Rules of the Draw (Help me please)

[Blue_Pen]

Hi everyone

I have 10 months drawing. im reading many books and magazines. And i want to find the most important question. How to draw objects with the right shape?

i asked the teachers and friends. They say only: "just draw". But I don't think so "just draw" is enough? So to ask you a few questions

Question 1: "Just draw" is enough for you?

Question 2: To draw something that should be followed are the rules? (if any)
(1 - Gesture 2 - proportion etc ...)

Question 3: Objects in the box to see the before, to see if the experience with

Question 4: If i drawing well, Where is te problem? Experience, or technique?

Thanks to everyone...

Look at the subject, and draw what you see; in my life drawing class, sometimes I draw something the way I *think* it should look - while the way it actually looks differs somewhat.

The only rule to draw that made sense to me was "never draw to an inside straight." Other than that, anything goes...

"How to draw objects with the right shape?"

Well...drawing shapes and forming them into object is very subjective. Some people see body parts as spheres and cones, other's boxes that wedge. It's up to you to train your eye. But with any 3d shape it helps to learn perspective.

Thank you for your comments.

I guess the question is not answered :(
Maybe you need to look from another angle.
If you do not have the rule of "good draw", no need to search "the rule".

Just draw, its that simple.
its the same as everything else, just walk, just run, just talk, the more you do it the better you will get, there is no 'rule' no secret shortcut, its all about practice and determiation.

listen when we say just draw, behind that is a whole world of knowledge.

There are really no rules to drawing...just different set of appoarches to get certain results. If you take an industrial designer vs a portrait artist. They both are going to have a different mindset or "rules" on what they would consider an acceptable/good drawing.

If you could narrow what art field you are more interested in, people could give you good suggestions. But better yet, if you want critiques to improve your drawings. Post them away for feedback. Eventually you will discover which techniques are working for you...and come up with your own set of "rules" to get the results you want.

Just my two cents. I think you are on the right track.

Experience in my opinion.

Just keep working at it, post your work in a sketchbook, and people can tell you what you did wrong peice by peice.

Practice makes perfect.

as the other are saying, things will suddenly pop and become clar to you with time as you keep drawing and drawing,, you will realise what you need to look for when drawing, on what to focus when you draw from life, i think the important thing is to realise that you need to see and draw in '' 3d'' you need to understand what qualities of a line or shading create that illusion of depth on a sheet of paper. Keep reading books, you will always find quotes that make sense to you and give answer to some doubts in your mind and removed some fears.. One thing that helped me a lot recently,,, i think drawing is related as much to the feeling of touch as to the one of seeing. You need to train your brain by drawing and drawing and drawing. Even if you think you wont improve, you will.

Apolagies for not understanding, but what is it you're looking for? As was mentioned, defining what it is YOU look for in a drawing is what's important. Then advice can be given for what rules will work for your drawings.
