Drawing for Beginners

Te beginning is always the hardest. And starting drawing as your hobby is no exception. Some people were born with drawing talent, others not. But don't worry if you think you belong in second group. It's known that practice can easily beat the talent!

There are many ways to teach yourself to draw, using books, internet... There are various apps for your smartphone that will teach you how to draw step-by-step. You just have to have genuine willingness and confidence, that you will quickly see tat you can draw some amazing things.

Simple Steps to get started with Process of Learning How to Draw

1. To begin with your drawing, you have to warm up a bit. Start by drawing dots, circles, squares etc. Just doodle a little bit, so your hand warms up and your strokes become more smooth. The most amazing thing when choosing drawing as your hobby is that you can draw anything you want! But that can be a minus too... With this much selection, many artists experience lack of ideas and imagination. In that case, we recommend just looking around yourself or thinking of what's important to you. And the idea will appear in no time.

2. Once you start drawing, your major concern should be to draw less. You can ignore minute details in the starting phase. Just focus on illustrating a rough sketch of what you imagined finished work will look like.

3. Once you'v started your drawing, we recoomend you not to do it all at once. Try to take your time and improve it day by day. You will quickly see that is the best to take it slow and easy.

4. Remember to be positive! There will be days when you'll feel that draiwng just isn't the right hobby for you- just DON'T GIVE UP! Do not be tempted to judge your drawings at the very start and think they're bad. This practice is generally not good. In order to accomplish an amazing piece of art, you should think positively and remind yourself that you can complete it in the most beautiful way.

5. When drawing, be sure that you're using the right pencils (we'll write about that). And it's also very important that they're sharpened properly! What is the most expensive pencil that isn't properly sharpened?

6. Always remember the quote that Practice makes a man perfect. So, never give up practicing for one day, you will find yourself sketching great drawings, if you implement regular practice.

 Now start your drawing journey with confidence and will! Just remember that if you can't achieve something the first or second time, you'll achieve it third time!
