If you’ve ever been drawn to the world of art, you know there’s no better way to express yourself than through drawings. Whether you draw on an iPad, a sketchbook, or a canvas, there’s an art form to capture your most colorful ideas.
But before you start drawing, there’s one type of art form that must be mastered – the “homie.” Whether it’s a cartoon character, an imaginary friend, or an animal character, the Homo is often the foundation of every composition.
If you’re new to the art world, here are a few quick tips to draw a homie like a pro.
Choose the Right Medium.
Whether you’re drawing for yourself or someone else, the medium you choose to draw a homie can be quite impactful. We suggest beginning with the basics: paper and pencil or an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. From there, you can work your way up to markers, inks, and watercolors, which will help you add more depth.
Know What Makes A Homie Special.
Homies should have that same sense of personality and character that you possess, so it’s important to make sure your homie looks as unique as your drawing style. Start with creating distinct features such as eye shape, hair texture, and unique costumes and accessories. A homie’s personality is also quite important, so use modifiers, hyperboles, metaphors and emotional triggers to convey the right emotion in your character.
Create the Scene.
Think about how you want to portray the context of your homie by creating a compelling background in your drawing. What kind of environment will your homie be in? A sunny beach with palm trees or a moonlit night? What type of activities and hobbies does your homie like to do? Creating a detailed scene will add more meaning, personality and liveliness to your drawing.
Play with Different Elements.
As you bring your homie to life, don’t forget to add elements to help capture the moment. From doodles and symbols to props and animals; these elements will add depth to your composition and provide layers of meaning in your painting.
Practice and perfect.
While practice makes perfect when it comes to drawing, don’t be scared to make mistakes. And, of course, enjoy the process of drawing your homie. Have fun and embrace the creative process!
The Finishing Touches.
When drawing your homie, consider what type of color palette to use in your project: bright and vibrant or neutral and pastel? Or both. Next, choose the right font for the text and any lettering you plan to add. Finally, sign and date your work so you know the moment it was created and can cherish it forever.
Bring Your Homie to Life!
Once you have taken these five steps to create a homie, it’s time to bring your drawing to life. Use your skills and imagination to create something unique and truly special. What started as a sketch can turn into a world of fascination with no boundaries. And the end result – a homie of your own!
