- 1). Set up an area with the drawing tools next to a computer that can search the web for free art classes online. Go to Draw Space or Learn to Draw for a free online drawing class. The introduction for beginners will help you choose the right fit before starting the class. One of the first assignments will generally ask you to draw a simple shape or line.
- 2). Take time with each step as the the beginner's lessons will take time as they progress the learner from shadowing common objects to using light and dark contours. Over time, keeping objects in proportion to other objects, such as an apple to a banana, will be a snap. Take frequent breaks and keep all the work in a folder for future reference.

Test new drawing skills to gauge the artistic side of the brain over the logical.how to draw a funky little green horse image by Ofri Stern from Fotolia.com
Schedule some uninterrupted time with the computer in a quiet place when learning to draw. The visual mind needs time to control the logical mind after finishing the first set of lessons as a beginner. Take a 5B pencil, paper and lap desk outside to try the new drawing skills. A toy is a good visual to draw shapes, while staying in proportion and perspective. Create the image on paper in small steps as shown here with the small toy horse. - 4). Take intermediate drawing classes. Try layering the new basic drawing skills with a higher level of drawing from another instructor online. Each instructor has a different method of teaching and learning new techniques will make anyone a better artist.
