How to draw? (sounds pathetic, i know)?

Question

I'm not really creative, and a bad drawer...all i can draw is stick people and a horse's head. is there any way i can learn to draw people and just draw things pretty well? i know that being artistic ur mostly born with (i think) but if any one has any websites with instructions or anything please help!!!

Answer 1

if you have the motivation it's all about practice. the only reason i can draw at all today is because my dad started encouraging my sister and I to draw when we were very small. i started learning to draw before i could write!

but there are great books out there that can give you an introduction into drawing

Answer 2

Anyone can draw. All you need to know is this; Take your time. If you take your time, I mean reeeaaallllyyy take your time, you can draw anything. I've spent over 20 hours on the same drawing on just a piece of computer paper.

Drawing is just a series of lines, and depth of light and darkness. There are exercises you can do. practice drawing a straight line, then one with a slight left curve, then gradually more curved until you draw a circle. Then do the same thing with a right curve. You can do the same thing with light and darkness. Make a 1 inch circle and make it all the exact same shade. Then make one a little lighter, and one a little darker. By the time your done you'll have circles all over the page one almost so light you can't see it, and one so dark it looks black, and many somewhere in between.

The biggest "trick" is when you first start drawing whatever it is your drawing make it very, very light. That way you can erase it without a trace of any mistakes. Eventually (hours and hours) it will look exactly like you want it. That's when you start going back over it and making everything darker. Enjoy! Drawing will change the way you look at the world. Eventually, everything you see will just be a series of lines, light, and dark.

O.K. You have a desire to draw/paint, that is a good start, being interested enough to post this question tells a lot.I started by buying second handed correspondence courses in art and practicing until I was drawing to suit myself. Whenever you can draw as well as you really want to you have arrived no matter what other people say or think! Satisfy yourself first and don,t let anyone discourage you!

Answer 5

I read about a man who couldn't draw even a stick horse.
He got a picture out of a book of drawings and copied it over and over. He continued to draw this one picture, until he was satisfied with how it looked. Then he went on to the next one.
I'd start out doodling first. It is kinda like writing in cursive --you make those o's over and over, and ww's and ss's.
If you work on it a little every day, you'll get better, just like my typing.

Answer 6

Look for "How to draw" books, draw everyday, make it a daily thing, carry a small pad of paper where ever you go, & as time goes by you'll get better. (my favorite place to draw is when going to coffee, (one of the things I do is practice my "comic" faces & draw the servers face. -it can make an additional good tip if they like it) but anyways, good luck.

Answer 7

You have to practice to become good. I find that if you use google and search for how to draw tutorials or how to draw then ask whatever you want to learn how to draw.

Answer 8

Try wannalearn.com - and while being born with a knack for something does help, it's not essential! The more you work on your art, the better you'll get and the more you'll be able to do.

Answer 9

Learning is always possible, things about objects as differents shapes connecting
