If you want to recreate a photo or draw a picture with several different elements, gridlines can help you figure out where everything belongs. If you’re drawing from real life, pay close attention to the objects and the space around them.” “If you’re drawing from someone else’s drawing, focus on how they build their lines. “Really pay attention to how they’re drawn,” says Elliott. If you’re interested in spaceships or cartoon characters, draw those. If you’re interested in fruit, draw a still life of fruit in a bowl. When it doesn’t serve you anymore, start to break it.ĭrawing is fun if you’re excited about what you’re drawing.

To find reference images, you can start with a search of Adobe Stock. The more you learn about a subject, the better,” says artist Kevin Jay Stanton. The more examples you have, the better you’ll understand the form you want to draw. As you refine your lines, try to imagine how the figure would look from every angle. In order to create the appearance of depth, you have to break the subject down into circles, rectangles, and triangles, and then mold those as you might a block of clay. You’re drawing the other side as well,” says artist Lucas Elliott. “You’re not just drawing what you see in front of you.
To represent a three-dimensional subject in two dimensions, you have to think about the whole form. From pencil drawings of superheroes to digital studies of dandelions, from a Pokemon doodle in a sketchbook to a manga-style watercolor, the key principles of drawing remain the same: Pay close attention to shapes and how they relate to each other in space, take your time, and practice.
