1 Draw a LOT, anD yOu’LL geT beTTer anD fasTer!
Basically, this is the key to all of this stuff. Art is about mileage because it’s largely
about muscle memory and naturalising concepts. It should be done every day, for
multiple hours. It takes discipline, but it’s worth it! If you want to get better faster, draw
more and draw smarter. And always have new sketchbooks in reserve. I buy three to
five at a time so that I’m never caught without a new one when I finish my current
book. And not only must we sketch more often, we also must do more drawings...sharpen up your
drawing skills
daniel landerman thinks sketches are the beginnings of incredible
things, and reveals what you can do to achieve such beginnings!
There’s a lot that goes
into even a tiny sketch.
A plethora of artistic
decisions to consider:
composition, gesture,
line quality and mark making, and
rhythm and expression. All of which
we need to learn to work into our
muscle memory as we use a range of
tools, all of which work fairly
differently from one another.I do sketches for a living. Yes, a
professional sketch artist is a thing!
Look no further than the advertising
world. I sketch on paper and on the
computer to help design posters and
key art for film, T V and video games.
So I’d like to think I have a bit of
insight into this mysterious world of
sketching and drawing.
Those who follow me on
Instagram know I love to sketch inmy free time, too. I have a few
principles that have helped me get to
where I am and have ensured that I’ll
keep getting better at what I do, and
I’m hoping to pass some of that
knowledge onto others. Namely you!
Be you novice or ninja, there should
be something for everybody. From
basic physicality to more subtle
expressions, we need to consider it
all! We’ll be stronger artists for it.Artist insight
