As the Drawing Academy’s tutor, I am often asked, “What is the best way to learn how to draw?”

Many art students have erroneous ideas and excuses that prevent them from learning to draw. Such excuses include:

• I’m too old or young to start learning drawing.
• I’m not naturally talented enough to succeed at drawing.
• It is very difficult to learn to draw.
• I tried it once, and it didn’t work.
• I was told that drawing is not for me.

So, let’s begin by busting those erroneous beliefs and then discuss the best ways to succeed…

Video Lesson by Vladimir London

As one of the Drawing Academy’s tutors, I receive questions from art students who admit that they can’t draw.

Despite attending contemporary art colleges or being self-taught, they cannot make high-quality, realistic drawings from their imagination or from life. Many artists have to resort to copying from photos, using projectors, or tracing an image to reproduce it.

The many questions asked of me can be summarized in one phrase:

“Help! I can’t draw; how can I improve?”

So, how do you develop your drawing skills so you can draw whatever you want?

If this question resonates with you, then I hope this presentation will be helpful…
