Learning Drawing - Where to Begin a Drawing?

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 01:08:39 -0500

Recently I was asked a question that seems common among beginning artists who just start to learn drawing: " how and where to begin a drawing??" Don't be mislead into believing this is a too simple and silly question. Although the answer may seem obvious, I've seen too many artists that fail because they don't follow these principles.Once artists come up with a new drawing without an organized and structured format their drawing may fail to create impressions. Not that I have faith in structures and stringent rules. Sticking to some really plain and obvious rules when preparing a new drawing will make your work hassle free.What urges you to draw?First question yourself not only what you feel like drawing but also why do you desire to draw it? What is the message you're trying to give the viewer? Knowing the idea you're trying to put across to your viewers is a vital first step. For example, imagine that you want to draw the picture of a dog then ask yourself why? Is it to demonst...

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:14:56 -0500

Are you a beginning songwriter who strives towards writing songs that become hits? Do you need to know how you can improve your songwriting skill? It's not too complicated. Don't try to re-invent the wheel. As far as I'm concerned the best way to improve your songwriting is to study what hit songwriters do. Forget about the mediocre stuff and learn from the leaders in the songwriting and music industry. Study what works. As a songwriter who has written quite a few number one songs in my country, one thing that has helped me and continues to help me is the radio. I listen to the radio all the time so I know what type of song is happening. I know what people like, what they want to hear, and what is current. This gives me a good idea of what kind of song I should write to target a particular market. When you listen to the radio, take notes on what hit songs have in common. Study the structure of these songs. What tempo seems to work? Are the chord progressions complicated or are the son...
