Help How to make simple drawings

[Life sucks]

Hi,
I don't know how to draw at all but I really need to make some drawings and visuals to help explaining something I have written.

Any ideas?

On YouTube there are step by step drawing lessons that teach you how to draw a bird, or a face or other simple things like that. Maybe they will be of some help!

Also. I know there's a thread in the Off Topic section called I'll draw you a picture (or something like that). Maybe the thread starter there can give you some helpful advice.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

Well if the thing you need to draw for isn't too high stakes, one way to sort of cheat and get good fast at drawing is to simply trace existing drawings. Practice by tracing the same thing multiple times then see if you can draw it without tracing. You can still look at the object as a reference and in fact, this is the proper way to learn how to draw stuff. I don't recommend tracing if you actually want to be able to draw well, but it can help you pick up some drawing basics in a sort of sloppy and quick way. It will at least get your hands used to the motions and force you to start seeing the shapes that form together to make the object of your desire. I can't help you if you need any shading or coloring though.

Maybe you can look at minimalist comics?
