1 Warm up + practice hand-eye coordination
It‘s always a good idea to get warmed up a bit and get comfortable with your tools, and a warm up is also a great way to loosen your drawing muscles and bring your thoughts to the page. By playing with different mark-making techniques, you‘ll see what you can do with your pen.
So grab your pencil or pen and make different marks. Line work can be incredibly varied. Make scribbles, doodle around, create dots, stipples, hatching, zig zag lines – explore the range of your drawing tool. Also try varying pressure. Have fun with this – it‘s important to keep your practice enjoyable and playful, otherwise you will stop.

2 Start with basic shapes + light lines
After our warm up, let’s start properly with drawing. Let‘s look at what is the basis for all drawing skills. Essentially, you can break down everything you want to draw into basic shapes. Basic shapes are circles (we already practiced those), rectangles and triangles. If you can draw these basic shapes, and I’m pretty sure you can do this, you can essentially draw anything. It’s much easier to draw a circle with a line attached, and refine that, than to attempt to understand a complex flower in a split second.

| How to Start Draw part 2 |
All the previous skills were based on seeing the values in reality or photos, and copying them or the lines between them. To draw form, however, means to simulate reality in your imagination and to draw the lines separate from any values you see. It sounds hard, and it is hard—and yet this is one of the first things people try to do when they want to learn how to draw.
