How to progress between two drawing classes?

Sometimes the wait until the next class is long.

So what do you do to practice and progress between two drawing classes?

There are numerous exercises to improve motor and brain abilities useful to the practice of drawing.

And visual memory plays an essential role.

Sometimes I draw landscapes or scenes that do not last more than a few minutes. I have to retain the scene in its most minute details in order to reproduce it later on paper.

For that, practice. Go out and draw the people on the street. That will make you sharpen your look, in addition to making your memory work.

Concentration and assiduity are also essential qualities for progress. It is necessary to be able to draw assiduously and put aside the small daily problems to concentrate on the drawing in front of us.

So draw whenever you can.

Take advantage of the good weather to go and draw the plants in a park or the passers-by on your street. Quick plotting can have many benefits. This is how cartoonists get practice and learn from their mistakes. In addition, by varying the techniques used, you will learn new ways of drawing. Many artists settle into what they already know because they are comfortable with charcoal or pastel. However, there are many materials and many other ways to draw.

If you have the opportunity, visit a museum and discover the variety of existing works. This will inspire you and give you an open mind towards new styles. Alone or with family, the museum is a good experience for everyone.

And why not make your own exhibition? The criticisms that arise in it will make you progress.
