To learn to draw, you need the right instruments. You can choose to learn with a pencil or a felt-tip pen, or even a stylus and tablet computer. The pencil’s advantage is that you can erase any mistakes. On the other hand, learning to draw with a pen helps build confidence. Whatever you choose, the learning process is the same. You also must use good-quality paper, especially if you draw with a pen. Once you have your drawing instrument and paper or tablet computer, you’re ready to learn. The first step is learning to draw basic shapes. Start with drawing straight lines of varying lengths without the help of a ruler. Try to keep the lines as straight as possible. This is particularly challenging because your wrist tends to move in an arc. Once you start drawing straight lines, keep practicing. In fact, practice every day.
