I have been researching about my genius hour project for about a while now and its going good so far. I am getting a lot of practice so far and improving in my drawing and also my brother is helping me a lot too. I at least spend about 15-30 minutes of drawing at home just to get practice and improve at it, if I don’t have much time then I spend at least 10-15 minutes a day. I try to practice different types of methods on improving my drawing skills and abilities. I have also gone to many websites to help me and the good thing about that is that there are different types of abilities to work on and help you on different things. Recently I am practicing to just make simple objects and making something creative out of them.
The 5 steps that are really helping me are these steps:
1. Try practicing shapes with shading and experiment with different tools.
2. Draw simple designs. After you get used to shading with different tools, start drawing simple designs and things like plants or something you see around you laying on a table. (Remember that if it doesn't start out good that you can always erase it, but try to finish what you started and then make changes to it later.)
3. Draw vivid designs. Now you can start drawing something more alive with expression and eyes. (You can choose if you want to start with animals first or humans.) Try looking at a photo or go buy a drawing book (suggested) and start off with easier, less detailed things like a fish, a perched bird or something that isn't furry and/or in too much motion.
4. Be self-confident about your drawing skills. Always encourage yourself to draw and praise yourself to keep practicing until you get it right.
5. Graduate to more complex drawing designs. After you are used to simple animals try to draw detailed ones. Always take your time drawing details; rushed details do not look effective. The best way to make detailed drawings is to start off with the outline (the way you just learned). Next do the details, such as eyelashes, freckles, noses, fingers, shading, clothes wrinkles, etc. For animals, add stripes, spots, scales, shine, long coats and background.
