Tips on How to Draw Faster
Drawing is so enjoyable that it is easy to forget time. However, does it take you hours to
complete one simple drawing?
It takes you hours, not because you are enjoying the whole process, but because you are
struggling to complete a drawing?
There are artists who can draw at lightning speed and have the very good results. The
key to their ability is practice. As the first tip, try giving yourself a time limit and draw as
much as you can.
Do not concern yourself much with the details since the main goal is to produce as much
as you can.
While you are out waiting, try to drawing objects and people moving around. Sketching,
with basic shapes, helps you fill in the details later.
Remember that in drawing fast, you are not trying to replicate everything, but you are
trying to make something that resembles the object you are trying to draw.
Once you got the basic shapes, you can easily put the details when you have more time.
Practice everyday and increase your capacity. For example, in the first week, you may
just be able to draw basic shapes in 30 seconds.
In the second week, try to force yourself to add more details within 30 seconds. If you
want to make a detailed and precise drawing, then it is best to take your time with it.
At first, everything will look worse than a child's drawing but overtime, you will learn to
pace yourself and improve your technique.
