2. While your life story might share some similarities with mine, you may find definite
commonalities that we share, especially if you have an appreciation for art! Now, you
might be saying- Jon, how can you make such a generalized statement, just because
we share an interest in art?
Here's my story of how it all started and I hope this does not bore you too
much! After the war, my parents had limited means and we were quite poor as with
most families in Britain.
There were no "luxuries" like art supplies which included drawing paper but I
did manage to scrounge charcoal sticks once in awhile.So it started out with
charcoal on newspaper—the only thing I could make marks on at the time.

3. Drawing Techniques
There are many drawing techniques to
learn. One of the first things we need to
know is how to hold a pencil to be more
effective at drawing . The correct way to
Hold your pencil or marker, is between
the
Thumb and index finger supported by
the
middle finger. With chalk or pastels you
would
only use the thumb and middle finger. This
may
seem a little awkward at first but after a
little
practice you will soon see how easy this
drawing technique becomes.

6. Koi Fish Drawings
Koi Fish Drawing, ink
on white paper
Koi fish drawings can be quite decorative in
color and pattern which are identified by their
shapes and scales.
Here is a collection of koi drawings of varying
shapes and sizes from short, squat, and downright
ugly. Hey, but some of them are quite beautiful with
their markings and color.
Men who go for tattoos seem to like the dragon-
faced Japanese koi because they can look a bit
ferocious as it validates a man's masculinity.
The koi is a symbol for many things from the good
things in life to things like "He's as slippery as a
Koi" but most symbols are related to virtues that
the Japanese honor. As a sidebar, the koi originated
in China, not Japan.

7. Koi Fish Drawings
There is a large variety of koi—there's the
Longfin Carp, Dragon Koi, Butterfly Koi, Gosanke
(the most popular) and hundreds more, if not
thousands.
Interbreeding is prevalent to get dazzling red
and white markings which are the most popular.
This is now an art form with fierce competition at
the Annual International Koi shows. I attended one
in Johannesburg a few years ago and I was blown
away with the enormous variety of colors.

what you like, what you don't like and what you'd like to see that is not

10. Drawing Lessons
Basics of Drawing
There are plenty of free online drawing lessons which were not available
before the internet -- some of these are quite good with the webmaster being a
real artistic pro where you can learn a lot.
It is easy enough to search online for lessons on drawing where you'll find an
abundance but look for "Reviews" where you can get a students' feedback which is
usually truthful or you could check the testimonials.
There is one I've recommended on this site as I've done an evaluation from
student's feedback and their drawings.
Some of them are very good after only several weeks of study.

11. Drawing Lessons
Basics of Drawing
Also a good place to look is on YouTube where
you can see real pros demonstrating how to
draw in simple steps. They usually have a link
back to their sites either in the tags or below the
clip. Besides YouTube, there are other "How-To"
video sites like Vimeo, Metacafe, Veoh and
Ustream, plus many others.
When watching "How-To" videos on drawing, you
have the advantage of stopping it anywhere, you
can playback or rewind it, so it is a good place to
start. You can learn a lot this way in a short space
of time.

13. Christmas Drawings
Creative Family Decorations
Easy Christmas Drawings for family and kids
to share! There will be lots of Christmas
drawings here you can copy or print to get you
into the Christmas spirit.
Can you draw? Okay, follow along with me
here and we'll do some sketching of Santa, a
Christmas tree, perhaps some holly, a stick or
two of candy cane, throw in a few bells,
candles and we must not forget the candles
which adds a little ambiance, right?
Here is an image of dear Santa, notice he has a round face but most of it is covered
with a white beard. If you draw a circle and place two lines for the position of his
eyes, then draw a line halfway between the marks you've drawn for his eyes which
will then be the bottom of his nose. And right underneath that is his wonderful and
ticklish mustache!

14. Christmas Drawings
Creative Family Decorations
Are you getting the Christmas spirit yet? Okay,
what about this next Christmas drawing.
This is a very simple drawing of Santa riding a
candy cane. Draw the cane first without the
stripes. Then Santa's head which is very
cartoonish—so copy it pretty much the same.
Then draw in the rest of him and finally the
stripes on the candy.
You can easily use this on your hand-made
Christmas cards or any of these Christmas
drawings here.

15. Christmas Drawings
Next come the Christmas Bells and these will
be fun things to draw but use your own
decorative elements between the lines which
can really be anything—try little Christmas
balls, squiggly lines, even little Christmas
stockings. See the ribbons and holly? Just copy
them in. And you can also make nice cards
using these bells—so copy to your heart's
content.
So let's be really adventurous with two people
under the mistletoe, this should be great for
someone you love. It is far more complex than
the previous drawings so my suggestion is to
print a copy and trace over the outlines.

