I'm trying to learn the basics of how to draw. Can you give me some tips?

1. Start by practicing basic shapes, such as circles, squares, triangles, and polygons, and learn how to use different types of lines to draw them.
2. When ready, practice sketching more organic shapes, such as leaves, plants, and people.
3. Gather plenty of reference material and practice copying what you see in those images.
4. Learn the fundamentals of perspective, lighting, and shading to give depth and texture to your drawings.
5. Use an eraser to fix any mistakes you make and don't be afraid to try out different techniques.
6. Finally, keep practicing and don't be afraid to experiment as you go along.
