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.

The first thing that you should know is to create a concept. You need to have an idea on what you want to create. It can be anything, your imagination is the limit. If you think you like those bizarre ones, then go for it. Creating a brainstorm of ideas might be hard, but if you take your time and study it, it should not be a problem.

Once you finish creating your concept, you can then proceed to the second stage which is the narration part. This is where the main story comes into play. You have to create a story in every shape that you make through the drawing process. For instance, if it is a line, you can narrate it as a road that most people cross or something like that.

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.

Once you are done with everything, then you should treat yourself for it. You can eat your favorite food or play our favorite video game. It can be anything, as long as you will feel satisfied for what you have done. To let the world know what you have created, do not forget to share it to your social networks.

By far these are the most important factors that you can do to start this activity. If you think the information that you can get here are quite broad, then try browsing the web for further explanation on these steps.
