Quick Drawing Warm-Up

Here's a line quality exercise to practice before you start drawing. Do this for 5-10 minutes before starting your real drawing for the day.

If you're worried about wasting paper, do it on less expensive printer paper or do it digitally. It really helps!

There's a brand new lesson with a bunch of these exercises up now, here on Youtube:

Do NOT underestimate this exercise. It improves hand-eye coordination, precision, confidence and line quality. Try to aim for longer lines and do multiple passes on the same line to strenghten your accuracy. Also it's simple and weirdly fun to do!

just finished this in the draw-a-box lesson, can definitely say it'll be a good warmup to improve over time

I've drawn a billion lines in my life. And I can tell you without doubt: we're not born the same. You're lucky. You're talented. If it was all about working hard I'd be your level by now.

I've always warmed up using this and a different variation where you place 3 dots in a triangular shape then connect all three with a curved line, trying to make them as clean and perfect as I can while varying sensitivity with each one. Always helps me get started.

Drawing straight lines easily is an indicator that someone did hella drawing

[DistantDeadWorlds]

Draw a box does this as one of the first exercises, but with pen

Its helpful. Please give more guidance like this as I'm a just beginner in this field

This is just the profession of an Osu player

What do you do if you can’t get past this? I’ve been studying art for ten years and I can’t even trace lines, let alone control them like this. I can’t understand how the line stays straight or how to get it to connect to the other dot. My body seems physically incapable of controlling my movement like this!

[alexoxo]

How do I stop my like from curving? By nature of my arm my lines want to curve instead of being straight

[Thesandearlys]

Are there any books on drawing things like that

[Thesandearlys]

Is there a tutorial on how to draw circles
