We are delighted that PJ illustrator, Inbal Leitner, will be the judge for this summer’s PJ Drawing Competition. Here she shares her top tips for your budding artists at home:
1. If you would like to include objects, landscapes animals or people in your artwork, and you're not sure how to draw them, try drawing them from life and get really familiar with their details and shape.
2. When you've learnt how to draw them, you can use your imagination to change them or add other details.
3. If there are parts in your drawing which are more important than others, think of creative ways to help them stand out.
4. Think of the colours you're using and how can they serve the mood/feeling you want to have in your artwork.
5. Be creative! Try different materials and methods - paints, pencils collage and more - separately or combined!
