Drawing from Observation
Drawing from Observation
Drawing from observation means drawing what you see. Every time you draw from observation, it is like doing art exercise. You strengthen your brain, eyes, and hand all together to improve your drawing skills! It can be challenging, but the more you practice the better you get. Stuffed animals, toys, natural objects, or household items are great for drawing practice. You can even try drawing them from different points of view: front, back, top, side, bottom! photo credit: M.C. Gillis' AwesomeArt.com

Drawing 3D Forms
Drawing 3D forms like cylinders, cubes, cones, spheres and rectangular prisms is a great way to practice drawing skills. If you are good at drawing shapes and forms, you can draw anything: for example, draw a sphere and cone together to show an ice cream cone.
