You are horrible bike. But everyone is out on their bikes and you are inside alone. It's a beautiful sunny day, and it does not take long before you decide to go out and do a test. You there, half riding, half pushing yourself along when all of a sudden your training wheels stuck in a rut. As you take yourself off, it I come, sailing as well as on my brilliant bike nice without training wheels. I roar past shout you, "LOOK, no hands!"
Well, you're not too happy. It should be easy to ride a bike, but you can not do again. You get out you of the rut and walk your bike back home. You never touch the thing again.
Drawing is similar to bike. Everyone can draw, but some people do not have the coordination to actually draw the way they want to. Some people try to use the "training wheels" and still seem to draw any they efforts.
Design should be easy. We see people, animals, and other objects all around us every day, then why can't we just draw. Or, if we can, why not be able to as good a job as someone else who has been drawing for years. They can even draw using "no hands"! Perhaps though not enough.
Design is not easy, because a bicycle is not easy. You know that to mount a bike, you need a certain amount of coordination and balance. And the only way of really and you will be better, by the practice.
It is to learn to draw. There are the wheels of the training, techniques and tips that can really make improve you at a much faster pace. But in practice is the only way and you will be better.
If I told you to draw a maple leaf, you would know how may points on it? It would probably have most of the people to say no. Although you probably know that it seems that in your mind, they may not say exactly how many points is. Why is this?
Our brain look at images all the time. However, if your brain is like mine, it does remember not all the details. This is why when developing a photo I must watch about 100 times.
Learn how to draw requires that you have a good memory. Over time, you learn about what something looks exactly like your head. You remember more details.
Back to the sample spreadsheet. If you had to draw a 100 times maple leaf in detail, I am sure, that you would know How to draw very well from your head at the time where you have reached 100. You know how many points are and how the veins branch. You know the ways of light strikes the roadmap and How to draw the shadows.
Once you have attracted something several times you will be able to more quickly and more precisely whenever. For example, I enjoy drawing faces. I shot eyes many times that I could draw one eye very precisely from memory. More I draw, it becomes easier and more I train my brain what to look at, more a drawing comes alive.
So, in conclusion, drawing is like a bicycle. With practice, it becomes much easier and even without noticing, you pay more attention to the details. In this way, if you never take something from memory, you would have a good idea of how it looks like already in your head.
Learn your way. Once you can draw faces, you can draw almost anything. Train your brain to look at how the light hits an object. Consider how the different points of view to modify how an object looks like. Look for ways in which you can improve your work.
After all, you wouldn't start learning how to bicycle without your hands, you?
