Today on 'Cait attempts to teach herself to draw': This rippling banner/flag
uh sorry here is the actual pic
@caitofthenorth T'is a good start! Want a piece of advice that'll help you improve? Or, well, it helped me a lot, anyway....
@caitofthenorth One thing most people do when they first start drawing is they don't draw what they are actually seeing, but instead draw a *symbol* of the thing; eyes come out as football shapes with dots in 'em, for example, and clouds come out like thought-balloons from the comics rendered in the purest white. So be conscious of your predisposition to simplify a thing to a symbolic form, try to turn that part of your brain off, and really pay attention to the shape and color of what's there.
