You could do one exercise a day, all in one session or, ideally keep doing one of the exercises each day. This is a 10 page guide for you to do as and how you fancy - all in one go, with others that are around you or that you are in touch with, or on your own. There are a range of exercises to have a go at, all with the aim of making a mark on the page and starting the process of drawing without getting caught up on worrying about the end product. My hope for this is that it encourages you to find a pencil and have a go. This is something that can be done at home, just using the materials you can find around the house (see the video below for the sorts of things you could use to draw on and with). Many of the exercises remain the same however. just without me and without materials that I provide for that. Your problem: you feel you can only draw things other people have already created. Draw lightlythis way, your little mistakes won't be visible. This guide has been created based on my in person workshop. Draw circles made of short lines instead of long, ever-bending ones. I strongly believe that the most important thing is just to start, not to worry and put off beginning until you have fancy paper or paints. I have put this guide together in response to this. No, I won’t just leave you with a set a wonderful exercises, I’ll give you the connection points between what you’re practicing, and how it applies.I have received many lovely comments in the past asking for some guidelines or pointers of how to begin drawing. Lastly, I’ll show you HOW they apply to drawing what you actually want to draw. So below, I’m going to show you how to do each of these exercises, and then I’ll give you variants for how to make them harder once you master the early forms. When it becomes too easy (the point where you can do it without looking or thinking, hold a vigorous conversation, etc…) then it’s time to amplify the difficulty level. Beginners have to start somewhere, so dont be upset, just use the stupid to. There are hundreds of ways to play just ONE of them.Įach time you consciously and deliberately play the scale, you’re building neural connections that will foster greater ability. Practice drawing lines of different lengths, thicknesses, and textures. Have you ever watched a musician play a scale? Here’s the rub - they’ve all got varying levels of difficulty too,
Now, why are these my favorite drawing exercises for beginners?īecause it’s most of what you need packed into 5 exercises. THESE SIMPLE EXERCISES ARE AMONG THE BEST ONE CAN PRACTICE AS AN ARTIST.īelow, I’ll get into why, but first, let’s list these bad boys out:
