Can you learn to draw?

Hey you!
Today I would like to talk to you about something that I have been asked a lot by people. "Can anyone learn to draw?" – I have been faced with this question many times.

One other question, that I get asked often is whether any age is too old to learn art. But, we will talk about that at another time.
A debate that was not even funny
Once when I was watching Family Feud, one of the answers for "an ability you are born with", included drawing. This made me think a lot. There are people who actually believe that drawing is a talent that one is born with.
I disagree wholeheartedly to this notion. In fact, I've even had pretty heated debates with friends about this. I strongly believe that anyone can learn art. There are defined steps that can help you get there.

Talent Vs Learning
I learned art, pretty late into my life. I was around 17 or 18 years old, when I enrolled at the Arts Center. People tell me that I always had the knack for art, because I was into video games and graphic novels.
But, I don't believe this to be true. If you look at the childhood drawings of the professional artists around you, you will see that they aren't that great either. In fact, when I saw the drawings I made, when I first started out, seemed as if I was drawing with my feet!
In fact, they were so bad, that I actually threw them all out. Looking back, I wish I hadn't done that. Then I could have shown you guys the difference between my drawing from then and now.
A technical skill
Anyway, getting back to the point. Drawing is like any other technical skill. You need to learn how to get better. It's surprising how people dismiss their ability to draw, thinking they are not born with that talent.
But, ask any professional artist, and they will tell you that, at some point in their lives, they decided to learn to draw. Many artists, including Hollywood celebrities, have gone on record stating that having rules and guidelines limit your scope to learn. This is absolutely not true!
I think that having rules, can actually help you grow as an artist. It gives you the guidance you need to develop your skills. I have never seen a child drawing and thought, "Wow, that is absolutely life-like!"
Developed over the years
Learning to draw, is a skill that needs years of observation, and understanding the rules of proportion and perspective. You can have a better eye for the details, but anyone can learn how to draw, with the right set of rules and guidelines.
What do you think? Tell me your thoughts on the topic, and what you think about my doodle, in the comments section of the video. There is also a surprise announcement for my followers! Check it out, now! . Don't forget our artist pencil case
So when I need to think fast, I keep my pencils strapped to my sketchbook using the arm-adillo. So check out the draw artist bag.

Why You Need to Use Pen

Pencil Case Tool

When I started drawing, I would treasure every drawing. I would like to see everything I drew as extremely important. This can be good, but at the same time you can put too much pressure on you to produce something every time. This means that sometimes can be a good thing, but at the same time can also be very depressing. Something that bothers me would be if I filled a large part of my sketchbook and pencil drawing lots spread a little small, due to pages pushing against each other. It was inevitable that the pages do that.So I started using the pen. I started using the pen specifically to solve the problem spots. It was not until after I was using the pen for a while that the other benefits became apparent. On the one hand, drawing in pen really made me sharper mentally. As I was drawing something that I control the weight of punches much better because it was not able to erase.

By doing this, but also he taught my brain that everything left was important. So I was much more careful with what promises and what did not. This resulted in my other means. By the time I started working in painting, I noticed a hand care.

I've seen a lot of reluctance to do so. I have a friend who refuses to work with the pen because it is extremely afraid of the results you will get. So if this is you, I urge you to overcome it. Here are some things you can do. You do not have to use your notebook main drawing. You could get a stack of printing paper and start to go through that. Another thing you could do is get a special sketchbook to separate pen drawing. If quarantine the pen drawing on a specific book, which will relieve pressure. Another thing you can do is create a "sketchbook garbage" which is what I do. Buy a sketchbook specifically to get all my warm-ups off the road. Basically it is a notebook in which nothing matters in it. That helps me get into the spirit of drawing and helps me to my new knowledge to the surface of the fingertips.Sketch in pen will be all about leaving your comfort zone. If you are an artist who is almost rare for you to leave your comfort zone to grow and learn. You will not get anywhere doing business as usual. You do not want to spin your wheels years only to realize that I wasted so much time on the same as ever. So really, it's time to break the chains of fear and try something new that is when you grow and progress as an artist. Do not be afraid of the unknown, because sometimes, the unknown is good, as it gives you the urge to achieve greater and in the process, discover a new world of reality than ever thought possible. Remember this simple fact: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"

