The cable should be even and smooth, the ends of the wires should be light, the middle should be heavy, and the spacing between wires should be even and natural.

Fourth, understand the basic five tones of sketch, which will be mentioned in the basic book and observed by yourself.

Introduction to gouache

The first question: Gouache reflects the sense of color, mainly whether it will make the picture beautiful. It is suggested to use the new [Cloodt] Gome Grey series gouache, which is aimed at novices and makes it easier for novices to learn colors and get in touch with advanced grays.

The second question: sketch should accurately grasp the shape, but color should also grasp the shape. The difference is the same as the first answer.

The third question: be careful not to make the picture dirty, angry, chaotic and broken. These are all problems that beginners often make.

The fourth question: maintenance is actually very simple. Remember to wash the pen after use, and then dry it with a towel. Don't soak the pen in water for a long time.
