How to draw with pencil?

  1. Carefully choose the type of pencil. HB is good for beginners. Even in class you use these. Here you can see how soft or hard the pencils are.
  2. Make an outline. If you are advanced, you are capable of drawing without them. But first, the structure facilitates orientation.
  3. Then learn different strokes! The easiest is the hatching!
  4. At the same time you can also learn the shading. This makes your drawings even more interesting. You also need an outline for this.

If you’ve met those requirements, then decide what your model would be. You also need talent to learn to draw with a pencil. But that’s not as complicated as painting. But do not underestimate this art – many drawings are more beautiful than oil paintings. It is most important to have fun and create something. You can also get specialised literature and learn even more.
