The cultural history of pink has seen the colour morph both in terms of its gender associations and socio-political alignments. In The Secret Lives of Colour, Kassia St Clair describes how 'the strict girl-pink boy-blue divide only dates from the mid-twentieth century'. Blue - the traditional colour in which the Virgin Mary is depicted - was seen as the more feminine, delicate colour. Whereas pink, basically a toned-down red, was by association the colour of strength, masculinity and warfare. Doodle whenever you have a moment. It's good practice for your drawing skills and will help keep your creative juices flowing. 2. Photorealism

Anamorphosis is a perspective technique that uses distortion to portray an illusion that is only observable from a specific vantage point. Using curving horizontal and vertical lines, you can easily create the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional sheet of paper. Cross-contour drawing is a popular and long-established drawing exercise taught at most AP drawing art schools.

You also need to consider that it'll take a long time to complete hyperrealistic drawings, and you'll need to focus intently on minute details. Scribble art is a deliberate technique used to create a specific artistic result. Scribbles are used to form shapes, textures, and shading that build up to create a recognizable image or abstract design. The dots are grouped together to create images. Shading and gradients are created by placing the dots closer together or spreading them out. You can get incredibly detailed with stippling, which also teaches you to be conscious of shading. While you don't need to be a trained artist or designer to be able to make beautiful line drawings, there's still a fair amount of practice that goes into making elegant lines.
