How to learn Drawing in 7 Days?

The Goal of this Article Series

The Goal is to help you create a Drawing Routine.

We want you to Enjoy Drawing enough to draw 12-24 Pictures a day.

We want you to Experiment with Subjects you may not enjoy initially.

We have a Bias in writing this Course : as People we want to Draw & look at People.

Therefore, we'd like you to enjoy drawing Settings, Environments & Items while following these Articles.

This Series is meant as a Storytelling Guide.

It's not only about Drawing, it's about Worldbuilding & Character Creation.

Routine & Numbers

We'll propose you 2 Daily Routines.

The Balanced Routine :

• 6 Faces
• 6 Bodies
• 6 Creatures
• 6 Settings
• 6 Landmarks
• 6 Items

And the Character emphasis Routine :

• 6 Faces
• 6 Expressions
• 6 Bodies
• 6 Poses
• 6 Settings
• 6 Items

Then Publish these Drawings & Ask for Feedback.

This leads you to 36 Drawings a on a daily basis.

In the Beginning of the Process you may not be able to do this.

Try 1 of these 3 Options :

• Draw at least 1 of each Subjects.
• Draw at least 2 of your 3 Favorite Subjects.
• Draw at least 3 of the Subject you're most at ease with, and of the Subject you're least at ease with.

Your weekly target is between 84 - 168 Drawings.

If you have some more Time

If you have some more time you can draw 1 Comic Strip or Animate a 3" clip.

Once you know how to draw Character's Poses & Expressions and Settings you can start a Comic Strip.

We'll publish articles on Comics later.

For now, the formula of a Comic Strip is :

1. Draw the Setting by establishing a Focal Point.
2. Draw at least 2 Characters.
3. Display their Interaction through Poses & Expressions (no words).

Same goes for Animation.

If you know how to draw the Rotation & Movement of a Character you can Animate.

The formula is the same as for the Comics, only it's moving.

The Final form of this Guide

We want to create an easy to follow Drawing Guide.

The Objective is to allow you to Draw decent Compositions in 30 days.

This Guide would include :

1. Shape & Symbolism
2. Heads, Faces & Expressions
3. Body types, Poses & Gesture
4. Items, Architecture & Technical Drawing
5. Composition & Landscape

Eventually Drawing Compositions will allow you to Draw Comics & Animated shorts.

Which can allow you to make Movies.
