    Love this video, it inspired me to have a go. I discovered that for a learner I'm actually reasonably good at drawing fish! Maybe it helps that I've been drawing the type of fish I used to catch when I was younger. I've been drawing them on plywood which gives them a different look.

      @prernadraws 2 роки тому

      Hi Aditi! Thank you for watching. Honestly, I think I’ve always gravitated towards dry media. I did give watercolors a try, but when I picked up pencils, it was like a feeling in my bones that said this is the medium for me 😄 I like the control that dry media gives. Watercolors are a bit too uncontrollable for me.
