5 Drawing Exercises That Every Artist Should Practice

Gesture Drawing

The one on the right is an example of tighter more expressive execution
In this exercise you want to get as much information down on the paper in short amount of time. You will be doing a series of drawings here, so make sure you have plenty of paper and a timer on hand. The first drawings you only have 20 seconds to complete.

Repeat the 20-second drawings about 10 times and increase the timer to 40 seconds. You want to be bold with these drawings and forget about the “mistakes” that you are making.

You should begin to notice an improvement in your line quality and become more confident with your drawing. Focus on looking at what you are drawing as much as the drawing itself and do not stop moving your hand when you look up.
