Drawing exercises for beginners
Most exercise lists tell you what to practise and leave you to judge the result yourself — the one thing a beginner cannot do. These are the same fundamentals, except you do them here and the result gets measured. Here is exactly how.

How to draw a circle freehand
Draw one circle. Get a number, and the reason behind it.
How to draw straight lines freehand
Connect two dots. Find out whether your line curves or shakes — they are not the same problem.
How to draw ellipses
Draw one ellipse inside the box. Find out whether its degree, its angle or its evenness is what let it down.
Fix your proportions
Mark the middle of six bars. Find out whether your eye has a habit, and which direction it runs in.
Draw the other half
Half a vase is on screen. Draw the missing half, and your side gets folded across the centre line onto the given one — so you see the gap rather than being told about it, at every height from the rim to the foot.
How to draw a box in perspective
Pick one-, two- or three-point, then draw a box however you like. Every edge gets extended to its vanishing point, and you find out in degrees which set does not agree.
How to draw a cylinder in perspective
Draw a cylinder at any angle. Both end ellipses get checked against the axis of the form, and you find out in degrees whether they sit square to it — and whether the far end opens up the way it has to.
Being built
Each drill needs its own measurement and its own set of named faults, so they arrive one at a time rather than all at once.
- Parallel hatchingmeasures spacing consistency and whether your strokes converge.
- Head proportionsmeasures the nose and mouth against the eye line you just placed.
