ABOUT US While your life story might share some similarities with mine, you may find definite commonalities that we share, especially if you have an appreciation for art! Now, you might be saying- Jon, how can you make such a generalized statement, just because we share an interest in art? Here's my story of how it all started and I hope this does not bore you too much! After the war, my parents had limited means and we were quite poor as with most families in Britain. There were no "luxuries" like art supplies which included drawing paper but I did manage to scrounge charcoal sticks once in awhile.So it started out with charcoal on newspaper—the only thing I could make marks on at the time.
Drawing Techniques There are many drawing techniques to learn. One of the first things we need to know is how to hold a pencil to be more effective at drawing . The correct way to Hold your pencil or marker, is between the Thumb and index finger supported by the middle finger. With chalk or pastels you would only use the thumb and middle finger. This may seem a little awkward at first but after a little practice you will soon see how easy this drawing technique becomes.

Koi Fish Drawings Koi fish drawings can be quite decorative in color and pattern which are identified by their shapes and scales. Here is a collection of koidrawings of varying shapes and sizes from short, squat, and downright ugly. Hey, but some of them are quite beautiful with their markings and color. Men who go for tattoos seem to like the dragon-faced Japanese koibecause they can look a bit ferocious as it validates a man's masculinity. The koi is a symbol for many things from the good things in life to things like "He's as slippery as a Koi" but most symbols are related to virtues that the Japanese honor. As a sidebar, the koi originated in China, not Japan. Koi Fish Drawing, ink on white paper

Drawings Drawing is a vast subject and takes years or even decades to get to grips with—that is if you have the ambition to become a master of this craft. Do you have a favorite artist you like and admire? Go back to his or her earliest works and come forward in time and notice the change as the work of art becomes more masterful. Even those artists like Vincent van Gogh who had a short life indeed—you'll notice the rapid changes in style and vigor. It does take a lot of skill to observe the form accurately and transpose those lines into a great work of art.

Elements of Drawings • The Dot Family: the difference here between the dot and the circle the dot is filled in with color whereas the circle is an outline only. A dot can be any size, very large or just a speck. • The Circle Family: this is the same shape and size of the dot. • The Straight Line Family: Don't think of the line as most do of being thin. A line can be thick, squat, or a series of straight line as in the example above. • The Curved Line: similar to the line family only it is bent or curved. See these curved lines as individual line - or as clumped lines. • The Angle Line Family: these are two straight lines joining together at some point. These angle lines are quite common you will notice in many drawings.
Sketches of Flowers Sketches of flowers drawn realistically has always been a favorite among famous and not-so-famous artists throughout history. Vincent van Gogh did not paint his "Sunflowers" realistically at all but they certainly had impact for originality.

Aztec Art Drawings were made to honor Aztec gods and battles, but also to tell mythical stories and to mark everyday happenings in the lives of these complex people. Draw the body as big and muscular as you like; you might even use a poster of your favorite wrestler or action star as a model! And all clothes for your subject should be bright and ornamental; think long, flowing robes, jewelry and headpieces, colored any way you like. Unlike other, more traditional types of art, exaggeration is encouraged in Aztec drawings.
Abstract Drawings Drawings can be an absolute ball of creativeness and more akin to doodling or even scribbling. If you are a beginner and drawing or painting, this is the place to start. Let's look at how nature can help us get our abstract ideas flowing: Here is an image of some trees but the image is upside down so you can't actually "see" it is a tree. In the second image, it has been put through a Photoshop poster filter which reduces all the values from about 10 to 4 – so you can only see 4 values (value meaning the lightness or darkness of a color or tone.)

If so, it must be a great sketch! You can see instantly if the pencil sketch has been drawn by an artist who knows line, value and texture and reveals an effortless approach to drawing. Many of the drawings below show this style and most drawings with a boldly stated line.

How To Draw My advice would be for a beginner to purchase a few quality pencils and a sketch pad. A ring bound sketchpad about 9 inches by 12 inches to keep all your drawings in one place and they will stay in chronological order (you’ll date each page). This way you can spot your progress over the weeks and months ahead. Get to know your pencils well, how they feel in your hand, the softness of the 2B to 6B and the HB which you will use a lot. You’ll need an HB for roughly drawing out your guidelines (which can be erased later) to the softer pencil and their characteristics. Please DO NOT use a pencil that has been sharpened down to an inch long. You can’t possibly get an nice curve or energetic line with a stubby pencil! See cartoon above for stubby pencil.
Easy How To Draw Art is an inward expression to translate feeling and emotions into color, texture and shapes. For many artists, this freedom of expression has a cathartic quality to spill out what has been bottled up inside them and translate those complicated emotions into a thing of beauty to look at. The essence of art is to communicate thoughts and ideas from life drawing reality to thought provoking abstracts. The eye of the artist is quick to pick up project topics to move and affect the viewing audience. Some pieces of art will make you laugh, cry or cause you to reflect inwardly on a social issue. Since there is no right or wrong when it comes to drawing, it's important to be yourself and let your imagination run wild.

Flower Sketches There is a large variety to choose from when drawing flower sketches and, if you follow along with these basics, you'll get good results. The easiest flower to draw will be any of the five petal flowers like the daisy or cosmos – there are hundreds of them to choose from. I have drawn a few simple illustrations on this page to show you an easy way to get an effective flower sketch. Notice that in most flowers (not all) that the petals emanate from a center point and that would be the stamen. At the base of the stamen you'll find the stem. You need to know this in order to draw it —you'll find it in all flowers.
Angel Drawings Angel drawings throughout the ages have evolved with artistic cultural changesand new vision as to the way we envision these creatures. Whether you believe they exist or not doesn't really matter, what does matter is that there are no genuine models for angels. The drawing of an angels usually takes a homogenous theme to indicate the image is indeed that of an angel, rather than a creature from Greek or Roman mythology. Long flowing hair, oversized majestic wings, tranquil faces and loose-fitting garments will get your point across in drawing angels. However, since there is no legitimate model to craft the image after, it doesn't hurt to take a few liberties when creating your own unique angel.
