Learning to See - A Tutorial

Learning to See - A Tutorial | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

“Have you ever seen someone sketch out a pose and think, “Wow, they are so fast and accurate!” People who pick this up naturally or artists who are well-trained are able to discern ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ so quickly that it becomes almost automatic – they no longer have to consciously think about it while they draw. However, for most artists it is essential to learn the basics to improve their skills. Learning how to see in new ways can dramatically improve your art.”

Mikael Lugnegard Traditional Sketch rendering

Mikael Lugnegard Traditional Sketch rendering | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it
In my opinion, to communicate ideas, you need to master a few different skills. One of these is to draw, with pen and paper. This is a fundamental skill you need to master. REALLY. Consider one of the following scenarios. You're in a client meeting, and you need to sketch down an idea to show your client what you're thinking. The sketch you looks like something a 5-year old has done. This doesn't evoke trust, the most important thing in a business relationship. You get my point. Imagine how satisfying is would be to nail that fast and dynamic sketch in front of your client with only a ballpoint pen!!!
Interesting Content's insight:
