Develop an eye for the visual – Golden Secret No.19

Drawing is more than just putting lines on paper—it’s about seeing, analyzing, and understanding the world visually. In this latest episode of The Golden Secrets of Drawing, we dive into the art of developing your eye for detail and pattern recognition. Our brains are natural pattern-seeking machines, but most of us overlook key visual information. By practicing drawing, you train yourself to see beyond the surface, appreciating the richness of both the natural and created world.

The old saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” holds true because images contain vast amounts of information. The more you practice looking and drawing, the more you’ll notice what was once invisible to you.

So, grab a pencil—any pencil—and start sketching! How about a lighthouse? And don’t forget to subscribe to the Shoo Rayner Drawing Channel for more tips, lessons, and creative inspiration.
