How to Draw Anything

Rate this book
Remember how you used to draw with confidence and joy as a child?




This book will help you harness that natural skill, and along the way you will discover how drawing will give your thoughts clarity, trigger memories, invigorate passions and find solutions.



As children, when we learn to write, we gain an important life a practical means of communicating that we end up using almost every day of our lives, if only to jot down a shopping list or dash out an email. As children, we also know instinctively that drawing is a great way to communicate, but later in life it isn't universally valued and nurtured in the way that writing is. It's not seen as a necessity, it's seen as a specialism.

As a result, most of us stop drawing completely, apart from the odd doodling. More than that, we lose all confidence in our ability to draw. Yet drawing is an incredibly practical way of turning what's inside your head into something tangible and useful. It can equip you with new means of solving problems, sharing ideas and telling stories.

How to Draw Anything sets out to repair our broken relationship with drawing. It will inspire you to pick up that pencil from where you left it all those years ago and start making pictures again. It will give you back the confidence and joy in drawing you never should have lost. And it will take drawing out of the art world and put it into your world, introducing you to drawing as a practical tool for everyday life that will change the way you work, think and communicate.



Do something amazing and learn a new skill thanks to the Little Ways to Live a Big Life books!

stop being precious about the drawing, produce continuously and without fear of messing up the page and eventually you will produce an image that communicates to your intended audience.

HOW TO DRAW ANYTHING ..

هو كتاب يحاول أن يعيد الثقة ما بينك وبين الرسم .. ويعطبك الأدوات اللازمة لتبدأ من جديد .. يمنحك الكتاب الأساليب البسيطة لكي ترسم .. بداية من استخدام الحروف الأبجدية ..
وإليك بعض النقاط أو النصائح ..

_ أنت بحاجة إلى استعادة ثقتك والتركيز، والعودة إلى هواية الرسم ..
_ الرسم ، هو المعنى العملي للتواصل ..
_ ليس كل رسم يحتاج إلى أن يكون مؤطر ومعلق على الحائط ..
_ الرسم هو شيء لابد أن تبذل جهدك فيه ..
_ العمل البسيط الذي يحتوي على قصة أو حقيقة .. أفضل من العمل الضخم المليء بالإضافات .. لكنها تفتقر للمعنى ..
_ القول القديم "الصورة تقول ألف كلمة" غالبا ما يكون صحيحا ..
_ إذا لم تقتنع في عملك ، لا أحد آخر سوف يقتنع به ..
_ إذا لم تتمكن من العثور على ما تود رسمه، يمكنك دائما العثور على المراجع في الكتب ..
_ لكل شخص نسخته الخاصة أي أسلوبه الخاص في الرسم ..
_ كن مثل مخرج الأفلام .. عندما يختار الصورة أو المشهد الذي يود التركيز عليه .. ومن ثم يؤطره ..
_ كل شيء يعتمد على الثقة بمعنى ما تريد التواصل به ، وما هو مهم بالنسبة لك، ثم تجريد كل ما ليس مهم ..
_ لا ينبغي أن يكون هناك شيء على الصفحة لا تخدم المفهوم الذي تريد نقله.
_ الرسم "هي الوسيلة كي تظهر الجانب الآخر الغير مرئي للآخرين " ..
_ في حال التأمل ، واستغلال كل جزء من الثانية تستطيع أن تلاحظ بدقة وسرعة لتكتشف أدق التفاصيل ..
_ التصور أو التخيل هو المفتاحوالدليل للبدء ..
_ أنت بحاجة فقط إلى البدء ..

Nicely written with helpful tips and illustrations. Simple, cute and encouraging. Hasn't yet made me proud of my exquisite drawing skills, but then, I also slacked off the advice of practicing. I do see a future in which this little booklet could still be helpful.

What a gem of a book. It's a combination of clear writing, encouraging thoughts, and easy to understand exercises. One of the most practical and helpful books I've seen on drawing and on any how-to subject. Thanks to everyone who worked on this!
