Drawing


From the first scribbles of a child to the sophisticated rendering of an adult, the most common measure of artistic talent is drawing. The capability of recreating objects in the visible world accurately with a pencil is quite an amazing skill. The nineteenth-century draftsman, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, told the young artist Edgar Degas “Draw lines, lots of lines, and you will become a good artist.”
Drawing is important for just about every artist. Whether a painter, sculptor, printmaker, designer or architect, every artist draws. I often plan my work in the beginning by making some sketches, But I also use drawing to copy other artist’s work and study forms in nature. Drawing can be a finished picture by itself. I have a passion to draw, I regularly draw, I practice drawing just for the fact that it keeps my hand- eye coordination more acute. I try to draw with integrity; I attempt to make courage in every mark, virtue in each stroke and strength in form.
