Line quality is very important. Here’s how to make your drawings look more professional. This is a re-edited video from before.
A quick beginner’s guide to drawing
The basic craft of drawing is about two things: you learn to control your hand and to see.
Tip: For the following 6 exercises I suggest you stick with one pen and one particular type of paper (for instance A5).
Dexterity — two workouts
The first two exercises are about controlling your hand. We want to build muscles and train our hand-eye-coordination. Mechanical exercises like these are great for beginners. Later on you might use them to explore new pens or get started when you don’t know what to draw yet.
They are also terrific ways to relax your mind.
Exercise 1: Circles — more is more!
Distribute circles of various sizes on a piece of paper until the paper is filled. Make sure the circles do not overlap.
Drawing circles is not as easy as you might think. Notice how the circles become harder, the bigger you make them? Try them in both directions — and make lots of them.
Tip: Shake your hand when it starts cramping! This is a workout for our hands after all.

Why you should Practice Drawing
Why you should practice drawing
It seems obvious that you need to practice scales when you learn the piano, so you need to practice “scales” when you learn to draw. By practicing and repeating patterns and drawing strokes that you find difficult, you will build up muscle memory, just like riding a bike. If you can draw things without thinking about them, it leaves working memory free in your brain for the important parts of the drawing. Remember – Practice! Practice! Practice!
