Improve Your Observation Skills To Learn How To Draw Better

Can it be true when someone says that they can't draw?

The truth is that people draw every day without realizing.

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

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 becomes an instinctive act because you were taught from an early age. Because you have been writing for so long it becomes natural.

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.

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.

The surprise might be to learn that many artists would also fail 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

Very soon you will see a clearer picture in your mind...

"Now, draw your dog or cat once more and you will see a vast improvement"
