Blog #2: Drawing

Many people think taking an art class is boring. They only think this because they are afraid that they don't know how to draw. From experience, it just takes practice. 

I am going to give a few steps to better your drawing skills and confidence!


1. Know What You're Drawing
Make sure you've decided on what you are going to draw. Decide, then find a picture of it on Google Images. Look at the picture and study it. Look at the shape of the object and the lines. 

2. Begin The Drawing
Start to draw the object, but really look at what you're drawing. You might erase a lot but that is okay. it will not look exactly like the picture from Google at first. 

3. Practice
People do not really know this, but it just takes practice. If you repeat drawing the same thing over and over again, you will get good at it. In the process you'll realize that, that is not the only thing you can draw. Draw as much as you can. 

4. Take Breaks
Make sure if you're getting frustrated while drawing because one thing is not coming out right that you take a break from it. Because if you're pushing yourself to draw this one part of the picture it will not help you at all. 

5. Get Help
If you still can't get a drawing to get the way you want it to look like, search up the steps to draw that object. You can either find the steps on Google or YouTube.  This is not considered cheating, drawing can be overwhelming. Especially if you practice the same thing over again. Searching the steps to draw an object can show you what part of the object you're not able to draw. In the future you'll know how to draw that part without redoing and redoing or searching it up. 



I've made these steps up from my personal experience. If they don't fully work for you here is a video on it to hopefully explain more. 


Here are examples of practicing overtime
