Studio drawings   Small sketches   Big form       About the author	The main goal of this site is to help beginners overcome the initial fear before drawing and to assist those pupils who feel that their drawing is not improving. Quick Drawing Practice (QDP) is based on a number of simple drawing exercises which allow anyone to draw any object in the surrounding world quickly and similarly. In offering QDP, I suggest that drawing is a natural ability of every person, older than the ability to read and write. Quick Drawing (QD) does not mean that you have to draw with great speed. But it is important for you to define rigid frameworks of time, the size of sheet and technique. QD is also called sketch art or free drawing. The time to make one drawing is usually less than 5 minutes. The drawing must be made in one continuous process from beginning to an end. The main task is to have a complete visual image of the object, (otherwise it is Big Form) and to express it as simply as possible. QDP training develops the ability to perceive, to remember and to similarly represent The Big Form of an object that is essential for drawing from memory and using imagination. The QDP approach for drawing can be useful to those who drew in childhood, and then stopped for some reason, for those who are learning to draw, and for everyone who may be interested in QDP. QDP develops the ability to draw confidently, with pleasure and similarly each time. Reaching this goal is as easy as learning how to read and write and it is quite within the reach of any adult. QDP differs from common opinion that drawing is an activity for a select few and demands special abilities, long-term work and even talent. QDP approach and mood is more like sports or martial arts. You can read more about QDP in the article "QDP - Practice of figurative thinking" and in section titled QDP tips - notes of a pupil. Examples of QDP drawings (Small sketches, Studio drawings) can be found in Gallery. See also photos from exhibitions.
