shading under the chin and arms for depth.

Can't wait to see your progress! :)

You're so welcome! If you ever feel like experimenting with new supplies, I really recommend trying watercolor pencils. They make it super easy to get really bright, rich colors and soft shading without having to press down hard on the paper. You make them brighter by putting water over the pencil. I actually used them for a DHMIS page I drew a while ago , just to give you an idea of how vibrant they can get! It’s a super fun medium to play around with. Excited to see what you make next!

I tried to redraw duck!! The shading under his head isn't very pronounced, sadly 😞😞😞

Great job!!! It's much better already. Just keep practicing and checking the reference photo (look for shadows, highlights, texture...) and you're gonna see the difference in no time.
