Developing your drawing skills is something that is a lifelong process. As a pyrographer, I can’t stress enough about the necessity of drawing skills, and how a good foundation of knowing how to draw and developing a drawing skill that will greatly improve your pyrography skills. This is something that I continue to work on, not only because it is enjoyable to me but also because I know what I lack in skill and the only way to improve is to keep at it. Keeping a sketchbook and a pencil handy is all you need, it is portable, you don’t need electric, you can even take it out and make a 5 minute sketch over your lunch break at work. I have heard so many people, even pyrography students, tell me that “they can’t draw”. In lieu of me writing a tome on the benefits of drawing and telling you until I am blue in the face that you certainly can if you give it time and practice, let me direct you to this sweet encouraging animation I found. This says it all and so much better than I can.

Despite many claiming they can’t draw, the author encourages them to practice instead of writing at length about the benefits.

The easy - to - carry nature of a sketchbook and pencil makes it feasible to practice drawing even during short breaks.

Love that this post flips the script—your sketchbook and pencil are all you need to start. Instead of endless explanations, it nudges you to just practice and watch your drawing grow.

This is refreshing — I like how “Artists Who Can’t Draw” challenges the myth that good art always starts with perfect drawing.
