My name is Ken Liang, I'm a student and studying art/design at the moment.I like to draw since I was about 10, I believe that art is something that everybody can do.
I always try to push myself to do something that is harder than I could, because that's the quick way to learn things.For example, if I want to learn how to draw I would try to draw human faces instead of a pencil-case or something like that.
Of course the result might not be very good, but sooner or later the result will be better than what you expected.

Research is the most important thing, because knowledge is like money you can never have enough.

I highly recommend these 3 books for anyone who wants to improve their drawing skills.
