The Art Scribble

Many young artist will have recognizable troubles with the way there lines and shading appear. In other words, the shading may seem inconsistent, and the couture lines seem predictable and flat. Do not be discouraged if this is you! It will take time, but eventually you will be able to hide those weaknesses and turn them into strengths! I think that learning to art scribble will help develop control and make the harder things easier. I have put an exercise together to help. Practice this once a week, and you will see results throughout your drawings.

Practice Draw what you see

It is truly important to visual take the time to study your Subject! This may seem obvious, yet young artist seem to miss the obvious all too much! I will often look at objects through an artist eye. Meaning, I will try to see Light and Dark, shading, and basic shapes. If you practice this, you will be able to improve your observing skills. I found that I learned the most when I watched another artist work.

Shading on Basic Shapes

Now we will work with basic shapes. I often use shapes to this day to help me with the structure of a drawing. Utilizing shapes can help you get proportions correct.
Here are the basic shapes that I use.
Let's start off easy. we will use the Circle.

Draw What you See!

In this next exercise we need to learn to draw what we see, not what we think that we see. You will see below, two different drawings. The one on the left is without looking at the page, and drawing what I thought that I was seeing. The drawing on the right is an example of drawing what I was seeing not what I thought I was seeing.

Now you can try. Try to draw something in front of you without looking at the page first; then it while drawing what you are actually seeing.

Two point perspective

Now lets try a two point perspective...

How to draw from a one point perspective

Perspective is everything! Even in our lives in general; it is everything sometimes even past the truth. In one sense perspective is based on the artist. In other words, an artist can choose to break the rules; however, there are some universal truths about perspective that will help you drawings come to life. Lets try One Point Perspective and then two...
I hope that this helped...just post a question if you Have any.

blending

I was able to take some video of the latest drawing that I did. I thought it might be helpful to those were interested in seeing how I Draw skin. This involved outlining the subject and shading and blending.
