To draw, start by warming up your hand and eye coordination with simple marks and shapes like lines, circles, and ellipses. Then, break down what you want to draw into basic shapes (circles, rectangles, triangles) using light lines as a rough underdrawing. After that, refine your shapes by observing the object carefully, checking angles and edges, and adding solid lines and volume. Finally, practice by doing lots of quick, loose sketches to develop fluidity and control in your drawing. Here are simple steps to follow:
- Warm up by making various marks and shapes to loosen your hand.
- Sketch basic shapes lightly to outline your subject.
- Refine your sketch by observing details and correcting proportions.
- Add solid outlines, shadows, and texture for volume.
- Practice quick sketches regularly for improvement.
This method helps anyone learn to draw by focusing on observation, basic forms, and gradual refinement rather than needing special talent.
