So one of the most important thing within art is practice, practice, practice.
A good place to start is simply drawing lines and circles. initially this can seem boring but after doing it for a while and going back to regular drawing you will find you have more control over your pen/pencil and in general make you more confident but...This post isn't about lines and circles
Figure drawing
(insert random google image here)
A typical session starts with 5 to 10 minutes of quick 30 second sketching of the most basic human form, very loose and messy, most people when doing this feel like they aren't doing it correctly but in fact you are losing up your arm and training your eyes to absorb information quickly and efficiently in turn preparing you for longer more detailed studies to follow
I have a few tips that I have learned
- Start with the pelvis, torso and spine, the pelvis is about half the size of the torso.
-If you don't have a second monitor use paper.
-It may seem scary but use an ink pen, push through mistakes/fix them/make them work.
-Fill entire sheets, be aware of size and spacing of the figures.
-If you fail to finish drawing the figure in the allotted time no sweat keep going with the new image.
The following websites are great tools to learn to draw the human form and various subjects that I have used in the past and will most certainly use in the future and I hope you can find them helpful if you are wanting to learn to draw.
