View submission: How to draw an owl.

View parent comment

It's actually really easy to draw something you're looking at, I went through elementary school thinking I couldn't draw at all, and I only learned I could in art class in highschool. The trick is not not think of it as a whole.

Drawing something from memory though? That shit is fucking impossible.

I think you mean to not think of it as an overly simple 'icon' of what it is your trying to draw; seeing it as it as rather than how you think it looks.
