Want to improve your drawing skills, but don’t know how? Here are a few things to get you started.

  1. The first step to improving your drawing skills to fill your head with ideas. I highly recommend doing a Google search on terms like “line drawings”, “Charcoal drawings”, “line art”. This will help you find images that you can study. I also recommend using Firefox to do your searches as there are many plugins available for image searching. One that I use is called PicLens, you can get it at http://www.piclens.com/site/firefox/win/
  2. Duplicate the Masters. When trying to learn to draw, why reinvent the wheel? Look online or go to your local art store or library and look up a few Master Artists, Monet, Manet, Degas, Rembrant, or DiVinci. Study their line drawing and see the quality of the lines. Particularly look at how their lines were crafted. You will notice; thick, thin, soft, hard and other variations of line. Try to duplicate these lines and notice they are rarely consistent throughout a drawing. The more variation, the more realism will emerge from your work.
