Steps In Making Narrative Drawings

By Ida Dorsey


Drawing can be very difficult, especially if you are not that accustomed to it. However, just like any other skills, if you practice, you will eventually learn it. Most of the time, it can be frustrating, especially if the result is not what you expect it to be.

Drawings can be used in various types. It can be through shirt printing, tattoo, logo design and some other products out there that requires an illustration. If you want to study narrative drawings, then you have come to the right place. We will try to introduce to you to some of the basic steps that you have to undergo in doing this kind of illustration.

Primarily, you need to start with a concept, which is what mostly drawing starts. Imagine anything that you can imagine and illustrate that, if you can. By doing that, you will have a clear idea in mind on what you should create. This is difficult in some ways, but if you just open up your mind to some other possibilities, that should be okay.

Since you will be narrating it, you have to expect that you have a storyline ready. Again, it can be whatever it is. You can start it by introducing the characters or describing the location. It is up to your taste on how you want to do it. Most of the time, narration starts with an opening description of the place or the character.

Now, it is time for the illustration. It is not that necessary that you know how to draw. Just a basic shape and that should be fine. Before you create a step by step story, make an overview first on what it looks like when it is finish. In that way, it would be easier for you on how to narrate the process. In narrating, be sure that the words you are saying corresponds to what you are illustrating.

Right after the sketching, you can then select an outliner that you want to utilize. Most artists prefer a colored pen or a marker. If your design composed of colors, then the colored one is the best way to go. However, if you like black and weight portraits, then go for the marker instead. Be careful in using this, because it might smudge.

To further improve your ideas on what you should make, then the web is your best buddy. Just search the internet for these type of drawings and that should be fine. Try to recreate their story and see if you can do it. If you can, then try to create your own.

Last step but not the least, is the presentation. This is where you finish everything up and ready to show it to your audience. If you are proud of you work and you are okay to show it to the world, then share to some social networking sites out there.

By far these are the most important factors that you can do to start this activity. If you think the information that you can get here are quite broad, then try browsing the web for further explanation on these steps.
