Learn How To Draw By Looking More Carefully
Can it be true when someone says that they can't draw?
The fact is that people draw every day... they just don't know they are drawing.
The function of drawing is to make marks onto paper or another surface. These marks will show ideas and information. Communication with these marks is usually done with writing or pictures.
"If you can write... you can draw"
Writing a message uses the same skills as drawing.
When you are writing you don't have to think about what you are doing...
* You are forming lines
* You are drawing circles
* You are creating curves
Writing comes naturally to you. Because you were taught to write at school the skills of writing become instinctive.
When you are drawing you use the same skills as when you are writing...
* You can use a series of lines to draw a house
* You use a combination of curves to draw a face
If you take time and are willing to put in the effort, you can learn to draw... there is nothing to stop you improving your drawing skills.
Here's a challenge... Take a pen or pencil and draw a cat or a dog. If you aren't used to drawing the result will disappoint you. Your drawing might not look anything like a cat or a dog.
Because you already think that you can't draw there is no surprise.
However, it could surprise you to learn that many artists would struggle to get an exact likeness.
When you learn to draw, the real challenge is to improve your observation skills.
By looking more carefully at the dog and cat you see more. Look closely at the head...
* See the shape of the head
* See how the ears are placed on top
* See the eyes
* Look at the nose
Soon you will have a strong and clear picture in your mind...
"Now, go and try to draw your cat or dog again and see the sudden improvement in your drawing
