3. Steps to produce attractive sketches
People usually like to draw or sketch something, but mostly they don’t know how to
draw beautifully and they don’t know how to improve it. People who enjoy drawing,
during their free time or even when they are in class room or while thinking, take a pen
or pencil and draw whatever they have in their mind. Actually sketching in some course
in university or college like architecture and design is very important. There are many
ways that people who really like to draw or sketch beautifully, can do. There are three
steps that people can fallow to produce attractive sketch, which the first one is drawing
basic, the second one is concepts the person should master and the last one is
materials, recording, and timed drawing.
At first you should start by drawing basics, for this you can begin drawing every simple
object you see or common objects and try to progress them more complicated. The
better you get at drawing real-life objects, the better you'll eventually be at putting ideas
on paper. Another thing that you can do, is Drawing as often as you can, because The
more you practice, the better you'll get. For example when you are doing something that
your hand is free, like being on the phone. For starting you can bring paper and pencil
and then start drawing basic shapes, because practicing them will help you for harder
and more complicate drawings.So drawing basics strong your base for harder and more
complicated drawings.
Next step is concepts that you should master which you can make a rough sketch. Don’t
start with one part of an object and try to start with the whole thing and then go through
the details of it, otherwise your drawing ends up looking unattractively imbalanced. You
also can elaborate on your sketch and use darker line to bring out the parts of the
drawing you need, and use an eraser to take out the lines you don't need. Add details,
bit by bit, making sure to frequently step back and look at your drawing as a whole to
make sure it's coming along the way you want it to. Learn and experiment with several
techniques, which can enhance your ability to express ideas through drawing. Beside
that you can add touches of realism, because when you want to draw cartoons or
caricatures, you have to try to appear it realistic in your drawing. When you are drawing
something making it realistic is very important, so you need to practice more and fallow
some rules.
4. The last steps to produce attractive sketches are materials, recording, and timed
drawing. As a beginner you need to know what you need to start out, for instance
sketch paper will probably work best; very smooth paper will give you better detail, but
"toothier" paper holds the graphite from your pencil better. One of the best things that
can help you is keeping work. Try to keep your drawings then you can see your
progress and understand that which parts need to improve. Try a timed gesture
drawing. If you find yourself struggling with proportion, annoyed that your poses are stiff
and worst of all making and mistakes that your conscious mind knows better not to do,
this is a great way to break that cycle. There are the things that can affect your drawings
but they are not about your drawing skills.
So to there are many steps to produce attractive sketches but are they really enough?
Actually practicing is the best and the most important step for improving drawing or
sketching but beside that you need to fallow these steps: drawing basics, concepts you
should masterand supplyingmaterials, recording, and timed drawing. With allowing
these steps everyone who is interested in drawing, can draw beautifully.
