The Problem With Starting A Drawing
The moment you start drawing, you mess up and you erase. Then you try again, only to mess up again and erase. Doing this a few more times and you give up.
Why can't you draw well?!
If this sounds like you, I can tell you right away, your whole mindset is wrong. You may have seen someone online start with an eyeball or start in a corner of a page with a marker and draw something incredible, but people like that are outliers.
They don't draw like most professionals do.
Drawing Like A Master
You, me and many of the great masters have to "build" to a beautiful final drawing. You do this by sketching. Sketching is everything.
It's the foundation of all the drawing you will do everytime you draw.
Sketching tells you:
- How much space on your paper you'll take up.
- Where to start drawing.
- What you'll be drawing.
- Where you're headed with your drawing.
- What outside information, if any, you will need to finish your drawing.
It's the foundational blueprint of anything you want to draw. It's perhaps the most important step in a drawing.
