I would say that kids that want to draw and become artists should practice. That’s really a big thing — practice, practice, practice. Every day, draw and try to become better at it. Draw things that you like, you know. That’s what kids do. I drew cartoons. I drew Spiderman and Mickey Mouse when I was a kid. Then, as my interests changed, so did the subjects that I was painting.
I would recommend that kids really practice, learn to draw, and imagine themselves becoming what they want to become. Say it out loud. I want to be this, I want to be that. And then set about the business of becoming that. Just like Maya Angelou said, “Say it out loud and set about the business of becoming who you are or who you want to be.”
