Curved lines play a very important part in fine arts especially if you are drawing something from nature like animals, trees, flowers or maybe a person. Mostly we try to draw using contour lines where we follow the outline trying to match the shape of the object.

It can be very hard to be proficient in this technique and might take years of practice, it can be frustrating especially for little artists:) and to avoid that we can use this simple technique where we join multiple straight lines to form a curve!

Take the flower vase picture above for example, even though the picture hardly has any straight lines, we can still identify a bunch of major straight lines that can be smoothened to give it the soft effect!

Also check out how to identify the following cat portrait into a bunch of straight lines joined and smoothened together!

So, we basically, would draw using a bunch of straight lines and then smoothen out the edges where the lines meet to give it a natural look!

Take the example below to see how I used geometric shapes and straight lines to draw a cute little duck!

Check out the video below to learn more on how to draw like this!!

Even though, this technique might also take some time to master, it is definitely easier than doing contour or outline drawings, especially for complicated pictures!

Keep practicing and enjoy your Work because there is no wrong answer in Art!!
