DRAW 5 SEC DRAWIT SERIES

The first step is to create a daily drawing journal that will document your drawing progress over the next few weeks and months.Īt the end of this post I’ll link to bonus exercises that will help finesse your drawing skills as The Daily Drawing Project progresses. Just 10 minutes a day is all that’s needed – Let’s get started! By following the suggestions in this project, you’re allowed to draw what you see without worrying about imperfections. A bit like opening a bookmarked novel that you haven’t finished reading.Īs such, this project does not get bogged down in technical ‘how to draw’ steps. I want you to get back to where you last left off when you were twelve. This project is not your usual learn to draw guide, and I have a very good reason for this.

DRAW 5 SEC DRAWIT SERIES

Introducing The Daily Drawing Project – a series of exercises that will help hot-wire you into becoming an habitual illustrator. It comes as little surprise that people give up on their harmless doodling at such a young age, and eventually forget that they ever had an artistic streak.ĭear reader, let me just say, whether drawing is a career goal or a relaxing pastime there’s no reason to have ever stopped.Īnd I have two very good reasons for you to start again: Hearing people say ‘why bother’ or ‘you’re never going to make money from it’ are common themes young teenagers will hear when they are seen doodling between classes. It is common that the work we create in childhood, receiving high praise, is then cast off as unnecessary and frivolous by well-intentioned loved ones, as we stumble toward adulthood. Some people are super wired to their creativity, and some need help getting hot-wired to get it going. It is true that the creative pathways in the brain will vary between individuals. In response I would ask, ‘When was the last time you drew something?’ The answer is often something like, ‘When I was twelve’.

‘I can’t draw’, or ‘I wish I could draw’, are statements that I’ve heard often enough when the subject of art comes up in conversation.
