I’ve decided to expand last week’s post about finding things to draw<\/a> in a couple areas so that you’ll never have a excuse for not drawing. :)<\/p>\n

One of the easiest ways to find something to draw is to draw what’s right in front of you. This exercise gives your sense of perspective a hardy workout too, since the objects very close to you will be a lot larger than those farther away.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of scenes I’ve drawn that were right in front of me.<\/p>\n

\"Billy<\/a>
Billy And Closet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is my cat Billy lying on top of me, with blankets underneath him, and our closet with bifold doors in the background.<\/p>\n

It was drawn on an iPod with the Harmonious drawing app.<\/p>\n

It was very early in the morning and the lighting made everything look flat, so I added color to perk it up.<\/p>\n

Please notice that various parts of Billy’s face are drawn in odd positions. That’s because he kept moving his head and I just drew each part as it was at the moment.<\/p>\n

(I do a lot of drawing on the iPod when I can’t sleep, and I don’t care that much about correct placement or proportion when I’m sleepy. It’s kind of liberating.)<\/p>\n

\"Molly<\/a>
Molly at Night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And this drawing is my cat Molly beside me on the bed. It was drawn on my iPod with the same drawing app.<\/p>\n

This time there was a lot less light though. Low light drawings are particularly challenging, and are excellent opportunities to sharpen your observational skills, because you have to focus on what you can<\/strong> and can’t<\/strong> see.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Teepee Boot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And finally, here’s my foot wearing a teepee boot.<\/p>\n

It was evening when I drew this, instead of some strange hour of the night, so the lighting was normal for a change.<\/p>\n

This is another iPod drawing, but this time I used PaintMagic.<\/p>\n

Other right-in-front-of-you scenes might even include your sketchbook since you can see it too. And in the drawing of your sketchbook, you might draw another sketchbook and so on like a mirror reflecting your drawing into infinity. Or you can just stop at one reality if you’re short on time. :)<\/p>\n

The next post in the “what to draw” series will be about drawing from your imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