So when i need to use pens, I keep them strapped to my armadillo pencil case bag. Its a bag that is constantly being used. Its an artist case thats really pushing the limit. Check it out at: http://arm-adillo.com/blog-pencil-bag-pen.html

When you are making progress on anything in any medium will naturally phase where it gets stuck in learning. When I started I was improving at a very steady and fast pace. The day I hit my first major plateau was a big disappointment for me. I did not know how to react and almost paralyzed all my career for some time. Eva thigh had teachers around me who told me what was going on, I still could not help feeling that maybe never would. Plateau that lasted for almost a year. Honestly, I could have gotten over that plague much faster if you knew what I knew now. So let me go about it.

1) Take breaks - I never gave a single prolonged interruption when he was practicing first. Some people argue that that's what you should do when you start to learn a skill. Put in enough mileage so that it becomes a habit. That may be great, but take periodic breaks every few hours can give space to breathe and digest to look at what you are doing. Programmed pauses that allows you to reset your brain and recover. If you are in the gym and work a muscle every day, it is not given time to grow and recover muscles much stronger. Do not keep banging your head against a metal wall, because it will not yield positive results but will leave scars. Look at the brain just sometimes need to be allowed to stop thinking, therefore, the recommendation for breaks. It could be in the form of a walk, a movie, spending time with loved ones or just sitting in the park, but whatever you choose, remember to take breaks.

2) Understand that are like elsewhere Everybody used to see certain students accelerate very quickly in class and become a great success early in his career. I used to see people as if they were something different than I do. It was an excuse he had created in my mind if I failed. I needed to understand that they were the same as me, and there was no excuse for failure. Once I realized if a person could do something, then I knew I was capable of doing so. So stop limiting yourself; in fact, if you really want to succeed as an artist, then you need to think of the impossible and dream bigger than you. You never feel that you can not achieve a particular thing; Remember, you are the architect of your life and there is no excuse for failure.

3) Have Fun - This was the hardest part for me. I do everything routine task. No matter what I've done in my life I have become work and you felt like work. This was something that was very difficult for me and still overcome times. Remember why you started to draw. It was about creating things out of my mind and leisurely fun with it. I started to take my ego into the equation and it was drawing to have a good result and not the drawing for the sake of drawing itself.

Well, you have to learn to enjoy art; that is, when you will be able to put more life into what will draw and you will be satisfied. So no matter how hectic your schedule might be, learn to just have fun with art and play a little because it reduces stress and opens the mind to new possibilities.

How to Be the Best Artist

Invader Zim Realistic Form

We all have different styles and different backgrounds to draw and paint. Some people are self-taught, some are trained somewhere. There are many differences, but there are many more similarities in my opinion. There is a basic level of learning that have the most professional artists. And there are ways to go about determining what will push along. That's one reason why I always recommend having a teacher or mentor, only someone from outside of himself that could help with advice on what you are too close to see.



1) Identify your weaknesses - This is something that will be obvious if you are a beginner. It might be a little difficult if you are a beginner. Again a teacher comes in handy for this. Think about what you draw the least. 2) Guidance weaknesses and train - Get all videos or tutorials you can and digest. And grab some scrap paper or a sketchbook not take care and repeatedly until you have a good idea of ​​how to draw from his mind. Learning the structure of something is the most important part of memorize. 3) Program - Something worn on the head when working on something new, I just feel like I could be finishing another project. However, programming can really do what you never feel anxious or strange in the drawing something that normally does not. 4) keep practicing -. Needless to say that 'practice makes perfect "and if you really want to improve in the art, then it has to be a habit Make it a part of you almost like a second skin so that the first thing on your mind when you wake up is the art and the last thing on your mind before falling asleep is art. you will discover that it will be easier with time and even yourself be surprised by the rapid progress you're making.
