There are many ways to teach yourself to draw, using books, internet... There are various apps for your smartphone that will teach you how to draw step-by-step. You just have to have genuine willingness and confidence, that you will quickly see tat you can draw some amazing things.

Simple Steps to get started with Process of Learning How to Draw

1. To begin with your drawing, you have to warm up a bit. Start by drawing dots, circles, squares etc. Just doodle a little bit, so your hand warms up and your strokes become more smooth. The most amazing thing when choosing drawing as your hobby is that you can draw anything you want! But that can be a minus too... With this much selection, many artists experience lack of ideas and imagination. In that case, we recommend just looking around yourself or thinking of what's important to you. And the idea will appear in no time.

2. Once you start drawing, your major concern should be to draw less. You can ignore minute details in the starting phase. Just focus on illustrating a rough sketch of what you imagined finished work will look like.

3. Once you'v started your drawing, we recoomend you not to do it all at once. Try to take your time and improve it day by day. You will quickly see that is the best to take it slow and easy.

4. Remember to be positive! There will be days when you'll feel that draiwng just isn't the right hobby for you- just DON'T GIVE UP! Do not be tempted to judge your drawings at the very start and think they're bad. This practice is generally not good. In order to accomplish an amazing piece of art, you should think positively and remind yourself that you can complete it in the most beautiful way.

5. When drawing, be sure that you're using the right pencils (we'll write about that). And it's also very important that they're sharpened properly! What is the most expensive pencil that isn't properly sharpened?

6. Always remember the quote that Practice makes a man perfect. So, never give up practicing for one day, you will find yourself sketching great drawings, if you implement regular practice.

 Now start your drawing journey with confidence and will! Just remember that if you can't achieve something the first or second time, you'll achieve it third time!

Importance of Art and Creativity

 

We are all creative in one way or another. Some people are tend to show it on the outside, others might keep it hidden. All kids for sure enjoy drawing and making art. But as they're growing up, they often lose their passion for drawing and creating something beautiful because other things become more important.

All kids have a lot of imagination and drawing ideas. They see an inspiration in even the smallest and unimportant things. They could, for example spot the fly in their bedroom and will immediately try to draw it. If they will not be pleased with the result, they will try and try again. And when they are finished and happy with their product, they will proudly display it to their parents and family.

And that's how it should be forward, when they/we grow up and become an adult. We should be proud of what we drew, even if its not the best. Adults often have a lack of imagination and cconsequently lack of inspiration. 

No one is asking you to pick up a pencil and draw a masterpiece that people from all of the world will admire. But you just have to start somewhere, and believe that you can do it. If you don't have an inspiration, lay in bed and start thinking of what is beautiful for you. That could be nature, flowers, your kids or your wife... Something that is important to you. And that's the beginning of drawing process.

Than, to warm up, just start to scribble on a blank piece of paper that you will throw away after finished. Practice drawing round circles, lines, dots... For example, draw a circle and start shadowing it with different kinds of pencils and on different sides. You will quickly see what looks the best. 

And than, the real process begins. Try to start just with brief sketch. Draw the main lines, than go and draw the details. The last step in your drawing process is shadowing and making corrections to your drawing. 

 

If ordinary sketching just isn't for you or is too hard for you because you're only a beginner, you can try to draw observing different step-by-step drawing tutorials or try one of the many drawing apps you'll find on Google Play store. First, you can try to sketch on your smartphone or tablet, and when you get some experience, try yourself in traditional drawing by hand.
