_20180531_044012.JPGAnyone can draw. With a little bit of
practice, you could even learn how to draw
like a master! Even if you plan on
drawing cartoon-style, learning these basics
will help your drawings stand out from the
rest.

  1. Draw what you see. Start with
    simple objects (like the classic
    bowl of fruit) or common objects and
    progress to more complicated subjects
    — an intricately shaped table, for
    instance, or people's faces . The better
    you get at drawing real-life objects , the
    better you'll eventually be at putting
    ideas on paper.
  • For example, let's say you get an
    idea for a comic book character .
    You can imagine every detail —
    the expression on their face, the
    emotion in their eyes, the pose
    that represents who this character
    is — but if you haven't been
    practicing with faces , eyes, and
    poses, you'll have a hard time
    drawing this character on paper in
    a way that matches with the image
    you have in your head.
  • Instead of going big or elaborate
    in the beginning, focus on the
    small and simple. Take a bowl of
    fruit, or a house, or a mountain
    range, and practice replicating
    these objects with just a pencil.
    Draw different versions of the
    same thing. If you're drawing a
    mountain range, for example, do a
    little evaluation of your first
    drawing. Figure out what's right
    and what's wrong, or have a
    friend tell you which parts of the
    mountain look unnatural or need
    improvement. Once you have a list
    of the things you can improve on,
    draw the mountain range again.
    This time, improve on the parts
    you didn't draw well the first
    time. If you want after a few
    weeks and your drawing skills
    improve, draw the same picture
    again. See how much you've
    improved!
  • Think of yourself as a chef. When
    a chef learns a new recipe, he
    often spends days or weeks only
    cooking that recipe. It makes for
    pretty boring eating, but he's able
    to perfect his dish by the end of
    the week. Don't get discouraged
    when your dish doesn't come out
    perfectly right away. It takes a
    while to get things right.
  1. Draw as often as you can. The
    more you practice, the better you'll
    get. Even when you're concentrating on
    something else but your hands are free
    (being on the phone is the perfect
    opportunity to doodle) take a piece of
    paper and a pencil and start drawing
    basic shapes.
  • Practice with basic, elemental
    shapes in the beginning. These
    basic shapes will form the basis of
    many harder shapes as you
    continue drawing. Mastering them
    will make your journey going
    forward more meaningful and
    productive.
  • Draw circles , squares, triangles ,
    rectangles, etc. Challenge yourself
    progressively by making these
    shapes as perfect as possible. Then
    challenge yourself some more by
    drawing variations of a shape:
    different sizes of circles and
    squares, different kinds of
    rectangles and triangles.
  • With enough repetition (and
    crumpled sheets in the recycling
    bin), you should reach a point
    where you could comfortably draw
    most shapes. To heighten this
    basic skill, draw curves and curls
    as well. Try doing springs and
    spirals and various loops, curlicues
    and garlands, paying attention to
    the consistency of your curves.
