I now move into the chaotic water. Although it may appear tumbling and unruly, the water has form and structure, with distinct shapes I identified in the initial drawing. I take each water shape as it comes, using brushstrokes that mimic the rhythm and movement I not only see, but feel.

I tried a second sketch of the same subject on 8in by 10in cheap cartridge paper. It started off with water soluble pencils, but went horrible wrong when I came to flatten the graphite with water. I was going to abandon it, but went for the panpastels and started throwing in blacks with a sofft tool.

I used the sponge to model a little more of the midtones, and whilst areas like the cranium and ear could have done with a bit more work it was good to salvage something.

When looking at the originals, you need to squint and break down the values into light, dark and mid-tone. I painted the tones using a slightly oversized watercolour brush. Initially I dipped it straight into the ink bottle and laid down all the darkest tones in as few brush strokes as possible, afterwards diluting the ink with water to a mid-toned grey, leaving the white of the paper for the lights. The result is an instant impression and a basic breakdown of the overall composition. This provides a great means for studying, because these old masters have already done all the hard work for you, and in practicing you gain a better eye for how they composed their tones to create an impact.

When a friend returned from a trip to Spain bearing a gift for my young son, bemusement and a smidgen of jealousy fell upon me. Little did I know that Playmobil produced none other than Albrecht Drer, the famous Nuremberg painter.

Undoubtedly trees can be tricky to draw. Their organic, seemingly haphazard forms demand attention and perhaps more crucial still is incorporating these organic masses into a well-balanced, compositional drawing. Even the best drawn trees will suffer if the overall design of the drawing is not well considered; sometimes that means playing with references (whether from life or photography, though observation from life is certainly preferential to gain an understanding of the three dimensionality of trees).

ArtGraphica has been a champion of charcoal in its use for drawing for many years. Its speed, tone, and malleability are hard to rival. Even the hardest up of artists (and as we all know artists are generally pretty skint!) can usually afford to purchase a few sticks, or failing that you can always go out into nature and make your own charcoal.

Illustrated with videos, this two part lesson is available free on the website. If you wish to learn how to draw and sketch trees in nature, using a product made directly from trees, then please check out the online tutorial: DRAWING TREES.

I really want to learn to draw/ sketch/ paint but I feel I have no good sources to teach me. I'm horrible at drawing and feel most things I find on the internet aren't very helpful, what's a good step to begin? Any tips will be appreciated.

I am going to start a drawing and painting today but I have a question first pls. I would like to sketch my drawing in pencil and paint directly over with oil paint (Winsor Newton) however I am concerned that the pencil will smudge. I also have pastel pencils. Would these work better?

Another approach is to apply fixative. This is a thin clear film sprayed on over the sketch. Fixative is obtainable in spray can format at art supply stores. It is used as a final protective coat over charcoal and pastel drawings, but it can also be used to protect preparatory sketches from smudging when painted over in oils.

Last I sketched on a canvas, I used a charcoal pencil, then erased almost all of it with a kneaded eraser. What was left, did not smudge with the paints, even when I used very light yellow/white paints into the edge. :thumbsup:

I never NEVER use a regular graphite pencil to draw out my acrylic paintings. I use one of three methods: transfer paper, a white charcoal pencil, or a water-soluble graphite pencil.

Jennifer Orkin Lewis (aka @augustwren) encourages experimentation with a one-page tutorial at the beginning of each month that outlines accessible ways to draw with different materials, such as ballpoint pens, colored pencils, paint, and collage. Coupled with sections of varying paper types, there is an unlimited canvas available to flourish artistically; brown craft paper pairs well with black ink and white pencil, black paper is great for white and metallic gel pens, and heavy white paper is included for painting.

If you're looking for a way to explore the world of illustration and design, then Paper is the app for you. It wasn't designed to be a drawing app but rather a photo album with a few drawing tools. You can draw directly on top of your photos using different colours, shapes, and textures. It's a great place to experiment with different looks and feels. Since it's a solo project, it can sometimes be difficult to switch back and forth between editing a design and trying out a new sketch. However, with Paper, you can add photos one by one, without having to move your original image. This makes it much easier to work on multiple designs simultaneously. It also helps if you're looking for some quick and dirty sketches to send to a client. Instead of fiddling with the interface on a bulky laptop, you can use your iPhone's smaller display to its advantage.

SketchBook by Autodesk is a free sketching app on your iPhone with great features to help you conceptualise and draw. The app comes with perspective guides, vanishing point lock, snapping toggle, and horizon line visibility.

For those who are looking for a quick and easy way to draw, then Brushes is the app for you. It has a minimalist design that was inspired by the simplicity of a real-life drawing tool. The best part is that it's completely free. You don't need to pay a penny to use it. It's simply a matter of connecting the iPhone's camera to your Mac or PC and loading up the app. Once that's done, you can start drawing on-the-go.

Brushes is a great tool for anyone who needs a quick sketch or wants to doodle during a boring conference call. Since it's designed for use with a camera, it has all of the essential drawing tools you need to get started. You don't need to perform a complex setup process to use it. Just load up the app, set your camera, and get to work.

Hi Erika, thank you for posting this blog. With so many things in life, we often want to walk before we can crawl. Technique is a vital part of becoming more efficient in art, may it be painting or drawing, and it is something many of us overlook.


I absolutely agree that it is essential to know how to draw first before moving on to painting. Drawing teaches us how to understand value which is the gradation from light to shade. It is essential to master value before we can add color.

Hey, there!

Thanks so much for checking out this post and taking time to leave your valuable comment. 

It's so true. Many, if not most of us, want to jump over the basics and the fundamentals when learning something new, which oftentimes just ends up hindering us from making the progress we could be making, or to us hitting a wall.

So many of the fundamentals are learned and practiced via drawing/sketching, such as value, perspective, and our ability to recreate effective proportions, etc. 

Lots of people see drawing and painting as completely separate things, but I've always seen them as parts of the same process. 

Thanks so much for sharing and have a great day!

I believe learning how to draw is important before you start doing Painting, because eventually you would need a sketch to fill it with paint. So if you don't know how to draw then you would need someone else help to draw it for you, so you can paint.

I never took into account the fact that a realistic drawing can be achieved by practicing first on grayscale. I have never been the creative one in our family, but I would love to at least try and improve what I have as a hobby. So I will follow your advice and get art supplies for a grayscale type of drawing and see where it will take me next year.

Hi, Mia!

Thanks so much for reading and taking time to leave your valuable comment.

Yes, practicing in grayscale is SO powerful when we're looking to improve the realism in our drawings or paintings. This is because value is key for realism. If we're not able to recreate values effectively via grayscale, or one single color, it's going to be way more difficult to do so when lots of different colors come into play. 

Practicing with black and white photos and simple drawing pencils (or one single paint color), is something I often recommend to beginners. 

Have a wonderful day and wish you tons of progress moving forward in your art journey in 2023! 17dc91bb1f
