Having good posture

Keep to one vantage point

It is important to keep your vantage point consistent.

Once you choose to draw at a certain angle, stick to that

angle and view position. If you keep changing positions,

you will lose the perspective you were using.

When drawing objects on the table

Sit squarely in your chair and keep your back straight.

Keep your face at a right angle to the paper—refer to

image below.

When using an easel

Set the object at a 45 degree angle to the easel. Set the

object in front of you, where you can easily view it. It

is also important to set the object on the proper side. If

you place the object on the same side that you hold your

pencil, your viewpoint may shift. Be mindful of where

you place the object.

Drawing incorporates your hands, eyes and brain. It

is quite work, so take 10 minute breaks every hour.

Taking proper breaks is the

shortcut to improvement.

Positioning your subject

Place the object directly in front of you instead of

to the side. Set your eraser and other tools on the

side you find convenient.
