Improve Your Observation Skills To Learn How To Draw Better

When somebody says they can't draw... Is it true?

In reality, most people draw each and every day.

The basic function of drawing is to make marks onto a surface to communicate ideas and information. Making marks is usually done with pictures and writing.

"If you are capable of writing... you are equally capable of drawing"

Drawing pictures uses the same skills as writing a message.

When you write you don't think about what it is 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.

The same skills are used for drawing that you use when you write...

* 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 real challenge when you draw is to sharpen your observation skills.

As you look more closely at the cat and dog you will see more. Take a close 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, draw your dog or cat once more and you will see a vast improvement"
