Topic: How to Draw Anything Even if you Think You Can’t

First of all, I’d like everyone to ask themselves if they can draw. You
think you can’t? Well, not for long! “Every child is an artist. The problem is
how to remain an artist once we grow up.” These wise words came from
Pablo Picasso, one of the most well-known artists in the world, implying that
everyone is an artist, but they simply don’t have enough belief that they are.
Right now, you might think you can't. Today, I will discuss how to draw
anything, even if you think you can’t; how to go from drawing a stickman to
making a sketch of your crush and your favorite animal. We can break it
down into steps like drawing basic shapes, adjusting proportions, and
refining by adding details. Most important of all, remind everyone that
practice is always the key. imply don’t have enough belief that they are.
Right now, you might think you can't. Today, I will discuss how to draw
anything, even if you think you can’t; how to go from drawing a stickman to
making a sketch of your crush and your favorite animal. We can break it
down into steps like drawing basic shapes, adjusting proportions, and
refining by adding details. Most important of all, remind everyone that
practice is always the key.

To begin with, when drawing something or someone, we tend to get


overwhelmed; we try to make every detail perfect without thinking about the
basic shapes present in our reference. One of the first steps that will greatly
help to improve drawing is to observe the subject. Understand each feature,
and then we can break it down to basic shapes and patterns. An example of
this is when drawing a face. We might get so caught up on the details first
that we overlook the guides and patterns hidden that will put all other
elements in place later on. By doing that, we now have a clear idea of where
to put the other elements of the drawing.

Moreover, after sketching out the rough shapes, we can now move on
to proportions. It is simply understanding the relationship of each element to
the other. We can do this by making rough measurements and comparisons,
dividing it into parts, and using reference points to improve the accuracy of
the drawing. Another thing to keep in mind is that we don’t need to strictly
follow the proportions; what we need is to understand them so we can make
a more composed drawing. Caricature, for example, doesn’t necessarily
follow the proportions but still gives a clear idea of the subject. So don’t be
afraid of getting creative and playing around with proportions.

Finally, after all that, we can start thinking of adding details to refine
our work. This part is the most satisfying, adding shadows, textures, and
finishing touches to the drawing. Shadows are the absence of light, meaning
we must first understand where the light is coming from to know where there
will be shadows. On top of that, we should also consider the texture, or
creating the impression of smoothness and roughness in the drawing. It can
be achieved using many techniques, like hatching, stippling, scribbling, and
blending. Only then can we add the finishing touches, like a strand of hair or
erasing a bit to add highlights to make the drawing pop even more.
Sometimes the biggest change comes from the smallest details. We don’t
need to add a lot, but adding it in the right place will make all the difference.

Altogether, drawing isn’t really something to be overwhelmed by if we


think of simplifying it, like using basic shapes, understanding proportions,
and learning how to add the details. By applying these, you can now draw
anything you like—your favorite artist, scenery, pet, or someone you love. If
you still think you can’t draw, then the only thing limiting you is the belief
you can’t. The best way to learn is to practice and have fun doing it. Art is all
about expression, so never forget to let your childlike imagination run wild
