Improve Your Observation Skills To Learn How To Draw Better
Michael Dale
Is it true when a person says that they can't draw?
In reality, most people draw each and every day.
Drawing is like writing. The function of each is to communicate ideas and information. Both drawing and writing is nothing more than the process of making marks onto a surface like paper.
"If you can write... you can draw"
The same skills are used in writing and 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
It is easy for you to write. Writing comes naturally to you. You were taught to write from an early age. The skills come easily to you.
When you draw exactly the same skills are being used...
* You can use a series of lines to draw a house
* You use a combination of curves to draw a face
This means that you can learn to draw. The only thing stopping you is that it will take your time and effort to develop your drawing skills.
Take a pen or pencil and challenge yourself to draw a cat or a dog. Don't be too concerned if the result isn't too good. Your drawing could appear very different from what you would expect.
Because you already think that you can't draw there is no surprise.
But, you may be surprised to learn that a large number of artists would find it difficult to get a true likeness.
The biggest challenge when you learn to draw is to sharpen your powers of observation.
Take a closer look at a cat and dog. Look at the head...
* See the shape of the head
* See how the ears are placed on top
* See the eyes
* Look at the nose
In seconds you discover a better understanding. The picture in your mind will be strong and crystal clear...
"Now, you will see a sudden improvement when you draw the next dog or cat picture"
