Learning to draw can seem like a big undertaking without knowing what to focus on. Here are some drawing tips I have found to be very helpful. At the end of my post I have listed some great resources as well.
TIPS
- Focus and look mostly at the subject you are drawing. (This gets you to draw what you see instead of what you know)
- Only glance at your paper.
- Seek out shapes.
- Train yourself to really look at what you're drawing instead of drawing what you know.
- Step away and look at your drawing in a mirror or take a picture. *****This tip is the one that helps me the most. I can see my errors when I look with different "eyes".
- Join monthly drawing challenges like this one hosted by Johanna Fritz. You could also join the #the100dayproject hosted by Elle Luna and make drawing your project.
Here is a link to some of my favorite supplies and resources.
