I was one of those who learned to draw self-taught. Supported with today's increasingly sophisticated, apart from the book now bnyak positive things that we can through the virtual world. But there are constraints when we learn self-taught, because nobody is patronizing us directly and sometimes it makes it hard to improvise what we already know, and even unconsciously we will make the same mistake for a long time.
In this post I will share some tips, and some mistakes when drawing that must be repaired and often we do not realize
- Sensitive to small deficiencies.
We should be able to build a better progress every time you create your new masterpiece. Check out your work that you have done some time ago, and look with the eye of the jelly and realize its the slightest shortcomings. We need a mistake to learn.
When you realize many mistakes in your previous work, do not try to fix them all at once. Focus on one and most importantly "Enjoy the drawing". - Adequate lighting.
If you are a drawing with your right hand, then the light must come from the left so that the shadow does not fall on the paper in front of your pencil and block the process of drawing you.
When drawing we should be in a place with enough light, no less and no exaggeration. Of course if in a dark place will be uncomfortable, and you need to know if exposed to the excessive light of the pencil you have scratched will look shiny, and you will be more difficult to distinguish the gradation or value of your pencil during the drawing process. - Pay attention to cleanliness.
At the time of drawing, you should alasi the part of your hand that touches the paper with a tissue or other paper. It aims to keep your hands from contaminating the paper. Not that after you wash your hands, your hands will not dirty the paper. But the cause is oil or sweat that comes out of the skin of your hand that can dirty the paper. In addition if you draw with the right hand start drawing from the left.
