Sketch techniques for beginners

Sketch techniques for beginners..! 

Hello..This one is my first blog. I never thought before to write a blog. Sketching is much more than an art. Here, I drew sculpture of God Vishnu. It reminds me of an ancient time's touch, while I was drawing it, there's nothing more frustrating than trying to make a clean-looking drawing that loses its brilliance and value thanks to constant smudging. So let's start with our first issue..! 

    Smudging 

When shading, use an extra piece of paper underneath your hand. This will minimize the amount your hand smudges your pencil lines. 

Sculpture of God Vishnu 

Use an extra piece of paper under your hand to avoid smudging your work. 

 If you're right-handed, start shading from left to right. That will smoother your shading and make it much more realistic.

 if you're left-handed, start at the right and move to the left. same as mentioned above that would be easier and faster.

 Except from that please put paper peace under your hand so your sketch would be safe from your perspire hahaha..! You can do this with several tools. I use a simple piece of tissue paper to get the job done. 
Let's peep into our second issue... Control of your hand! 


Control of hand 

 If you position your hand closer to the end of the pencil, you have more control and precision, but heavier strokes.

Gripping further up will give you lighter strokes and less control. So its up to you how to use pencil in your sketch areas because its an important part of sketching. 


Scraped 

 After finishing your sketch Scraped your sketch with 
soft tissue paper or you can use your fingers. 

 This will give your sketch more realistic effects and smooth touch.  But be carefull because over scrapping could damaged your sketch and make it look ugly. 

So,start your first step toward sketching...!
