Start Drawing

The discongruity between Craft and elementary picture is the fashion you panorama your subject. Start with a simple subject that's composed of basic shapes, such as a coffee table or a closet door. Working with shapes you're familiar with will help you focus on the lines.2. Break down your subject.



Break down the subject into very basic shapes and lines so you can make your drawing realistic. Once you master line work and proportion, you can move on to drawing more complicated subjects.

Instructions

1.


Rather than viewing the subject as a whole, concentrate on the individual lines and shapes that make up the subject. Draw each line separately.


3. Hold your pencil up in front of one eye and measure it against your subject. If you were drawing a door, you might notice that the top of the door takes up half the length of the pencil from where you sit. The height of the door would be about 1 1/2 pencil lengths. Use these findings to draw your subject proportionally.


4. Copy pictures to learn how other artists recorded their subjects. Turn a picture upside down and draw each line you see in it's proper place. This teaches your mind to view the lines in the art rather than the total work of art.


5. Fold a picture into four equal parts. Cover the parts you're not duplicating and draw each section individually on a separate sheet of paper.
