Steps In Making Narrative Drawings

By Ida Dorsey


Drawing can be very difficult, especially if you are not that accustomed to it. However, just like any other skills, if you practice, you will eventually learn it. Most of the time, it can be frustrating, especially if the result is not what you expect it to be.

Drawings has been around for centuries already. Our ancestors used different tools to achieve it. Some of them even use bizarre equipments just to share their ideas to everyone. If you want to know how to create narrative drawings, then that is fine, because we will guide you through on how to do it. If there are some steps that you find difficult, just practice it and you will learn.

Primarily, you need to start with a concept, which is what mostly drawing starts. Imagine anything that you can imagine and illustrate that, if you can. By doing that, you will have a clear idea in mind on what you should create. This is difficult in some ways, but if you just open up your mind to some other possibilities, that should be okay.

You should also make a storyline write after the concept. In this case, it should be in detail. You can even write it down in a piece of paper to ensure that you will not forget it. The storyline can be anything depending on what topic or story you want to make. Again, it is up to your imagination on what you wish to make.

In drawing, you have to be familiar first with the fundamental shapes. You have to practice your curves, your lines and some other shapes that you find important on what you want to achieve. You can even start it with a sketch. If you are unfamiliar on what a sketch is, it is basically a simple structure that will serve as the skeleton of your overall illustration.

The tools can be whatever your like. It can be your favorite crayon, your ballpen, a marker, or even your blood. Well, blood can be an ink, but do not try this if you are a beginner, because it can be dangerous, especially that you are still practicing. Once you determine the tools that you want to utilize, then go start the illustration process.

To further improve your ideas on what you should make, then the web is your best buddy. Just search the internet for these type of drawings and that should be fine. Try to recreate their story and see if you can do it. If you can, then try to create your own.

Once you finish everything, then you are now ready to present that to your friends or your teacher. You can even post that in a social networking site for everyone to see. If you are not that comfortable sharing it, then collecting it is not a bad idea.

This might not be a skill that can be learned overnight, but if you are willing to do whatever it takes to perfect it, then for sure, you can do it. Always learn from your wrong doings and try to correct that every day.
