Steps In Making Narrative Drawings

By Ida Dorsey


Drawing is not about how good you are, but it is more into the ideas that you want to imply. It does not mean that realistic drawings are not good. The main point here is that, no matter how bad your drawing skills is and your ideas are quite good, then that should be okay.

Drawings can be used in various types. It can be through shirt printing, tattoo, logo design and some other products out there that requires an illustration. If you want to study narrative drawings, then you have come to the right place. We will try to introduce to you to some of the basic steps that you have to undergo in doing this kind of illustration.

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.

For some, creating ideas is a difficult task. You have to be very creative in order for you to do this. This is not always the case. In fact, every person has ideas, but they are just not that confident to show it to the world.

Last step but not the least, is the presentation. This is where you finish everything up and ready to show it to your audience. If you are proud of you work and you are okay to show it to the world, then share to some social networking sites out there.

Keep in mind that giving is not always an option. If you failed in the first try, then try it again until you get what you want. It might take some time, but for sure the results will be worthwhile.
