There are many fascinating things in drawing. If you take an empty piece of paper in front of you it is totally up to you what you can create in that paper, and I think that is one of the best thing in drawing. You can draw whatever you want, and only the sky is limit. To be honest, even the sky is not a limit. Your mind can wander even higher than the sky all the way to the unkown and only your imagination can be a barrier for that.
When looking that paper you can inside in your mind first sketch the scene or the thing you want to draw. If you want to be professinal drawer there are many things you have to think while making the drawing such as the overall scene in that picture, where is the light source and are there more than one, what is the perspective, and if you are making the cartoon you might think what exact moment you want to capture from that scene, what is the ultimate point in that scene that points out the most important information for the viewer that you want to tell them in that point.
Sometimes it might be distressing to think all of those things as I have sometimes felt, but fear not my son, when (notice the word "when") you learn to be better you automatically start to think those questions and answer them almost imperceptibly in your subconscious.
Like in any other thing you learn to do it by actually doing it. The same thing applies to drawing as well. If you draw a lot, you will learn to draw and the more you draw the more your drawing skills develope. For example in just a one year I dramatically leveled up my drawing skills. Good tip is to always put a day, month and year somewhere in your drawing so you can later on easily watch how much you have progressed. It is very rewarding to see it.
I'm myself self-taught drawer, and you can really get amazed how much you can learn by watching youtube video tutorials of drawing and talking to the professional drawers from all around the world and ask them questions via internet. If you want to learn to draw, just grab a pen and start practising. Go to the internet to seek information, because it's all there if you just now how to find it.
Nice topic! I agree with you. I like drawing but I am not the best drawer in the world...:D. Drawing is one way to breath. You can create what you ever want! When I draw my mind is free and I can forgot real life. I can be part of my imagination for a while. Drawing is very good way to express myself. Enjoy your ability to draw! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! How deep thoughts. :) I agree with you and I have same kinds of thoughts about drawing. I think that drawing is an excellent way to express yourself just like many other things but drawing can be the most imaginative and the most personal way of self-expression. I have seen some of your drawings and I'm very impressed - they're art ( at least better art than modern art ).
ReplyDeleteDrawing is very relaxing and I know how important subject this are for you! I am not very good at drawing but sometimes it is good way to think your own thoughts and forget other things.
