Know How to draw a simple sketch
Don’t have time for elaborate, perfectly shaded drawings? If you’re just bored with nothing to do, or you like to draw but don’t like fancy things, you should sketch. Sketching is a great way to express your feelings or create a quick doodle.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive in-depth drawing guide, as there are absolutely no rules for drawing/sketching. These are just a few tips to make your sketching experience fast, least painful, and fun. I hope you enjoyed my guide and found it useful.
- First, think of a sketch of your plan. Picture it in your head, and if you can, rotate it in your head to get a better understanding of what you’re about to draw.
- Find shapes like circles, squares, triangles, etc. related to. This will help with the shading process and even help you draw better sketches if you understand the basic shapes to draw.
- Position yourself comfortably. If you’re uncomfortable, your painting will look worse than it should, so find a nice chair, fix the lighting and put on some favorite music.
- Good Hands: How does this help? If your hands are sticky, wet or cold, your hands won’t perform as well as they should.
- Position your paper: This comes with comfort, so place your paper at an angle you feel comfortable with. There is no set method.
- If your item is small, place it in front of you where it can be effectively sketched. If it’s something big, like a car or a tree, grab a clipboard, sit down, and start sketching.
- Start drawing.
- Starting from one side of the object , use the pencil to draw soft strokes lightly back and forth across the paper, briskly. If you make a mistake, then you can easily wipe off the light wire.
- Be sure to always look up your subject and compare the two. Don’t do blind outlines (trying to stare at your subject while drawing) , while this is good for practicing drawing, it distorts your drawing very badly.
- Don’t be afraid to use an eraser. If you think you’ve drawn lines that are too close or too far away, erase them. Too many sketch lines on a drawing can make your drawing look distorted. Crossing the same line multiple times will darken it and make it harder to erase if you think it’s wrong.
- Finishing touch: After finishing, if necessary, you can pick up the eraser to remove the outlined lines. For added value, shade them on your sketch in darker shaded parts of the objects you’re drawing. From very dark, gradually brightening to very bright shades.
- To add more spice, add a poorly sketched (but not bad looking) background. It will make your drawing look better and add some theme to it.
- Add your signature! Traditionally, after the sketch, the artist would lightly add their signature (yes, cursive) to the bottom right corner of their drawing. You can also add something like ’13 to it if you want.
