What Role Does Observation Play in Improving Your Sketching?

Observation is really important for getting better at drawing, but it can be tough. Here’s why:

  • Seeing Shapes: A lot of artists have a hard time seeing shapes, sizes, and how things are positioned. This can be really frustrating.

  • Missing Small Details: Sometimes, artists miss tiny features and textures. This can make their drawings look flat or boring.

  • How to Improve: To get better, try practicing special observation methods. For example, you can do blind contour drawing, where you draw without looking at the paper. Using tools to measure can also help.

    If you keep looking at and discussing your sketches, you can improve even more!
