Forms & Shape
E
very form in nature can be broken down into forms and shapes. Complex forms and figures can be simplified to help begin construction of basic proportions. Everything around us can be broken down into three basic shapes; the cube, the sphere, and the
cylinder. Objects like cars can be simplified to just a rectangle. Then build on that rectangle with cylinders for the wheels. Various objects can be simplified with some practice. Remember that everything can be consturcted when looking for the shapes that resemble what you want to draw. Just keep building on it.

sing pictures or things around as a reference for what to draw is always an option. Drawing everything from the mind shouldn’t be used for everything. Eventually there will come a time when constructing
something will seem impossible without actually knowing how that object works. An example can be that you may not know how to draw the back muscles of a person if you don’t know what it looks like under the skin. Never be ashamed to use refrences. Nature is the ultimate tool for reference. So many imaginative things can be made from nature that the possibilities are almost endless. Anything that is drawn or ever will be drawn can be related to the world around us.

For fun
D
rawing for fun has it’s perks. It is the fruit of your labor. When you get to let loose and put down whatever you want, it can be fun to see what you end up putting down on the page. There are several other ways to make drawing more fun as well. Speedpainting is a way to challenge yourself with a time limit and see how far you get within that limit. It makes good practice in the long run too. Another thing to play around with is to draw a random shape and add on to it and see where it goes. With your own creativity, you have the power to create
anything. Drawing can even be relaxing and take your mind of things. The concentration it takes to plan and constuct the composition of something really will take your mind off of something else.

Practice
A
nyone can draw, if you can hold a pencil and write, then you can also draw. The only difference between people is skill level and experience. When seeing the artwork of a professional, just remember that there was a time when they could only make circles. You can get better over time with practice, but to go that path is a never ending journey. It will never end, even seasoned artist are constantly evolving their style and challenging themselves. When seeing videos of people creating something spectacular withing minutes, that is because they have that skill built over several years and their mind is thinking about the actions to create what they want. The only way to get to that level is to start drawing yourself, it may take a while but you will get there. many people look back at what they did when they started and laugh at what they used to draw.
