If you can hold a pencil or pen, you can expand your drawing skills by working on fun projects you'll enjoy! Drawing is both a rewarding pastime and a technical skill for artists, illustrators, animators, architects, and many other visual arts professionals. Learning to draw is also a great way to observe and connect with the world around you.
