Learn How To Draw Tips 

Some simple basic tips to start developing drawing skills

Get two pieces of paper one being a very lite tracing paper that is easy to see through.

On the solid white paper draw a square that is rougly the size of the image you are going to draw.

Sub-divide this square into 4-equal parts and sub-divide each of the 4 parts into 4 smaller parts.

Now place your tracing paper over the solid white paper and lightly trace out the outline, transferring the grid you just created on the solid white paper to the tracing paper.

Now place the tracing paper over the image you are going to draw (you can hold the tracing paper in place with masking tape).

Now your ready to start your drawing exercise!
You will focus your attention in the upper left square of the image that is bounded by the first square.

On the solid white paper you will begin to lightly draw in the upper left square what is bounded in the upper left square of the tracing paper (take your time examine the square before you begin to draw, gage where the lines begin and end within the square).

It is imperatve that you do not focus on details at this point, but just on the general large features of the image.

Once you have finished with one square you will move on to the next square and the next square after that until the entire image has been copied to the solid white paper.

At this point you should have something that closely resembles the original image, if you took your time and gaged the lines fairly accurately. If not you can start fresh with a new sheet of paper.

Remember as with all things but particularly with art and music practice, practice, practice makes perfect.
Once the general outline looks good you will then begin to add some detail to the entire drawing.

If everything looks ok then yo will add more details and continue till it is time to add shadows for the finishing touches.

Supplies that you will need: 

1 - 2H pencil or regular soft lead pencil to start with
1 - soap eraser
tracing paper
white drawing paper or white typing paper

You can purchase Art Supplies Here at a very affordable price. Find sketch pads, port folios, art pencils, paints, acrylics, coloring & media sets, beginners drawing kits, pro art sets and more!

(The grid structure is there to help build your eye-hand coordination).
