Instead of your brain registering ‘tree’ we want it to see that particular tree, it’s specific shape, colour, branches and foliage. You’ll want your brain to basically take off the blinkers and switch into ‘receiver-mode’. If we noticed every little detail, texture or convergence line walking around the office it’d would completely overload our system.įor a painting session on the other hand you’ll want to perceive all of these things. The thing is, our brain processes information during our everyday life differently than when we’re making art. Secondly, it’ll give your brain some time to change gears, so to speak. Your linework will be much more secure after a few minutes of practice. Especially if you haven’t been sketching for a while.ĭoing some simple training exercises before you bring out the fancy paper and start to create your next masterpiece can make all the difference to your work, I promise.įirst of all it’ll warm up your body, specifically those parts you need for drawing, like your fingers, wrist, shoulder. Not warming up before a drawing session isn’t quite as dramatic, but it can still end in a lot of frustration and a waste of time and paper. Otherwise it leads to bad results and injuries. If you want to run a 10k or practice your splits, sure, you’ve got to warm up those muscles first.
I used to think warming up was just for athletes. Ever notice that your first sketch of the day is always a bit wonky? In drawing, painting, or any art, a proper warm-up is needed for the best results and improvement.
