How to draw an introductory course

Introduction to painting: know pencils, learn to draw lines, copy sketch photos, sketch photos, sketch, analyze shadows and highlights of objects, read more master works, practice and so on.

1, knows pencils.

Knowing pencils, you may ask, isn't there only one kind of pencil? I have been learning to write with a pencil since I was a child. You don't understand this. In fact, pencils have specifications, such as 2B, B, HB and so on. Only these are commonly used.

2. Learn to draw lines.

Not everyone can draw a good line. Don't despise lines just because they are simple. Sketch is made up of lines. If you despise the existence of lines, you despise the ancestors of sketches.

3. Copy and sketch photos.

After learning the lines, choose some photos you like to copy. But women, scenery, food, as long as you like.

4. Copy the sketch photos.

There is a difference between sketching and sketching. Sketch just draws a rough outline with lines, without any shadow.

5. Sketch.

Analyze the position of the object in the picture. Composition. Copy sketch, you know sketch. After copying the sketch, you will know what the sketch looks like, so start sketching. Find something you like, such as an apple, a bowl and a cup, put it in front of you and draw it as it is.

6. Analyze the shadows and highlights of the object.

After the outline is drawn, it is colored. Before painting, we need to analyze where and how big the shadows and highlights are.

7. Read more works by masters.

Improve the sense of beauty and composition. Maybe your sense of composition is not strong, or you always feel that your composition is at sixes and sevens. Then look at the master's works and see how the master composes and how the lines of the picture are laid out.

8. Practice more.

Including all kinds of copying and sketching, not limited to the same style. Hey, hey, there is a saying that stupid birds fly first. Not that you are stupid, but that you should practice more. Always practice more, do more, think more and summarize more than others.
