This simple doodling activity is fun for budding illustrators of all ages and will help improve how you draw objects. No special materials or skills required, just a big pile of shopping catalogues, old magazines or even the local newspaper will do.<\/p>\n

You can start on this exercise concurrently with Exercise One – Making a Reference Library<\/a> if you feel like it.<\/p>\n

Exercise Two \u2013 Junk Mail Doodling or Learning to Draw Objects<\/h2>\n

Keep on collecting the junk mail, not just for your reference library, but also for some fun doodling action.<\/p>\n

Grab a pen (marker or ball point), sit down with the junk mail and begin… defacing!<\/p>\n

Just kidding! But you are going to draw over the objects in the photos (ie. plants, furniture, etc). You are creating an outline of those objects.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

This copying exercise helps you grow as an illustrator. If you do this exercise often enough you will develop a steadier hand, build on muscle memory.<\/p>\n

Take note of the minimum lines required to make an object recognisable.<\/p>\n

You will also improve on drawing dimensions when you later draw the same objects freehand.<\/p>\n
