Free Download: A Guide to What Makes a Drawing Good
Download a guide with practical insights to help you understand what makes a drawing work and how to better track your own progress as a drawer. We’ve all wondered at least once in our lives what makes a drawing good. When we take our first steps in illustration, it’s perfectly normal to measure the success of our work by whether or not it resembles the reference image. However, a piece doesn’t need to be an identical or hyperrealistic copy to stand out. A drawing can work for many reasons, such as harmony in proportions, the strength of the gesture, visual clarity, the energy of the line, or the ability to convey expressiveness and intention. To help you develop a more conscious and approachable visual eye for drawing, we’ve prepared a special resource that will teach you to analyze your work beyond superficial correctness.
