How to Actually Develop your Skills If you want to actually improve or enhance your skills… or develop new ones… there’s only one way top do it! Practice! You can’t learn to swim reading a book… sooner or later you’re going to have to get wet! So here’s the way to do it… simply start creating very very simplified sketches of people… in 5 minutes or less. Look for and sketch only the essential features of a subject’s face… using singular lines. Try my “Stop… Look… Proceed” procedure where you start a line… pause and look back at you subject to see where the line goes… then proceed slowly & deliberately with the lines to define the shapes. If you don’t have reference to work from… sketch from mine. Fast Sketching is NOT about drawing real fast… it’s about drawing slowly… precisely… and with a confident line… but… omitting 90% of the detail… and capturing only the essential shapes of your subject. And if you want to improve quickly … set a goal of 3 sketches per day. Good luck… Now… quit reading and Sketch!
