How do u get good at drawing?

practice, practice, practice
How do u get good at drawing?
try to draw EVERYTHING. (basically, what she said...practice practice practice.) That's all you'd do in art school. They set up still lifes (bottles, chairs, fabric, vegetables) and make you draw it. Experiment with materials--charcoal, pencil, watercolor, ink...go wild. The nice thing about doing it on your own is that you can do ANYTHING without worrying about how it looks to anyone else for a while.

Practice is the key. Try noticing things that are really subtle around you; that helps you figure out details. Pay attention to the proportion of things, as if something isn't proportionate, it'll look wonky.
Reply:Draw what you see, never copy what other people have done, and more than anything, practice, practice, practice! And don't give up just because your drawings aren't perfect; they won't be until you've been drawing for forty-two years.


Try taking classes, if you can. It's not something you really have to do to become skilled at drawing, but you learn alot and it's lots of fun being around other people who draw.
Reply:Practice? what a simple answer indeed. But it is not rightly correct. what are you suppose to practice with? the basics? stick figures? so anyhow I'll assume you want to know where to begin, so here it is. Look at art work or an artist that you have a great fondness of and work from there.





Reading and learning techniques from art masters are best. Don't waste time thinking to reinvent the wheel. theres millions of artists out there and thus have done all the experimenting for you. Its ok to draw or paint similar to others, its ok even to mutate that style once you have enough confidence.





example: if you like bob ross you can grab all his brushes, paints and videos and work how he did. learning and growing from there making it your own one day. you dont have to be 40 to be good, i've seen 17 year olds that are fantastic





Do not trace though in any form.
