Just Draw

We all love drawing with pencils, but the big question is how do I draw better? And ironically the greatest question is the easiest to answer. Practice like mad! Drawing is action, you can think everyday not to draw because you suck at it. Or you can tell yourself "just draw" no matter the outcome. If it's just for you, nobody is going to judge you. It's all part of the learning curve. You may feel you are drawing like always but don't get discouraged by this. It is only your brain playing mind tricks on itself. Don't draw because you have to. It is not an obligation. Like all art is about expression. Once you've learned how to express yourself, and set you free, all you have to do is get better at technique, and again technique is all about practice. Don't forget about some theory too, you can just discover everything by practicing. But books and teachers surely shorten the learning curve. In special it includes topics such as composition and perspective, subjects that have compiled a lot of knowledge over the years. So now what? You may ask. If you like drawing just draw. Beat laziness, nobody's gonna do it for you and I can guarantee you'll enjoy it.
