(soft music) - Hi, I'm Joe Wos from Cartoon Academy, and this is a quick draw lesson on practice.
If you want to get good anything in life, you have to practice.
And one of the best ways to practice in drawing is to draw everything new you learned five times.
If you draw something five times, you'll be surprised how quickly you remember a lesson's learned.
Let me show you what I mean.
I'm gonna show you how to draw a quick little seagull.
We're gonna start with the head shape, up, over, and down.
Out and in.
Down and up.
Up, over, down.
Now for the beak, out, down, up and in.
The eyes, one, two.
(squawking) And lastly, the feet.
Down, down, letter C, and then a letter W, and in.
Letter C, W, and in.
Now, that's one time.
I'm gonna do it one more time and then I want you to do the remaining three on your own.
And by the time you've drawn it five times, you'll be amazed you can draw it every single time.
So let's draw it one more time together.
Over, down, out, and in.
Down, and up.
Add the tail feather.
The break.
And the eyes.
One, two.
Around for the feet, around for the other foot.
It's okay if each time it changes a little bit, the point is to practice.
It's a very important lesson in drawing, because practice makes pretty good.
Nobody's perfect.
I'm still learning.
You don't have to be the best in the world, just be the best you that you can be.
This has been a cartoon quick draw from Cartoon Academy.
