    You can try shading your drawing in, with lighter colors In the middle and darker colors on the edges. Try shading wherever the light source would cast darker shadows.

    I can't draw anything. How can I get started?

    When you're drawing, make sure you are focused. This will help you avoid making mistakes. Also, if you are in a loud place, you could become startled while you are drawing and quite possibly mess up. Also, keep an image in your mind about what you want your drawing to look like. As you see the image, let the lines flow through your arm and out on to the paper. Drawing takes lots of time and practice.

    Draw a really skinny triangle and add curved lines inside of it. Once you've done that, you can add whatever details or effects you'd like.
