Practicing and Simon

I enjoy drawing, or at least my form of drawing, which usual involves a lot of squiggles and shapes. Okay, I don't draw, I doodle, but I've always wanted to learn to draw.

I'm not planning on being a professional artist; however, I would like to be able to sketch what I see in my head sometimes. I think it would help me visualize and be a better writer. So I went to Google to try and find the best way to learn to do this. The census was to start with the basics.

Blah! Why can't I just be an awesome artist instantaneously? I suppose I could if I just used tracing paper and someone's art work.

But, no, I want to create my own stuff and there's only one way to do it. Start with the basics.

I found this video on YouTube; it's the most helpful instructional video I've come across. Others are good but, the filming here is clean and clear and his directions are easy to understand.

Guess I better get practicing.



Every time I think of drawing it turns into drawerings and if you don't know what I'm talking about than you haven't seen some of the classic SNL. Enjoy.
