4 Easy Drawing Techniques To INSTANTLY Improve Your Drawings
Did you catch my first draw with me after having Baby #4? If you missed it and would like to draw along, you can find that video here.
That was a difficult drawing for me! It might not have looked like it but it felt uncomfortable and the LEAVES almost did me in. So awkward.
But I’m excited to return to that drawing and give it a little refresh—I’ll show you some super easy drawing tricks that will bring the drawing from good to great. It’s really simple and something that I can do naturally as I’m drawing when I’m loose and fresh, but is difficult to incorporate when I’m rusty.
Even if you didn’t draw along yesterday, I encourage you to grab one of your recent drawings and give these simple techniques a try!
