I like to draw. This is why: It comes really naturally to me. I always draw girls in my pictures (because I am good at drawing them) unless it’s an advertisement without girls in them.

Background information:
1. I always use black and white. (I get carried away with the color.)
2. I hate watercolors. (I hope my watercolors didn’t hear that.)
3. I loooooove drawing funny pictures. Why? No problemo. Because I’m a funny girl. One time I drew exploding coffee.
4. I have pierced ears. (I know it’s off the surface of drawing, so you don’t have to worry about that.) It DOES NOT, I repeat does not help me think.

Here’s some tips (for drawing a person):

1. Get a clean piece of paper.
2. Draw a head. (A circle.)
3. Add eyes. (Any kind you want!)
4. Add a body. (A triangle.)
5. Add arms. (Any kind you want!)
6. Add a smile.
7. Add a nose. (Any kind you want!)
8. Add legs. (Sticks.)
9. Add feet. (Any kind you want!)
10. Add hair.

CLOSING!

Drawing makes me feel happy!

P.S. I forgot to introduce myself. So my name is Eva. (It doesn’t stand for anything.)
