You don't even need any 'artistic talents'! I'm serious. All you need
is some interest. Sketching or drawing is about observation, about
dismantling what you are looking at, into lines, curves that make it up,
& then translating or recording them on paper.
That's
how most things work right? A Mozart Classical piece? it starts with a
single note. Cantonese cooking? All you need is a step by step recipe
& a wok!
Sketching or drawing works the same way. Everything you want to sketch is made up of lines &
curves.
And you don't even need a perfect straight line or a perfect circle or
curves. You don't need to learn to draw lines & curves, any more
than you need a lesson on how to boil water or put on your clothes
right? It's a combination of those parts (lines & curves) that makes
the idea of sketching a little challenging yet most satisfying. Just a
little challenging, definitely doable no matter who you are. All you
need is to change your thinking. Art is not about perfection, we are not
drawing up a blue print for a building, we are not trying to be an
architect or engineer.
If you look at children's art,
you'll see what I mean. Most of them are just so endearing &
charming right? Get what I mean?