To the right here are the two lovers which is a
lot simpler to draw than the previous one.
Below left the drawing is made up of circles for
the face and mouth, a few snowflakes which
you should find easy to draw with simple
mittens holding a carol book. This could be
quite a decorative Christmas card if you use
lots of bright colors against a black sky.
There are more drawings below to help you
get started with your Christmas projects.
Use them freely and send them to your
dearest friends and family.
A Wonderful Christmas Time

18. Drawings
Drawing is a vast subject and takes years or
even decades to get to grips with—that is if
you have the ambition to become a master of
this craft.
Do you have a favorite artist you like and
admire? Go back to his or her earliest works
and come forward in time and notice the
change as the work of art becomes more
masterful.
Even those artists like Vincent van Gogh who
had a short life indeed—you'll notice the rapid
changes in style and vigor.
It does take a lot of skill to observe the form accurately and transpose those lines
into a great work of art.

19. Elements of Drawings
Knowing the elements of drawing, even if you
have said numerous times "I can't draw a
straight line!" will no longer be a challenge to
you.
This will be the first time you will really get
some great enjoyment especially when you
see your first masterpiece come off the
drawing board.
Nope, you will not be "straight line
challenged" again when you learn how
competent you have become.
Knowing the elements of drawing, even if you have said numerous times "I can't

20. Elements of Drawings
•The Dot Family: the difference here between the dot and the circle the dot is filled
in with color whereas the circle is an outline only. A dot can be any size, very large or
just a speck.
•The Circle Family: this is the same shape and size of the dot.
•The Straight Line Family: Don't think of the line as most do of being thin. A line can
be thick, squat, or a series of straight line as in the example above.
•The Curved Line: similar to the line family only it is bent or curved. See these curved
lines as individual line - or as clumped lines.
•The Angle Line Family: these are two straight lines joining together at some point.
These angle lines are quite common you will notice in many drawings.

21. Sketches of Flowers
Sketches of flowers drawn realistically has always been a
favorite among famous and not-so-famous artists throughout
history. Vincent van Gogh did not paint his "Sunflowers"
realistically at all but they certainly had impact for originality.
Being sensitive to all the subtle nuances in sketching flowers
takes years of experience.
Being sensitive to all the subtle nuances in sketching flowers
takes years of experience. Sorry folks, there are no shortcuts
when it comes to creating flowers with a pencil or pen that
looks like the real thing. If you can almost smell the fragrance
oozing from the soft gossamer-like petals, you know the artist
has created something special.

22. Aztec Art Drawing
Aztec Art Drawings were made to honor Aztec gods and
battles, but also to tell mythical stories and to mark everyday
happenings in the lives of these complex people.
To the Aztecs, art was far more than a fun, casual outlet for
their design skills. It stood as a symbol of their culture. Aztec
Art Drawings were made to honor Aztec gods and battles, but
also to tell mythical stories and to mark everyday happenings
in the lives of these complex people.
Draw the body as big and muscular as you like; you might
even use a poster of your favorite wrestler or action star as a
model! And all clothes for your subject should be bright and
ornamental; think long, flowing robes, jewelry and
headpieces, colored any way you like. Unlike other, more
traditional types of art, exaggeration is encouraged in Aztec
drawings.

23. Abstract Drawings
Drawings can be an absolute ball of creativeness and
more akin to doodling or even scribbling. If you are a
beginner and drawing or painting, this is the place to
start.
Let's look at how nature can help us get our abstract
ideas flowing: Here is an image of some trees but the
image is upside down so you can't actually "see" it is a
tree. In the second image, it has been put through a
Photoshop poster filter which reduces all the values from
about 10 to 4 – so you can only see 4 values (value
meaning the lightness or darkness of a color or tone.)

24. Celebrity Drawings
Celebrity drawings have taken a different level among
the art lovers. Drawing is not just restricted to scenery,
cartoons or idols. Drawing is such an art that lets every
person show their inner talent.
Your hands can do wonders and who knows that one
day you will be praised as the second Leonardo Da
Vinci! When it comes to drawing the celebrities, who
will be your first priority? A renowned singer or a
renowned actor?
Cartoonish celebs add a lot of humour To our lives
So, you love drawing and your masters have applauded your talent. How about
producing a drawing that will not only roll you down the floor, but also helps others to
recognize you as a humorous artist!

26. Dragons Drawings
Drawings of Dragons is of course, an art, but that
doesn’t mean that it can’t be taught. There are many
ways to learn to draw, and a few different techniques
that you can use to start you in the right direction.
•Start Here
When you start to draw, you need to begin with a
frame, this will be the guidelines that you will use to
pad out the drawing.
•Next is the head
After you have drawn the basic lines, you can
concentrate on filling out your drawing. Use the guide
that you have already drawn to help you place the
head in the right way and use it as the base for the
head.
•The body Once you have the head drawn, progress along the neck and back. This will give
you a natural progression and help you to make the look of the dragon flow.
•Finishing touches Once you have drawn the whole dragon, you can add any detail that you
want such as muscle definition, scales, veins etc. This is the part that you can get really
creative, and you can also add color at this point as well.

