Prove your skills

      1. Go draw something. Repeat.

Practice leads to improvement. You won't get any better unless you engage in the attempt. The more you draw the more confident you'll become.

     

      2. Look at drawings.

Whether simple line drawings or meticulously detailed renderings, you can learn a lot from looking at the work of others.

     

     3. Draw from drawings.

This may sound strange, bu you can learn tons of things just by copying Da

Vinci or Michelangelo sketch.

     

     4. Draw from photographs.

For most people, it's easier to reproduce an image that's already two-dimensional than reproduce an actual object, person or environment. When you're working from photos, look at edges, shapes and angles.

     

     5. Draw from life.

If you're just starting out, pick simple objects and work your

way up to complex ones. Try yourself at drawing people and

our pets.

     

     6. Take a class.

A class will keep you accountable. A teacher will correct your weaknesses. Watching others draw is immensely beneficial for building your own observational skills.

     

     7. Keep a sketchbook.

Meaning, keep it with you, open it up and work at filling it. It will

serve as a reminder to grab your pencil or pen ad do some drawing.

     

     8. Be intentional.

This is the hardest thing, because if you want to improve at anything, you must decide to do it. You need to make a commitment and even schedule regular time in your week r your day to pursue drawing. In order to become better at it you need to make a habit of it.
