Speed drawing

Why should we practice this speed drawing teaches you to look for only the essential structure of what you are drawing.as a beginner you are tempted to capture everything that you see in a drawing a more experienced artist will only capture what is needed to create emotion and tell the story. Too much information is confusing remember that the eye and brain moves through your drawing looking for exciting line tone shape and texture too much info and the eye and brain becomes very bored resulting in a very boring drawing.

Let’s get started with shoes pick your favorite shoe and draw it time yourself until you believe that the drawing is completed now try and do the drawing in half the time once you have finished half the time again until you van complete the drawing in less than 15 seconds keep all of your drawings and study the differences the 5 second version should be the better drawing pure emotional line or tone.

I never spend more than three hours on a drawing no matter how complicated the drawing may be

My version of shoes which I have posted took one and a half hours to complete again I have supplied you with a Van Goch reference of shoes note the emotional content in his work it is not by accident that he produced such incredible work have fun and keep at it.
