Can't Draw

Dorrie

I really struggle with drawing. I think it's the coordination and concentration it requires. My lines are always wiggly and either too big on one side or too small on the other. I find it frustrating and it's extremely tiring, usually I'm feeling sleepy before I finish drawing.

I own lots of pencils and colours but I can't really use them. I see a lot of cool drawings and watch artists on YouTube and I'm sad I can't draw like they do.

  • I would get a basic book on practical drawing. If you get a good one, it will give you simple ways to break down any object, person, face, animal or scene into basic geometrical shapes. You then assemble these shapes to create a sketch which is in proportion to what you see, following this framework sketch, you work around it to create a more detailed and accurate final drawing.
