I wonder where to start teaching myself how to sketch?

Sketching is the basic skill of learning art, to be solid, buy some still life book to copy first, start from the things around you, such as apples and the like, copy a pair and then sketch a pair, compare the differences, compare learning, there are a few still life sketches on the contact with a little more difficult, start to copy plaster and even real people, of course, still life plaster painting more, anything can be, the foundation must be solid!

Buy a copy of "The Trick of Sketching" This book is good and suitable for you, and it is best not to buy domestic sketch books from abroad

You can go and buy a translated sketchbook! It's boring to draw... Be persistent!!

If you don't have the pressure to take the exam, it is recommended that you start with a sketch, draw more things that interest you, and then copy more. Buy a classic book, I recommend "** Academy of Fine Arts Affiliated High School Classics 50 Years", you just need to take this book seriously, you are definitely a master.

The general order is geometry, still life, plaster, human head, bust, full-body portrait.

Draw geometric plaster body first, this is the most basic, you can practice lines, you can also practice perspective, skipping this step to paint still life directly is very unscientific, it is recommended that you buy a few, because you can draw different angles, more flexible than the book, start with the structure of the painting, not on the tone, in the pursuit of their own style of painting, if you follow the normal steps, the next is still life, plaster head, pirate, Voltaire, belongs to the simpler, from here, different angles of painting. Then you can connect a real person's avatar. Belch..

It seems too prescriptive.。。 But learning to draw is like that, it's hard.

Buy sketch books to copy, practice lines, proportional composition, etc. Sketching is mainly depicted by lines, the lines should be straight and smooth, the pen can not be heavy or light, the pen can not be heavy or light, the rat tail line This is the wrong line], understand some basic knowledge of sketching. Lines matter.

Then put some things on your own, try to sketch, like teacups, bottles, chairs, and so many more.

I firmly believe in the importance of the foundation, and draw geometry.

First of all, observe more about what is the theme, what is the background, and what background affects the topic.

Buy professional books and learn formal methods, it is best to find a teacher or friend to bring it After getting started, it is easy to say.

Buy a sketchbook, Pro! Pro! Pro! ~

Observe, observe, observe. Then you can draw some geometric shapes.
