Drawing is a technique of sketching images on the surface with the help of ink, graphite, or charcoal among others. Follow these simple tips for improving your drawing skills.
Keep it simple: Start sketching with natural forms like flowers and plants.
Mind your Hs & Bs: For better drawing try using paper of 80 gsm and 125 gsm weight. The use of pencils can range from light marking (2H) pencils to dark marking (8B) pencils.
Go lightly: Try to sketch with a light, hard pencil. Avoid pressing too hard so that you can easily erase errors. Try to relax your hands and breathing as you sketch. Try to give a light outline to your drawing.
Throw some shade: Try to practice hatching and cross-hatching techniques in your drawing. Hatching is shading using closely spaced lines. Cross-hatching is shading using layers of hatching at different angles.
Step on the scale: Look at the object you are drawing, close one eye, and hold your pencil while drawing to make correct dimensions.
Practice and practice: To get better, practice drawing basic geometric shapes every day.
Keep the tips in mind and improve your drawing skills.
