Can I really learn to draw like a master?
Is the ability to draw masterful portraits a skill that only a few can learn? Do you need to have the so-called natural talent to be able to become really good at drawing? The answer to both of these questions is emphatic no! Everyone can learn to draw well with proper knowledge and guidance.
Am I promising too much? No, I'm not! Why? Because in drawing or in art, knowledge is power! With the right knowledge, you can improve your drawings even instantly. Of course, you need to practice also, but learning can be made much faster with the right information. Why is this so? Because there are good ways to practice and bad ways. I have personally experienced the drawbacks of mindless practice and I've had to learn many things the hard way. I don't want that you make the same mistakes as I've made.
You can learn to draw great portraits in a relatively short time span if you know what are the absolute Essentials that you should focus on. In this way, every line you draw and every minute you spent time on drawing improves your drawing skills. You stop wasting your time on mindless repetition!
