Basics of Memory Drawing:
In drawing from memory this is what you do: You take a really good look at something then you look away and try to draw it. Simple as that, but ta ke a really good look at the thing you want to draw, spend several minutes trying to get a sense of how it is shaped, what colors are in it and how the light falls on it. Then take out your sketch pad and try drawing it. Don't look back at the object until you are done with the drawing.
Then, do this whole thing again. Start with a fresh page in your sketch pad after taking another hard look at the subject try to draw it again. This process will improve your brains ability to see and remember things and your brains ability to draw. It's a really great technique that will improve your drawing dramatically.
Drawing is the art of bringing what your eye and your mind sees then transferring it to paper. Doing this memory exercise is a great thing to practice and it will develop your mind and your eye. You should consciously practice this on a regular basis.
Just about the single most important aspect of
drawing is the art and craft of seeing. If you have been doing art for a little
while now you probably have noticed that the longer you look at something the
more you see. It is something that takes time and discipline but it will
greatly enhance your ability to draw and paint.
You have to take a really good look at things if you want to draw them well.
It is a fact. So for this lesson we are going to practice something you
probably don't practice much: Drawing from memory. In drawing from memory this is what you do: You take a really good look at something then you look away and try to draw it.
