Though it is true, that perfection in art forms like drawing comes with lots of practice. But there are certain techniques that you can use to make your drawing lively and your overall drawing experience fun filled. And you can not automatically discover them just through practice.
Here in this article you will find couple of such techniques that will help to push your envelop.
1. Whatever we see all around us are made up of 3d shapes. When drawing a figure of human being, animal or whatever, break the complex shape into simpler 3d shapes in your mind this will help to draw the core structure of your character easily.
2. Another useful technique is negative space drawing. In negative space drawing instead of drawing the details of the character you draw the space around him. As you can imagine when you draw the negative space around a certain object you end up drawing the outline of the object.
This approach of drawing makes your work easy because instead of messing up with smaller details at the outset you first easily finish the over all outline of your character and then you can concentrate on the details without much difficulty.
3. Drawing is an inexpensive hobby you can simply start with a pencil and piece of paper. Though you can also start with a computer and some fancy drawing or illustrating software, to start with keep it simple.
The computer can be too helpful to be good for developing your skill at initial stages. And know that many professional 2D animation production houses make their drawings on paper then the drawing is scanned into computer for finishing work, coloring etc. So do what the big boys are doing and sharpen your pencil skill first.
