Here's a perfect cliché!
How many times have I heard it! My mom, my friends or anyone who saw a famous artwork or my creation.
The great thing is that it's fake, very false!
Drawing is a technique and there are in fact schools that teach it, both analog (freehand) and digital. Why should there be art or design schools if it was impossible to learn to draw?
Of course, you can be brought more than others even have talent, but without discipline and school nothing improvises.
Do not believe those who tell you that it is self-taught, or rather believe it if it draws badly, because the basics of drawing derive from mathematics and geometry that are among the most accurate sciences and do not transirate.
It's the artist who does it like Picasso with Cubism, Modigliani with his swan necks, Mondrian who saw rainig men with hat and umbrella or Van Gogh that turned a vase of sunflowers into a whirlwind of colors and emotions.
The basics of the design, from which all ancient and modern artists began, are linked proportions (or sometimes disproportionalities) of the body, face/snout or still life.
They are made of lines that weathe geometries and come together to form shapes that then become eyes, noses, faces, busts and bodies.
The basics of drawing apply to all kinds of figurative art and also to sculpture, even to the architecture of the time, but even today proportions make beauty.
Beauty is philosophy, something unique to every person, something natural and that makes us smile and enchant even when we see defects, distortions or when we recognize in an abstract art a feeling or a figure because we tune on and with it.
Learning to draw can be done: it takes time, commitment, despondirment and relief, pain and ecstasy, but it takes the right tools both mental and physical.
One of my three Services also offers three-month drawing lessons for 1/2 times a week, it has a really affordable cost and the program is exciting especially because we will decide it together! and above all it is open to everyone, it does not matter age but the desire to learn and get involved.
What do you think?
Are you good at drawing? If you want to share your work it would be nice to comment them together, you always learn from each other, this is the real trick!
