Good and bad drawings

<p>For myself it&rsquo;s a fact that some people can draw well and some simply cannot. &lsquo;People&rsquo; meaning adults who have been drawing long enough to know the difference.</p> <p>So what makes a good drawing?</p> <p>A good drawing shows skill, quality, originality and has meaningful content. A degree of overlap existing between these.</p> <p>When we talk about skill in drawing this is always a bone of contention and as far as I&rsquo;m concerned you cannot be creative if you don&rsquo;t have the skills to be creative with in the first place. Certainly skills can be learnt up to a point but talent also plays a huge part.<br /> Quality is the excellent use of the materials, for example&hellip; a good quality line can easily be differentiated from a poor quality line.<br /> Originality means that the drawing is unique and that it is inspirational and it&rsquo;s not copied and it&rsquo;s not &lsquo;lacking&rsquo; that necessary edge.<br /> Meaningful content is when the drawing has some idea or concept behind it which is meaningful. Meaning can also be found once the drawing is completed, it doesn&rsquo;t necessarily need to precede the act of drawing.</p> <p>If any one of these four main ingredients of excellent drawing are missing the drawing simply isn&rsquo;t excellent.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@sibthorpenew/good-and-bad-drawings-1e7da4fed2db"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
