When creating sketches, only 2 techniques are used - this is shading an object and shading strokes in different ways. If they draw with markers, they blur the dark tone with a lighter one.

When taking the first steps in drawing, it is better to follow the work algorithms that were drawn up by professionals. This will reduce mistakes and develop the necessary skills.

They always start with an easy one.

1. A circle is drawn with a simple pencil, the lower contour is not drawn, but outlined with light shading.
2. From the bottom of the center of the circle upward, smooth curved lines are drawn in a row.
3. The upper part of the circle is separated by a wavy curve - this will be the head of the wave. A small shuttlecock is outlined in the middle.
4. The foam is drawn.
5. Carefully trace the outline with a pencil, and then with a liner.

Color drawings require more careful preparation.

1. They choose the right shades, for this they paint the palette.
2. Sketch with a simple pencil.
3. The contour is outlined with a liner.
4. Soft pinks create soft highlights.
5. Cherry is painted over with bright scarlet, and pink around the edges.
6. The bottom half is filled with red.
7. They are brought in dark red. Above, paint over the shadow from the twig.
8. Blurred at the junction of tones with bright red.
9. The petiole is painted bright green, the leaf - light green, leaving several white spots.
10. Along the edge of the sheet, they are tinted, veins are brought in.
11. The edge is painted over with brown, under the berry I make the shadow in a gray tone.

The choice of images for a sketchbook is very wide: these are Food sketches, mandalas for meditation, cute animals, bouquets, buildings - the list goes on and on.

As a rule, any sketch in color includes:

1. applying a contour base with a pencil;
2. selection of shades and painting over the picture.

It is necessary to choose the right shades, place highlights, darken and lighten certain areas. This is the only way to create a vivid and vivid picture.

Let's see how best to approach the creation of different types of images.

At the first stage, a pencil sketch is created, then the drawing is painted.

• Background first. The sky is blue, the field and trees in the distance are green. They create a smooth transition of colors.
• The trees are outlined and drawn in black, adding horizontal strokes on the trunks.
• In the foreground, the strokes lie horizontally, and on the side of the fence - at an angle.
• Crowns of trees. The bright pink spots are applied first, and then the orange color is distributed.

Beginners can try drawing silhouettes. It is much easier to sketch them than a full figure. This will be a great workout. Sometimes such images are filled with a uniform background, such as a starry sky.

Professional artists suggest acting according to an algorithm.

1. They draw a circle, in the lower part they extend to an oval - this will be the face.
2. The oval is divided into 5 parts: 1 with a vertical line marks the center of the face, 4 - horizontal lines are drawn on the vertical axis.
3. On the uppermost horizontal line, then eyebrows will be drawn, the second is drawn under the eyes, the tip of the nose is located on the third, and the lip fold on the fourth line.
4. The distance between the eyes is equal to the width of 1 eye.
5. A gap is made between the lower lip and the chin, which is equal to the width of 1 eye.
6. The ear is placed in the space from the upper eyelid to the tip of the nose.
7. The edge of the hair is often placed at the same distance above the edge as the chin fold.

In order to draw a silhouette of a person, an algorithm is used.

1. Choose a figure pose, and make sketches. Usually at this stage, the silhouettes are composed of lines.
2. Draw up a sketch in simple geometric shapes (circle, square, oval, triangle and others).
3. They add details: outline clothes, hair, facial features. Delete the sketch grid.
4. They draw clearly the contours and faces.
5. They create shadows and partial shades, paint the setting.

Drawing hair, especially when portraying a girl with long curls, is a painstaking task.

Several rules.

1. First, outline the contours of the hairstyle.
2. Fragments are drawn, which are then broken down into smaller details.
3. Often, curly hair is textured, and straight hair is uniform.
4. Several types of lines are always used: wide and bright, thin and shaded.
5. Curls and braids are drawn more carefully.
6. For colorful design, it is recommended to use several shades.

1. Markers - this is not watercolor: mixing 2 colors does not get the 3rd one.

2. Sharp fine tip - "bullet" - used for contour and small fills.

3. Wide nib - "chisel" - for filling large parts.

4. Flexible brush - Gives the effect of a watercolor brush with a smooth transition in tones.

5. Gray and brown tones help create a difference in shade over the same color.

6. Three to four tones of each color light to dark gives a more natural, smooth transition from light to shadow.

Fresh ink often appears on the back of a sheet, with an extra sheet under the image below. Tracing paper or blotting paper can also be useful for overlaying the drawing so as not to stain the sheet.

There is a special paper for drawing with markers, it is thicker in composition, but at a price quite expensive and quickly consumed. The best in terms of density are Leuchtturm1917 sketchbooks.
