Secrets to Drawing from Imagination

Without the need for reference

Drawing without reference seems like just a party trick. But there's an actually formula you can follow. And it's not that hard!

Why learn to draw from imagination?

Besides being insanely fun, drawing from imagination has many benefits on all aspects of drawing.

Not only does it improve and enlarge your visually library, also drawing from life becomes A LOT easier. Why? Because when we are able to pull from our visual library, we can draw the things we're seeing in real life with more confidence and beauty.

The goal as an artist is to draw a bit of what we see, a bit of what we know and a lot of what we'd like to see.
