Instead, the grid makes it a lot easier to see just shapes and lines. When you look at the drawing square by square, you prevent your brain from going “ Horse! Let’s symbol draw!“. It breaks it up in small manageable chunks, exactly what we want as a beginner. So how did it go? Do you feel like you are better at seeing shapes objectively? 3. But it looks like the horse in the picture, right? If you look at my example for a long time, you’ll see spots where I’m off a bit or my line is not rounded enough and more details like that. If you experiment and you don’t like the result, you can always draw it again! And if you do like the result, you’re one step closer to creating your own drawing style. Experiment if you like, you’ll make thousands of drawings over your life time. STEP 5: for the last step, you can clean up your lines and add in details. How far up does the line go? How curved is it? STEP 4:The most difficult shapes are those that flow through some empty space, like the halter of the horse. For a difficult shape, you can first lightly sketch it or use a dotted line before committing to the final line.Įvery part of the horse is just an abstract shape that we’re expressing with a line. STEP 3: Just like the ear, we keep analyzing the shapes between different marks of the grid.

Is this familiar to you? It’s like creating your own connect-the-dots drawing! How far from the edges of the grid is it? Breaking it down into nothing but dots and lines, we’ve now drawn the ear! We can also add in an extra dot to estimate the tip of the ear. Inside the square, what does the shape look like between the marks that you made? Is it a curve or a straight line? Does it go down first or does it go up? STEP 2: Now we have bunch of dots, we can look at the shape between them. Make as many or as little as you want – when we continue drawing, you can always add more marks. To help you estimate the correct location, ask yourself questions like “Is it halfway or less than halfway of the line?” We look at the place where the horse shape crosses the line of the grid and try to estimate that location on the grid on our paper. STEP 1: First we look at intersections between the big shapes of the horse and the grid. The other pictures are at the end of this post under “Day 1” 🙂Ĭhoose one that you like, print it out and start sketching! You can follow along with me, or choose a different picture if you don’t like horses. It’s like taking little bites instead of cramming the whole cake in your mouth. While drawing, you tackle square by square. What does this do? Instead of having to abstract the whole horse’s head, you can now focus on just the shapes within one square. The paper we will draw on gets the same grid. So we take the picture we want to draw and place a grid over it like this: But like learning to run, you first have to go through the phases of crawling and walking. If you read part 1 of Your First Week of Drawing (you can find it here), then you know that we want to see the world as a combination of shapes and angles. Let me know if the page loads slowly, then I’ll move the extra pictures to an album on Imgur ^_^ 1. I uploaded a lot of pictures for this post.
