Art tips,  So u wanna draw

So you wanna draw: 2-Draw anything in front of you

January 28, 2012 /

If you follow the first drawing exercise, that means you are very interested in improving your drawing skill. Drawing exercise can also increase your creativity because it uses both your left and right brain. Skill can be improved if you really have the passion in doing it. Forget about those who were born creative, as far as I know they also learn how to draw from scratch. Nobody can draw at the age of 1 day. ;P

This tutorial is quite easy because you draw from what you see. I’ll cover the imaginative part after I finish with this one. I think I will have about maybe 20 to 25 entries before I reach to that part.

So are you ready for the second drawing exercise? Ok get your tools ready.

Now look in front of you. What do you see? A wall? haha, don’t la stare at the wall. Go to your working/writing-table. As for me, I spend most of my time here. I see my laptop, I see the mouse, I see the brushes/pencils, I see wall also, I see wall hook, I see my memo board with magnets, I see books, I see many things. My table is not that organise. Unkempt is the word. So many things on my table. But two things I wanna draw are the mouse and a mug (treated as pencil stand) that holds my brushes, ruler, pen and pencil.

Now start drawing. If you only have wall in front of you, draw the above. I use mechanical pencil first and use pen later. I use calligraphy pen for the notes. Don’t you love using calligraphy pen? It brings out the best in your writing.

Do you have a blog? If you do, post what you draw on your blog and let me know the link. I’ll link to this page. I am excited to see what you draw.

So do you really want to see my table?

I told you it’s unkempt.
