It’s my go-to, my crutch, my security blanket. I have been drawing it ever since: I drew it in my school notebooks, in my high school loose leaf binder, in my college notebooks, on legal pads at my editorial job when I got bored, on napkins during bad blind dates, waiting to be selected for jury duty, waiting at the DMV, waiting in a hospital gown for an MRI. Now you, she said, handing me the pen and turning the napkin over.
#PAINTBRUSH DRAWING LINE HOW TO#
I have been drawing this perfect, three-dimensional box since I was nine years old, when my cousin Nina - a brilliant painter and charcoal artist - sat me down during a family dinner and said May I show you how to draw something? I loved, and still love her, and she took out a fine black felt tip pen, and drew a perfect box on a cocktail napkin. The only thing I can draw is a perfect, three-dimensional box. I try, very hard, to make them charming and whimsical and artistically idiosyncratic, like Maira Kalman’s characters or Roz Chast’s, but in truth, they’re flat and boring and I can’t bear to look at them. My people (and dogs and cats) were stick figures now, in my fifties, they still are. I started early: as a child, I was always drawing outside the lines in the coloring books my grandmother bought me. Anne Lamott I admit to being the world’s worst artist. Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist’s true friend. They are all interesting in their own way.On Messes, Creativity, and the Minefield of the Ideal There’s loads of stuff that you can do and use this paint brush drawing for and I’m sure you already have a pretty good idea.ĭon’t forget to share your thoughts below and let us know if you enjoyed learning how to draw these paint brushes.Ĭhallenge yourself to draw as many different brushes and vary the shapes and sizes of them to make things more interesting such as drawing a dagger brush, a mop brush, or even a hake brush. If you want to create an even more intricate drawing, then you can try drawing your paint brushes in a jar with other art supplies.
Once you know the basic shape of a paint brush, you can draw in it any position. You don’t need to be concerned if the drawing looks exactly like your reference but the whole point is to create a cute doodle of it. Like I promised, learning how to draw a paint brush was super easy, right? And it’s also a stress-free drawing. You can then draw straight lines within that shape to indicate the hairs if you want or leave it plain.Īll that’s left is to color your drawing in or you can leave it as is depending on what you plan to use it for. You can then draw lines to indicate the hairs.įor the second paint brush drawing, all you need to do is draw two lines in a angle and join it with a curved line. To complete your paint brush drawing, you’ll want to draw two curved lines facing outwards but making the bottom one slightly longer to make the brush look more curved. On the right hand side, draw another rectangle shape and close it off with a curved line for the first brush but for the second brush make it more angled as you draw the lines coming out as done here. Begin by drawing two lines horizontally and then drawing a curved line to join those two lines together on the left side. Since we’ll be drawing two different paint brushes, you’ll want to draw this step two times. To draw a paint brush, all you really need to do is sketch out the handle of the brush, the part that holds the hair and brush together, and then the hair of the brush.
There are lots of different shapes for the brushes that you can draw as well but for this drawing lesson, we’ll stick with learning how to draw a round brush and a straight head brush. It would make an awesome memory of your very first (or current) art supplies and it’s also a fun drawing idea that will only take you a few minutes. So, I thought it would be a good idea to draw my paint supplies to remember how special they are to me and if you’re also fond of painting, I highly suggest you join me by learning how to draw a paint brush so you too can create a beautiful drawing of all your art supplies.
Painting is one of my most favorite pass time activities that I’ve recently discovered and never knew I’d enjoy so much.