28. Cartoon Faces
Do you like to doodle when you are talking on
the phone or draw cartoon faces on your memo
pad during boring business meetings at
work? You are not alone. Drawing cartoons is a
fun way to pass the time. It develops your
creativity and imagination while providing some
comical entertainment for your friends and
family.
The Basic Shapes
Cartoon Heads, Funny Eyes, The Silly Nose , The
Bulbous Ears
You can easily manipulate your facial expressions
by focusing on three key components: the
mouth, the eyelids and the eyebrows. Leave
the other traits the same and practice changing
these three areas only. Have fun drawing!

29. Cartoon Characters
Cartoon characters can be fun to draw...if you're in the right mood, feelin' good and
passionate about drawing cartoons, then...now is the chance! The Hombre here sure aint
handsome!
So if you can just loosen up a bit, grab a pencil, think about darling Grandma as she is quite a
character to draw, then start drawing. I bet she will be delighted with the results - even if you
have given her the ugliest bulbous nose!
Chances are you've read and watched your fair share of cartoons so show grandma's
hooked nose or whatever shape it is, her goose neck - and draw!
Exaggerate whatever you think is cool but nothing 'orrible eh! This will shine through as you
begin to draw your own. Cartoons are aboutcharacter rather than trying to create a
realistic drawing.

30. Pencil Sketches
Pencil sketches are always a delight to see if they are created with passion. Do they
make an original statement about something we've never envisioned or seen before? If
so, it must be a great sketch!
You can see instantly if the pencil sketch has been drawn by an artist who knows
line, value and texture and reveals an effortless approach to drawing. Many of the
drawings below show this style and most drawings with a boldly stated line.
Sketches do not have to be "polished" as if they are for gallery display; have a look at
Rembrandt's rough sketches or Picasso or the superb Matisse drawings. Many of these
were "studies" for further exploration of the human form.

32. How To Draw
My advice would be for a beginner to purchase a few quality
pencils and a sketch pad. A ring bound sketchpad about 9 inches
by 12 inches to keep all your drawings in one place and they will
stay in chronological order (you’ll date each page).
This way you can spot your progress over the weeks and months
ahead.
Get to know your pencils well, how they feel in your hand, the
softness of the 2B to 6B and the HB which you will use a lot. You’ll
need an HB for roughly drawing out your guidelines (which can be
erased later) to the softer pencil and their characteristics. Please
DO NOT use a pencil that has been sharpened down to an inch
long. You can’t possibly get an nice curve or energetic line with a
stubby pencil!
See cartoon above for stubby pencil.

33. Easy How To Draw
Art is an inward expression to translate feeling and
emotions into color, texture and shapes. For many
artists, this freedom of expression has a cathartic
quality to spill out what has been bottled up inside
them and translate those complicated emotions
into a thing of beauty to look at.
The essence of art is to communicate thoughts and
ideas from life drawing reality to thought provoking
abstracts. The eye of the artist is quick to pick up
project topics to move and affect the viewing
audience.
Some pieces of art will make you laugh, cry or cause
you to reflect inwardly on a social issue. Since there
is no right or wrong when it comes to drawing, it's
important to be yourself and let your imagination
run wild.

34. Nature Sketches
Nature, in the broadest art world sense, is all things Natural
Nature sketches in all its beauty is a job well done when you start with a few basic
drawing principles to help you out.
Whether you opt for a forest scene, the beach, a desert landscape or want to capture
the essence of your garden at home, following a few simple rules to keep your nature
sketches in balance will cut the chaos and confusion when getting started.

35. Flower Sketches
There is a large variety to choose from when drawing flower
sketches and, if you follow along with these basics, you'll get
good results.
The easiest flower to draw will be any of the five petal flowers like
the daisy or cosmos – there are hundreds of them to choose
from.
I have drawn a few simple illustrations on this page to show you
an easy way to get an effective flower sketch.
Notice that in most flowers (not all) that the petals emanate from
a center point and that would be the stamen. At the base of the
stamen you'll find the stem. You need to know this in order to
draw it —you'll find it in all flowers.

36. Angel Drawings
Angel drawings throughout the ages have evolved with
artistic cultural changesand new vision as to the way we
envision these creatures.
Whether you believe they exist or not doesn't really matter,
what does matter is that there are no genuine models for
angels.
The drawing of an angels usually takes a homogenous theme
to indicate the image is indeed that of an angel, rather than
a creature from Greek or Roman mythology. Long flowing
hair, oversized majestic wings, tranquil faces and loose-fitting
garments will get your point across in drawing angels.
However, since there is no legitimate model to craft the
image after, it doesn't hurt to take a few liberties when
creating your own unique angel.

Many of these
sketches—which

been culled from

(sketchbooks)
dating back to the
year dot.
The art of drawing came about because it was originally intended for
preliminary sketches to be transposed into other media—usually oil painting.
These old masters gave us an insight into the artists search for forms, ideas and
designs.
