1. Geometric figure
When beginners see complex shapes, such as people, animals, plants, etc., they will feel difficult and frustrated, and then they would not draw. Through taking apart an object as geometric figures, it will help us have the concept of basic angles and perspectives on the people and things we want to paint. After doing this practice, you would not get into a panic when drawing complex shapes. And you can quickly disassemble to understand the appearance of the form, and know-how to draw it!
2. Express the light and shadow of simple objects
All the practices are painting shapes from the last article "Want to learn to draw? 4 simple practices for beginners" to the first practice in this article.
After you are experienced in drawing basic shapes, it will be faster and easier to learn how to add other details. This practice is for you to start observing the simple light and shadow changes, and to express the light and shadow by grasping the density of lines. It will help you understand how to increase the level and three-dimensionality of objects when you are painting.
3. Expand the database of computers and your brain
After learning to draw shapes and basic shadows, we already have basic drawing skills, and the ability to observe and think is one of the most important skills in various fields. Of course, painting is no exception! And this is your favorite practice, because the painting themes that everyone likes are different, this practice will focus on your own favorite theme! First of all, the first step in expanding the database is to find image materials for your favorite topics. For example, photos and pictures are the easiest to obtain and save. As draw human body dynamics, architecture, various scenes, environmental light, and shadow, etc. The second step is to strengthen your brain database! Now that we have a lot of reference pictures, we can practice taking apart the structure, understanding the principles, and drawing them. It is to scribe the information in our brains to build a database in our heads!
