Advice for aspiring artists

To make your drawings beautiful, you need to know a few secrets:

• When drawing a girl in the distance, you can skip the nose. On a small face, it will look unnecessary and spoil the gentle image.
  
• When shading the hairstyle, the lines should be drawn along the hair growth.
• Sketches should be drawn using short, broken lines, otherwise the drawing will look sloppy.
• Graphite should be shaded with cotton swabs. If you rub the lines with your fingers, the shading will be uneven and dirty.

To draw anime Tian beautifully, you need to remember the features of this artistic style. You can learn to draw girls depicting different emotions and poses by looking at the pictures for copying, presented in the article.
