Draw Like Artist Lindsay Cibos
Lindsay's advice to young artists.
Don't give up if your first drawings aren't perfect. Art is not something that can be learned overnight. Keep a sketchbook, and take it with you everywhere. Look around you, draw what you see. Visit the zoo and sketch animals. Sketch people at the mall. The more you draw, the better you'll get. Good luck! _~ Lindsay
About Lindsay
I've always had a love for art, and have been drawing from the time I was able to hold a crayon. Growing up, I enjoyed painting realistic renditions of animals, as well as drawing my favorite cartoon characters. I was a huge fan of animated Disney movies, and wanted to be an animator before I discovered and fell in love with the medium of comics.
My drawing and coloring skills are mostly self-taught through observation, dedication, and a lot of practice. In school, I took as many drawing and painting classes as possible. I've also taken a participated in a few community life drawing, cartooning, and animation classes
