It Is Not About Drawing Accurately, But Rather About Drawing Visually Pleasing Art

Practice Drawing This Draw-along.

D
rawing the face of a woman or a child, or a hand, is tricky; you must get it exactly right or risk making it look ugly. We see these around us a lot and know what they should look like, and when a drawing is slightly off, it hurts the eye.

Clouds, trees, dragons. They do not have a specific way they should look; you can vary a lot, and the result will still look good, which makes it fun to draw them.

This also happens when you stylize a drawing. You deviate from reality, but if the general design is visually pleasing, you don’t have to draw as murderously accurately for the result to look good.

Not having to draw incredibly accurately is much more fun, all the more if the result comes out visually pleasing.

Yours sincerely,
