Notes: Boring Ol' Sketchbook of a Neophyte

[darktiste]

try to work with more assurance but stay loose instead of putting your pencil directly on the paper for example drawing a circle hover the paper in a circular motion when you feel confident put the pen(cil) on the paper and make 1 full circle then continue for a other turn and a third but try to adjust the form so it more of a cercle make sure not to press to hard on the pencil so you can erase it if after that you still not satisfied with the result.Try to find the right eye hand coordination speed to make the circle if you go to fast you may end up with a oval if you go to slow the line will have ''stress'' which mean each little movement the hand make will be draw imagine like a seismograph reading .

Trick for good sketch

1.Draw line and circle before any drawing attempt

3.Find light and shadow apply them on the form if you make a drawing from imagination find the best lightsource to show the personality or atmosphere you want to showcase.

4.Pay special attention to proportion,the head,the hand and the foot and specialy perspective

5.Keep the detail for the end

6.Sketch a lot
