BOOKS – Learn to Draw AND Make it a Habit

“I can’t draw myself out of a paper bag.”

“I can’t draw a straight line to save my life.”

“I can’t even draw a stick figure.”

Does this sound like you? Well you’re in luck because I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. You can draw, you can draw stick figures and drawing straight lines is overrated.

I’ve written a book especially for you.  It doesn’t assume that you know anything about drawing at all.  You don’t need you to have any “talent.”

I assume that the only thing you know how to do is write. And using that I build upon your knowledge of writing to help you expand beyond it into drawing.

The book is called, The Art of Draw Fu: Beginner’s Level and I compare drawing to Kung Fu in it.

When you go take a martial arts class, they don’t assume you have marital arts “talent” and say, “Okay since you’re talented, I will teach you.”

No. They assume you know nothing and that’s why you’re going to the class. Well, my book is like that.  You don’t need to be talented to learn what is in it.

I take everything I’ve learned in all my years drawing, including the 20+ years I have working on The Simpsons and brake down drawing to it’s most basic components.

In the book you will learn:

• How you may already be drawing and don’t know it.
• The dirty secret of drawing talent.
• How learning to draw basic shape can let you draw anything.
• How to draw stick figures with style.
• What professionals know about tracing correctly.
• How to draw basic cartoon characters…and much more

That’s what in the book, BUT there’s MORE.  I’m now bundling the book with some fantastic things that makes it even easier to get started drawing. It will even save you some time.

How would you like your drawing skills to increase without frustration?

Has this ever happened to you?  You sit down to do something, and you get so absorbed in it that when you look up, hours have passed and you feel like you’ve been meditating.

If you have, you’ve experience “flow state” otherwise known as “being in the zone.”  Flow state can be reached in many different ways doing many different things.  Sports is one way.

Drawing is another.

There’s a reason why artists draw.  It’s not just the reward of creating something, it’s not just the kudos from friends that think the drawing is great, it’s not just the joy of having the skills to draw what you want, although all those things are reasons artists draw.

But the reason little kids draw, and the reason those kids who stuck with it are now drawing today, is because at some point, they got addicted to reaching flow state as they drew.

This is why drawing has so many mental health benefits. It puts you in a state of peace outside yourself.  And then when you’re done, you have a drawing to show for it.

The problem–reaching flow isn’t easy.

There’s a delicate balance that must be reached to get into flow when drawing.  If the drawing task is too easy, it’s boring and you don’t reach flow. If the drawing is too difficult then you get frustrated and quit. BUT if the drawing is just tough enough to challenge your skills but it’s still doable, then POW, you’re in flow.

If you’ve been struggling to create a habit out of drawing, it’s probably because you haven’t reached flow state nearly enough when you draw.  You’ve probably found it to be too challenging and frustrating and so you quit, or just too easy and found it boring.

How Can You Reach Flow and be Able to Create a Drawing Habit?

Seriously, the things in this book can be done anywhere and anytime, on anything.  I provide a sketchbook but you can doodle on anything laying around.  You can take five minutes or fifteen. The exercises are quick to do.

It will blow their minds.

Supplies May Be Limited (not sure yet)

Now, I will say, I only have a limited amount of these bundles.  I’m personally putting together and sending out each and every bundle.

I have to special order all the things that go into each bundle.  The place I get my supplies seems to run out of stock on some of this stuff and they don’t seem to be able to resupply.  I honestly don’t know how long I’ll be able to sell these bundles.  I put this stuff together at my home and once the supplies can’t be ordered anymore, that’s it.

So it would be very wise, if you’re going to invest in a bundle, to do it now while I can still get the supplies.
