    I usally use all methods of art, such as photography and pencil and so on
    but i would say just experiment and see what comes out.
    if your heading kind of along the pencil stage. Try using things like charcol and or maybe getting paint and mix it with dirt to get a rough surface.
    Like my art teacher said today "Think outside the fishbowl".
    Goodluck
    Peace and Love

    try pastels, since you like to draw.

    Yeah pastels are good. I just recently started using charcol and I dont think I ever want to use pencil again. Although it is a bit messy it is easier to smudge and it looks smoother on paper. Acrylics are good too. I like acrylics, oils are great too they are just harder to work with to me, but the outcome always looks amazing. You can also experiment with tissue paper. Like find a painting and duplicate it using tissue paper, thats always real fun, but if doing so use rubber cement instead of normal glue to paste it on.
