Your brain needs to start building muscle memory in order to keep up. When you draw quickly, you don’t have time to overthink things. One way to deal with this is forcing yourself to draw quickly. It takes some practice to feel a natural ease and flow with your drawing as you get used to these new mediums. Do a 1-Minute Challengeĭrawing on a tablet with a stylus feels different than drawing with a traditional paper and pencil (pro tip: the Like Paper iPad Screen Protector can make a HUGE difference in making your slippery tablet screen feel like an actual piece of paper. This exercise can give you a lot of self-awareness when choosing your colors, which can be a huge help to your digital drawing life. How do they work together when they aren’t confined to separate circles? How do they work in the context of a real drawing? Then, try drawing a picture, limiting yourself to only those 3 colors. You can start off with 3 circles, switching their colors until you feel like you have something cohesive.

The reason I like outlining an existing picture instead of crafting your own is that it forces you to be even more controlled with your lines.
I like to practice this by pulling up a picture and outlining the shape of it. But, what about all of the other shapes of lines in between? And, do you have enough control to draw a unique line, and then draw another one that looks just like it? Luckily, digital drawing programs like Procreate can make perfect lines and perfect circles. Controlling your lines can be really hard to master, but it’s really important for beginners looking to take their digital drawing skills to the next level.
