How to Draw Anything, Yes, you really can! Many people think that learning to draw is difficult if not impossible. In fact, it need not be. If would-be artists treated the subject as fun and went about it in the right way, it could be possible for nearly everyone, like learning to drive. At first it may seem hard, but it isn’t if the basic instruction is correct. Once you have discovered how to draw landscapes, animals, people, cartoons and all the other things in this book, you should have no problem at all managing with any subject.
Expect mistakes
When tackling any new skill it is common sense to expect and accept that lots of mistakes will be made. It’s part of the learning process. It is not unusual for students with no previous experience of draughtsmanship suddenly to discover that they can put down accurately what they see. It requires just three things for this to happen :
1. The ability to look properly
2. Self-confidence
3. The capacity to remember and carry out basic instructions.
You have the touch
I have not mentioned skill with pencil, pen or brush. The reason is because all who can write their names, already have sufficient touch and control to make a multitude of complex shapes – called the English alphabet. There are no harder lines, in nature, to record.
A semi-illiterate navvy with scarred, calloused, insensitive hands and a tendency to drink too many pints might start off at a disadvantage. But there are talented handicapped artists with no fingers who can draw; some use their feet, or mouths.
Think positive
Folks who learn quickly are often those who have enthusiasm for their subject and self-confidence. The way we think is vitally important to the way we operate. Many of us are brain-washed from childhood into thinking negatively about some things. We have all heard others say, for example, “I can’t draw a straight line.” When this is thought or said it becomes a command to the human computer, the sub-conscious mind, which then obeys the instruction by programming the individual to this end. “I can‘t” is then a barrier for as long as it is thought.
Think negatively and you will be programmed to do exactly what you have thought. You will never be able to control a pencil or pen well enough to put down the lines you see. You won’t be able to observe shapes accurately, or define texture, and, of course, it will be your own fault.
