Improve techniques and solve problems

Hey guys. Today I want to tell you on how to improve and solve the problem in sketching.

Design is a fast and easy way to start dragging the ordinary and is an invaluable record details for future painting projects. Unfortunately, sometimes even the design leaves much to be desired.
Here is a quick training to get better results .. Quick book may encourage you to plan your bags more fun when you leave home or go on vacation.

Paper

One of the first areas we can look at is the paper you are using. For the sketch above, a smooth 150g/m acid free cartridge paper was used. Nice paper, but it doesn’t add anything to your sketch. I would first recommend using some textured paper. This will help with the lines we draw so they are not so smooth and uniformed resulting in a lot more mood in our sketch.

Line drawing practice

Beginners tend to draw their images with only one or maybe two types of line.. straight and thick & straight. We need to remember that there are so many textures we will need to depict that we will need more than this one type of stroke in our repertoire to really get some sort of feeling in our sketch.

Before you start on your pen/ink sketch try doing some pencil exercises to get you familiar with using different strokes and ways of showing the various parts of say, an old cottage like in our sketch.

Drawing windows can sometimes be tricky. Trying to portray glass can be a challenge. Try the exercise and rather than just drawing the window frames, color the panes darker to give the window depth.
Also, make sure you draw in the window frames, not just a cross.. colored in or not.. this will make your windows much more realistic.
