To draw step by step, here is a simple guide to follow:
- Warm up and practice hand-eye coordination with loose sketches.
- Start with basic shapes like circles, rectangles, and triangles to form the rough outline of the subject.
- Use light lines to sketch the basic shapes and proportions.
- Refine the drawing by checking angles, edges, and correct proportions. Add solid and definitive contour lines.
- Add details, textures, shadows, and highlights sparingly to bring volume and depth.
- Practice quick gestural sketches of different subjects repeatedly to build fluidity and hand-eye coordination.
- Continue practicing regularly to improve skills and confidence in drawing.
The key is to break down complex objects into simple shapes, observe carefully, and refine gradually from loose sketches to detailed drawings with practice over time.
