You can now draw anything on paper with professional techniques! You can even draw more than 100 different things. The following are some of the most important steps you need to follow in order to create an excellent drawing: 1. Hold Your Pen Correctly Hold your pen properly so that it doesn't slip off while you're drawing. It is very important not to hold it awkwardly or too tight as this may cause strain on your wrist and arm.

Keep it relaxed and steady so that you can draw furrows and curves smoothly without any problem. 2. Draw Your Lines Smoothly Once you're holding your pen comfortably, it's time to make sure that the lines are smooth and easy to draw without any problem or getting stuck.

You should make sure that there are no bumps or ridges on the line which could make your drawing look bumpy or messy. 3. Make Your Strokes Even As you start drawing your lines, make sure they are even with no bumps or jagged edges on the sides of them like the ones on a tree branch or a rock formation where they meet each other at odd angles.

Be sure that these lines are parallel with each other too; otherwise, this will give your drawings an unbalanced appearance which looks odd and unprofessional looking too! 4. Add Details To The Drawing This step is probably the most important part of all as any good artist would always want their drawings to look as realistic as possible without making them look too perfect. In order to achieve this, it's advisable that you don't just simply fill up all areas as this could result in details being lost in the process! If you want to add more details, try adding them carefully so as not to overwhelm them with details as this could also lead to small details being lost in the process! 5.

Keep The Colours Even Also another important thing to remember is that colours should be kept even without any overlapping shadows caused by these colours overlapping each other at odd angles! If you notice something wrong with this step, then try doing a little adjustment here and there by repositioning or repainting one of these colours accordingly

He sank back into his black-and-white world, his immobile world of inanimate drawings that had been granted the secret of motion, his death-world with its hidden gift of life. But that life was a deeply ambiguous life, a conjurer's trick, a crafty illusion based on an accidental property of the retina, which retained an image for a fraction of a second after the image was no longer present. On this frail fact was erected the entire structure of the cinema, that colossal confidence game. The animated cartoon was a far more honest expression of the cinematic illusion than the so-called realistic film, because the cartoon reveled in its own illusory nature, exulted in the impossible--indeed it claimed the impossible as its own, exalted it as its own highest end, found in impossibility, in the negation of the actual, its profoundest reason for being. The animated cartoon was nothing but the poetry of the impossible--therein lay its exhilaration and its secret melancholy. For this willful violation of the actual, while it was an intoxicating release from the constriction of things, was at the same time nothing but a delusion, an attempt to outwit mortality. As such it was doomed to failure. And yet it was desperately important to smash through the constriction of the actual, to unhinge the universe and let the impossible stream in, because otherwise--well, otherwise the world was nothing but an editorial cartoon. Steven Millhauser

Daniel's desk by the window is piled high with his drawings. The artwork is everything. He thinks of himself as the act of drawing. His body of work is his life, it is his continuity. The drawings show outwardly that inner place where he is still alive, a thread to connect him with the world. J.J. Brown

Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn. Norman McLaren
