How to learn to draw

You want to carry out a children's dream - learn to draw. Or help your child develop the ability. It is not necessary to finish art school or hiring a teacher, you can do it yourself. On the contrary, you can morely develop exactly what you lack. For this not so much, only a desire and every day find a little time.

1
There are no people who have absolutely missing talent, even the most scanty skills will be able to develop. The main thing is to understand why you do not come out, reasons. The first one worth working is the eye. If it is impossible to convey the similarity of the subject, it means that you have "hit the sight". You can not seize the right proportions. But you are not alone, it is fixable. In solving this problem, you will help copy pictures. You choose any you like, it is advisable to print it. Just draw it, the size of the picture must match the selected motive. How to check, it turned out or not: apply your work and a picture with which painted. Contours agreed? No, then again. Bored draw the same thing, take different stories. Each attempt is a small step to the goal.

The second way to adjust the eye meter - outline. Draw everything you see. Quickly, not measuring, always keep a notebook and pen or pencil. Or maybe you like to draw coal more? You can use it. The main thing is a lot and often. Probably, each house has a beautiful vase or just a cup. You can draw trees or passersby, it does not matter if it does not work. Do not throw away failures, then you will not compare the result with. Look your first sketch after the hundredth, you will be pleasantly surprised.

3
Also, sketches and sketches are developing a motility of hands. Just your brushes are not yet accustomed to the pencil, so the line curve or uncertain, scanty. Constantly drawing, you liberate yourself and your hand.

4
You have already asked all paper in the house with copies and sketches. Drawings are similar, the line is alive. But sometimes you have to postpone the drawing, due to the fact that items do not fit in the sheet, you do not know how to properly place items in the format. It's time to deal with the basics of the composition.

5
It is logical that it is necessary to combine objects, based on the size of the sheet, and not the natural size of the subject. For training we take still life. You can put your own, one main thing should be present in it, the largest thing - a vase, a jug or a kettle and a pair of secondary, small - a cup, an apple.

6
First, it is necessary to determine how to place the format - horizontally or vertically. Go from your still life, never draw back. Otherwise you will not see the picture as a whole. Separate vision is the big problem of many artists, and it is necessary to fight it in the starting. So, bring forward a hand with a pencil, cover one eye and measure the width ratio to height. If the height is greater - placing the sheet vertically, if the width is greater or equal to the height - horizontally.

7
Watch the horizon line - your table, items should stand on the plane. Next, the components of items, in still life, usually use such a rule. From the side of the shade - more space, from the light side, respectively less. This balances work. We leave a little less space from above than below. Again, if you draw, for example, a portrait, then leave more space not from the side of the shadow, and depending on where your nature looks.

8
So that the items were voluminous, not flat - one contour is not enough. It is necessary to fill items with a touch, tone. Color, if paints. Here you already need to know and understand the foundations. On the one hand, you have a light source, it means that on the other on the subject shadow, do not forget about the shadow under the subject. Never start your drawing with the details. Handles on a jug or human nostrils, outline a common mass, the whole form and just already look for smaller forms.

9
Each form, even the most difficult, consists of geometric forms, so you should study them as they are properly built and go into perspective, it will noticeably facilitate your work.

Never give the "Stop" command to your imagination. Do not prohibit yourself to draw what you want and where you want. Today you think that you will not work out, and tomorrow you can already be one of the best artists of our time. The main thing is not to throw, if something does not work.
