Hi, I'm Pilino, welcome to open this article, have fun!
"Where do I start learning to draw when I don't have any background knowledge?"
We often hear this question on forums and social networks. A lot of people ask me the same question. Of course, you have to start with the basics, to understand that whatever you learn, you have to start with the basics, just like you learn to walk, if you don't know how to walk, how can you learn to run, jump or ride a bike?
Start learning how to draw for beginners
There are two kinds of people who learn to draw, one is those who love to draw since childhood, and like to use comics or graffiti works to express their creativity and ideas; One is that when I grew up, I became interested in the art of painting and began to learn to paint from scratch. They have a strong desire to express themselves, and the colors and shapes in their paintings are generally rich and expressive, but they are often unrestricted, unconventional, and freewheeling, and it is difficult to easily change their habits even with the guidance of teachers.
The second type of people are like a blank sheet of paper, they are interested in art and begin to teach themselves by watching videos on Tik Tok or other social networks, but are bored with their paintings and cannot stand the boring practice of sketching. Both of these conditions were not properly trained from the start.
1. Beginners should use a pencil first.
The pencil is still the most basic and perfect tool to start your artistic journey.
Pencil is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to quickly draw your first doodle on paper and then erase it easily. Most artists will sketch with pencil for inspiration, composition, and light.
In fact, everyone can choose different tools according to their preferences and specialties, such as pens, charcoal, markers, calligraphy pens, needle pens, and so on. You can try different pens and experience the features of each tool. But the pencil is still the most basic and perfect tool for you to start your artistic journey.
2. Persist in pursuing your interests and never give up
Many people decide to learn to draw, some for a week, some for a day, or even give up after less than half an hour. Why? It's not that I haven't found the joy of drawing. The initial stages of painting are boring and frustrating, so you have to keep yourself in a positive state and figure out what to pay attention to during the painting process. If you're on the right track and you're making progress, you'll be happy to keep doing it.
3. More practice can make you learn better
Practice often determines the effectiveness of learning.
After all, there are very few people who have a talent for drawing, and most learners need to practice hard, and only hard practice will witness your growth.
4. The secret to drawing a good sketch
The three key points of composition, light and shadow, and perspective should be mastered well.
Sketching starts with the first composition, as is the case with all paintings, and then pays attention to the two points of light and shadow and perspective. For beginners, it's enough to focus on layout.
5. Ways to improve and enhance your drawing skills

Copying sketching is a popular way to learn to paint, and copying some of the best works of the Old Masters can put beginners directly on the right path to painting.
Sketching is a great practice and practice that can help you improve your skills and generate personal creativity, and sketching is the best way to become a good painter. Also, pay attention to the combination of skill and artistic eye level.
People with a high level of artistic eye, but low skill need more practice to improve their skills. On the contrary, people with high skills but low level of artistic eye need to improve their artistic eye level. Seeing more works of masters or watching some art exhibitions will help improve the level of artistic vision and make our works more vivid and creative.

6. Points to note about color
To understand color, we must first understand that there is no color without light; Human perception of color is the perception of light waves through the eyes. There is no concept of a fixed color for the object itself, it is always changing, depending on the color of the light source, the surrounding environment.
– Hue: is defined as a color series or color name (e.g. blue, green, red). Hue is directly related to the wavelength of the color.
– Chromaticity: Also known as "saturation", it is a measure of color purity or how vivid a color is.
– Brightness: Also known as "value", it is the shade or hue of a color. Areas of objects that are uniformly colored in direct light are brighter than areas in shadow.
– Cool color: Ranges from blue to violet, which is half the color wheel of the shorter wavelength. Cool colors give a cool, light, clean, and sophisticated feel.
– Warm colors: range from red to yellow, which is half of the color wheel corresponding to longer wavelengths. Warm colors are dynamic, eye-catching, and positive colors that often appear on magazine covers or billboards. #头条创作挑战赛##妙笔生花创作挑战##微头条日签##绘画##我要上头条#
