Tip 1: Do a drawing exercise every day

As is so often the case, we cannot avoid the saying “practice makes perfect”. Because our skills can only be improved if we continually stick with it and practice. It's not about the end result, but about the journey there.

So that you can really do these exercises consistently, you should prepare the following:
/ How long should the practice time be? One week? A month?
/ When do I take the time for this? First thing in the morning or later in the evening? Or in between?
/ What materials would I like to practice with? Do I have everything I need? A few new materials could boost your motivation!
/ Do I have a sketchbook in which I can do these exercises? Would I like to keep this with me at all times so I can practice in between?
/ What do I want to draw? This raises the question: What would I like to be able to do?

TIP:Depending on what goal you are pursuing with the exercises, you should also choose your motifs. Do you want to be able to draw realistically? Then find an everyday object and draw it every day. Do you want to expand your style? Then you should plan to draw the object in a different way every day.

Tip 2: Basic shapes as basics

Shapes form the basis of all drawings. Even if they are not recognizable at first glance, they determine the dynamics and structure of the design for many motifs.
The surprising thing is that almost everything you can draw as an artist can be created with shapes.

Molds can also create unique patterns and create realistic designs. Even if you already draw a lot and very well, you should get to grips with the basics again.

Start drawing all the basic shapes freely. You can then use the basic shapes to create motifs that are made up of several.

TIP:Do you want to train your eye to recognize different shapes? Take an old magazine and use a marker to outline all the basic shapes you can see on the pages.

Tip 3: Create patterns

After you have repeated the basic shapes, you can now use them to create your own patterns. For example, create patterns that contain only circles or only rectangles.
Repeating a pattern develops your fine motor skills. You also get even better control over your work materials such as pens and brushes.

TIP:Always have your sketchbook ready to transform impressions from your everyday life into patterns - plants, wallpaper, packaging. Anything can serve as inspiration if you concentrate on it and perceive it consciously.

The more often and regularly you practice, the faster you will notice how your drawing skills develop. Have fun!
