- It is beneficial if you can find at least 5 minutes a day to draw.
- The very best time for many people is when they wake of a morning.
- Before going to bed at night look over, or add,to the list of techniques and styles you would like to accomplish.
- Visually scan the subject matter you would like to draw and then “Sleep On It.” For example take a glass of water and place a pencil in it. Look at it carefully; look at phenomena such as refraction. Look at the colours and decide what materials you will use to draw it with.
- Have these materials ready beside the bed. When you wake take your materials find a comfortable place and draw gently for five minutes.
- This way of learning to draw can become a habit. We call this the habit of creativity. By drawing in your journal everyday, you are developing the habit of creativity.
- Even though the drawings are simple as time goes by you will have developed a repertoire and a visual source book. “When the time comes to design a long term drawing, a painting or sculpture you will have a wealth of ideas available and you will have developed your skills so that drawing up your design is just a matter of applying what you have learned.
