Illustrator Yashwant Bisht believes that the key to creating an illustration is to start observing the things around you. "Remember everything around you is your teacher and you need to master each challenge," he advises adding that Adobe Illustrator and other softwares can be used on your device but you should begin with a hand-drawn sketch. Fellow artist and illustrator Mitali Sheth feels that one doesn't need fancy paints or pens to doodle. "Any form and technique that helps you represent your idea best should be your starting point. Doodling shouldn't be rigid."
