Drawing Exercises

Practical drawing activities designed to push your creative boundaries and develop new skills. These exercises range from blind drawing to working with your non-dominant hand.

Blind Drawing

Blind drawing trains your eyes to really see your subject by forcing you to stop looking at the paper while you work.

Drawing Sensations

How great painters evoke touch, smell and sound through brushwork alone, and how you can develop this skill yourself.

Freeing Yourself Up

Tension and nervousness can block your drawing, but loose muscles and steady breathing help you create with more confidence and flow.

Life Drawing

Learn why drawing the human form remains fundamental to art training and how to start practicing life drawing yourself.

Maximising Creativity Through Risk

Taking creative risks, whether through experimentation or stepping into the unknown, is how artists push beyond technical skill to create truly dynamic work.

Thinking Outside the Box

Breaking free from rigid thinking patterns helps artists create work that goes beyond mathematical formulas and embraces natural creativity.

Wrong Hand Drawing

Using your non-dominant hand to draw breaks bad habits and forces you to develop your skills beyond safe shortcuts.
