My sister thinks she draws terribly, but I think she has a lot of potential. What do you guys think?

I'm hoping some feedback from others will motivate her to practice more.

I love the eagle wearing the hat. I like all of them, tbh. Just tell here to keep practicing! I'm sure she will be a great artist. Nobody just wakes up one morning with the ability to paint a masterpeice. It takes trial and error. Tell her to challenge herself and draw what ever makes her happy or inspired.

She does indeed have great potential ^^ If she's interested in art, she should check out Kienan Lafferty's tutorials on youtube. He livestreams tutorials and motivational speeches every tuesday and thursday I believe.

He's really helped me with my confidence as an artist and taught me quite a few things I had trouble getting my head around!

Also if she's drawing straight from a reference piece, I suggest she tries the grid technique to help position things a little better :) And always take breaks if she's struggling, like go get a cup of tea or a drink, come back and have a look at what the issue was. Holding her sketchbook up to a mirror also flips the image and helps when you're trying to see any issues.

Even if she looks at 5 minutes of tutorials or takes in a few tips - that's more knowledge that she had before and more that millions of other people out there might not know! So she should be proud with any minute she spends learning new stuff with art :3 Art is awesome!
