Drawing TBC

Drawing for beginners is very easy – you just need to recognize how to get started. Drawing for Beginners often seems like a challenging task. In this editorial the primary steps to learning to draw are discussed. You’ll also find some helpful tips that can get you going drawing pictures and to make it much less complicated.

Drawing for beginners, but how?

Youngsters can draw much easier than adults. They are not thinking about what they are doing so much, but take what they see and dont question it. The more mature you get, the greater the obstacle to simply draw what is observed. But why is this? Drawing is a thing of the intellect. When I teach drawing lessons for beginners I often find students begin by thinking that their hand doesnt do what they are after. Of course this is not correct. You can write down your name? Then your hand can do all that is needed for drawing. Drawing is a thing of the mind, and whoever wants to learn to draw, the mind must be primed.

Drawing is easy!

Drawing for beginners is really simple. Take a piece of paper, and a pencil and start off. Draw a couple of zig-zag lines, circle, and possibly even a bow. Draw an unusual shape. Now try to draw like a minor. Let’s draw our hand. Draw just what you see without pondering too much about it- it is enjoyable and mentally relaxing.
Do not take yourself too seriously. Do not try to paint a masterpiece when beginning. Often the beginner fails because they fall short of their ambitions and disappointment follows. Drawing for Beginners also
means to be meek. If you put yourself under tension, you are likely to not make the grade.

Drawing for beginners often can lead to difficulty arising from picking the best materials to work with. Often individuals either pick out materials that are too economical and therefore would produce bad results even for skilled artists, whilst others go to the other extreme and purchase materials that are too extravagant and are reluctant to try out with their materials. The materials should be as easy and inexpensive as possible so that you dont have any qualms about experimenting, but not so cheap that they are impractical. Drawing for beginners often leads to students been so fearful of doing something wrong for the very reason that their paper was so overpriced. Drawing is usually very cost effective when compared with painting.

Therefore simple drawing paper that is not too small sized is ideal. I would not recommend you work on printer paper. Get a nice smooth paper sketchpad. It is so vital at the beginning not to draw only from the hand, but from all of the the arm. You should try to start on a paper that is not too hard and at the same time not too soft. I personally would recommend getting paper strength of around 120-150 grams, depending on what you have handily near you. Your neighborhood hobby or art shop should have tons of choice and would be able to recommend something to you. I recommend investing in a set of pencils with various degrees of hardness. All pencils have degrees of hardness. They run from H9 (very hard) to HB (medium) to B9 (very soft). Each type offers numerous pencil drawing possibilities. In order to know what type of pencil is best matched for you, I would recommend starting with the following pencils:

H3 (hard, light grey, little abrasion, goes readily onto the paper)

HB (medium-hard lead, dark-gray, standard, suitable for everyday writing)

B5 (soft lead, black, heavy wear, slightly hazy

You can decide to buy your pencils in several retailers or online. You should have a suitable eraser handy which is most likely to get used a lot! Get a simple, not too hard rubber so you can correct the drawing afterwards if it is needed. Of course a sharpener is also an important add on to your materials.

Cartooning is not about drawing it is about telling stories. Yes, even when you are drawing a single illustration you are telling a story. Cartooning is about expressing your thoughts. And it is your thoughts expressed beautifully through your cartoon characters that make you different from other average cartoon makers.

But as in every other field of life here also you must learn to walk first before you try running. To express your thoughts and ideas through your cartoon characters, you need to master the skill of cartoon drawing first. Then of course you can use your cartoon drawing skills to tell story to your liking.

To be skilled in cartoon drawing you have to face a learning curve. You just can’t decide to be a cartoonist then copy some popular cartoon figures and become an accomplished cartoonist who is rich and famous. If you are lucky and talented with keen sense of observation you may pickup one or two tricks by making copy of popular cartoon figures. But that is too inadequate to be of any use.

There are various ways that you can take to learn cartoon drawing –you can join cartooning school or take a home study course or follow a book of an expert cartoonist — the bottom line is you have to follow the steps. Like you should first teach yourself drawing 3d shapes, then learn to stretch, squash those 3d shapes in your drawing. Next you need to practice things like drawing hands and head before moving on to motion and emotion and advanced things like that.

If it sounds like lot of work, you are right. But what you achieve at the end is worth working for. If you are smart however you can use the tips you are going to discover here to make the whole learning process fast and painless.

1. ==> Do not start with computers. I agree I run the risk of sounding backdated. But here I am not opposing usage of computer altogether, no sane person can do that. But for beginners there is no alternative to using paper and pencil.

There are various software that help you so much that you can go ahead even without learning how to draw a smooth line. This kind of over dependency on computers from the very beginning always backfires down the road.

2. ==> Nail the fact in your mind that construction of human, animal, cars and most of the things that that we see around us are complex 3d structures though we draw them on paper which is 2D. So when drawing you must mentally analyze your model in terms of 3d shapes like spheres and boxes and not in terms of 2d shapes like circles and rectangles.

Also when you draw something from paper (i.e. 2D), look for and find out the 3d shapes that make up the character.

3. ==> Most of the cartoon drawing or figure drawing tutorials always start with some basic 3d shapes and after a number of steps end up in a complete and beautiful figure. This technique is very effective in learning how we can draw complex figures starting with simple shapes. But what I am going to tell you will make your pace of learning even faster. It is in fact very simple way of using the same tutorial. Just a lot more effective.

What you need to do is start where the tutorial ends and go backward from there. See the completed figure and try to recognize the ingredient basic shapes. And compare your analysis with the exact shapes that are used in the tutorial.

This will give you a very through exercise in recognizing the basic shapes. And after some time you will be analyzing the real life around you like an expert. Just take your time and practice this technique, and see how fast it will improve your skill in cartoon drawing.

Cartoon drawing is pure fun both for professionals who earn their living through cartooning and hobbyists who draw cartoon only for personal pleasure. I do not know what you goal is but hope the tips here will be helpful for you. Never stop learning: there are a whole lot to learn and even more fun to have in the process. Happy journey!

Tons of people pretty much every day are trying to come up with tips on how to learn to really draw a car. So what is it that’s so hard and how can you find out how to draw a car properly and make it look real? I’ll be furnishing you with some tips I’ve learnt that one can apply to your drawings and hopefully create a car that seems as if it’ll drive right off your paper!

Most car drawings that I’ve observed show me that folks lack a couple of key things when attempting to draw a car. One of them is patience. It is always obvious when someone only has spent a half-hour on a drawing that they’ve tried to compose on their own.

Drawing a car and making it look real is hard enough without having to make up every detail of your drawing. I suggest beginning drawing from a reference picture. You actually can trace right over pictures if you’d like, but this won’t help you much ultimately. You must train your brain to perceive lines and tones and be able to apply them to your drawings.

It’s a bright, colorful world…or is it?

One great tip that I use when I have trouble deciding what my drawing may need to look like is removing the color. Whenever you remove all of the color of a car photo, you’re just left with the grayscale tones that you need to replicate as part of your drawing. This makes it easier to visualize what you should do to make your car look real and accurate.

When you are doing this, observe the way the light plays on different surfaces of the car. Do you find it shiny and metallic? Dull and rubbery? What makes it look different on a photo and how would you think you can represent that with pencil and paper? Obtaining a firm understanding of this process will allow you not only learn how to draw a car very well, but also you’ll be able to draw anything you want. Great artists have become great through practice and observation. You can do the same.

Don’t go full tilt!

One thing I notice in a lot of aspiring artists and something that I was also doing is the tilting of your head. This may not seem like much but when you tilt your head, without noticing it, you are effectively offsetting the position of your drawing and you will end up with a car that slants to the left or right. To prevent this stop every couple of minutes, stand back and look at your drawing from a different view point. Ensure everything that should be horizontal is and that it isn’t leaning one way or another.

If you’re sick of your drawings looking sloppy and unrealistic and you want to learn how to draw a car the way the pros do, practice the above helpful tips and you’ll improve pretty quickly. You may also benefit from How To Draw Cars Fast and Easy.

Moreover, it can be performed by drawing the image on the sheet of acetate paper and then transferring the image on the canvas, by means of hard drawings tool, such as ball point pen.

Coloring and adding basic tones to the Portrait Illustrations are one of the trickiest jobs as you have to lay darker shades and lighter colors one after the other. Some portrait illustrators prefer using mid-tones on the canvas, which are neither too dark nor too light. Their utmost preference is to paint the background with a least one solid color because the dark tones and hues of the portrait, appear more realistic. Moreover, addition of redness to the facial features such as nose and cheeks makes the portrait look warmer. The areas under the eyebrows, nose and chin must be painted using red-brown shades. Whereas, the upper ridges of the eyebrows, cheeks and upper lips must be colored with lighter tones as such facial features catch most of the light. The adding textures to the areas of the face like hair, ink pens are of great advantage.
Portrait Illustration is a slow medium and requires a great amount of endurance. If you are bored, never scribble the Portrait Illustration rather, take some time out and come back when you are ready to continue.
