I am part of several facebook self-help groups on drawing I have also seen many emerging artists on Instagram and the thing that brings them together is often lack of basic information. So I’m going to make an article comprising 5 best drawing tips that will make your drawings 200% better.
Guidelines and basic forms.
There is à reasons why this is the first over my 5 best drawing tips. It’s thé easiest one. Anything you draw can translate into basic shapes. Whether it’s a horse or a face. It is understood that sometimes there are several forms and together. A face is made up of a circle, square which ends opposite the jaw and a triangle which will make the final shape. It’s up to you to find them. I also have exclusive exercises in my shop, which explains how to find them by yourself in order to reproduce them in order to reproduce a model. Either way, the baselines will help guide your drawing and will make sure that the two eyes are aligned in the axis or make sure that the model’s wrist does not seem to be broken in the sketch. This will also allow you to center your nose and mouth in the center of the face. A guideline can also help you draw something other than a face, I give you an example: when I was at a friend’s house who is also the mother of a child, her little daughter asked her how to draw a dolphin. She tried her best to draw the dolphin in question. Until I happen to show him that I only had to make a curved line so I could make my dolphin around and if I had the curve a bit like a crescent moon from my dolphin and by thereafter it was very easy to simply add the few additional lines or triangles for the tail and the beak. she looked at me and said “actually I should have done this line well before like that I could have done my dolphin much more easily ..” So if you want to know more about the guidelines we click here.
Line and respect for contrasts
Too often what happens is that we see an extremely thick line around the subject as if the sketch had been made with a 6b pencil or a pencil that is too thick. If we look at this image we quickly realize that what separates the background and the subject of the background is a medium color and the face and white there is no black line so it is part respect for contracts and there too it goes the other way around there are places and people who are afraid of the dark. If on the reference image it is black why make it gray? the opposite also goes with white if it is white on the image why do you persist in making it gray. Puts white.
Respect for proportions
Also, our drawing will look realistic even if we do anything. Ultimately if you calculate an important point in a face you will have, even if you want to draw it in another way, the face of the person. To do this we can do several small things so we can just go and take the basic shapes and enter proportions that we know as: that an eye is the distance that is found between the two eyes for example or even simply measure them with a ruler and a compass. if you deviate even a millimeter aside, your drawing will look disproportionate I am not talking about caricatures, but even in this style the other points of your drawing will have to be at the same proportions in order to recognize the subject.
Compostion
Too many people don’t pay enough attention to the composition of their drawings. What I mean by that is that most people focus on the subject and do nothing else. The image seems not real because it came out of all the elements. In fact, there is 3 keys thing to obseve:
The rule of 3
we should shift the subject (s) in thirds of the image this is called the rule of three.
Draw the background
Then there is the background, which is just as important which will help to make an impact. A drawing will always look much more finished because we are doing the background. Why? because it allows us to bring up our subject with real contrasts.
You say what Bokeh?
Widely used in photography, it allows you to detach your subject from the background and allows us to do the same thing in drawing. Although drawing to draw blur is an art in itself. If the focal length was very short on the photo we will also see more blurred aspects on our subject, which will allow us to spend less time drawing details where there was not even on the original.
Masking tape is not just for painting.
I told you earlier that putting a background on your image will help define your subject. This will give an even more professional look by using masking tape like tape on the contour. so when we take it off delicately, we will leave a white line all around the design.It shows us that you take the time to look after your work.
Conclusion
So if you follow my advice and follows those 5 best drawing tips well. Which mean, that you are careful with the guidelines for asking yourself. That you pay attention to the contrasts and that you really look where the light is versus the shadows. As you do your sketch, feel too much pressure on your pencil that you pay attention to the composition of your image that you take the time to draw the background and also that you put masking tape around your drawing before starting it you should have a design that looks much more finished and looks really great.
