Learning To Draw

The key to learning to draw is using our eyes. The basic tools is a piece of paper and a pencil. That's all I need. As children, I liked to riffled through some interesting pictures like rivers, buildings, designing of wedding gowns, designers' clothing and lots more but there's no way I could master the arts of drawing.

Like drawing a face. For all I know, a face is round, with a pair of eyes, a nose and a smiley mouth. To get it started, I was very wrong. Face isn't round afterall ... eyes are not oval in shaped and etc. It sounds easy to get it started but I think my drawing is really awful. I think a 3 year old kids will be able to draw much better than I do. Worst than amatuer, I supposed.

Don't believe! See it yourself.

Actual vs Awful Sketches from Fiona



Sorry honey, mummy's drawing is bad. But I will try to practice to make it near perfection.
This was my first sketch before I scrapped it. Then decided to post it on my dreamy bloggie.
Well ... at least I got the nerves to upload. Whoever happens to read my bloggie, coach me how to draw. At least the basic step, contour drawing!
My next agenda to the bookshop is to get books on learning to draw. In fact, went to mph (retail bookstore) during lunch time. Wanted to get some books about sketches and too bad, this lousy bookstore do not have any books related to drawings or arts.
Sigh ... that means I need to hunt again. For sure, it's going to be my agenda to the bookstore.
