1: If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. First prepare the tools for sketching, pencils (it is best to have both soft and hard pencils, I use HB, 2B, 8B), Paper and eraser

2: After you are ready, determine what you want to draw. For example, I want to draw a tiger, but there is no tiger in front of me as a reference. I can only find a photo of a tiger I like as a reference. Picture

3: Use a pencil to compose the picture on the paper and draw the approximate position and outline. At this time, you need to constantly explore the lines you draw, and use a neutral pencil that is neither soft nor hard, so don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Dare to write, and if necessary, you can use tools such as a pen eraser or your fingers to find the feeling

4: Draw a large relationship between light and dark. At this time, it is better to use a pencil with a softer core to find out the relationship between light and dark and the sense of layering. It opened up

5: Carry out in-depth characterization to find the characteristics of the tiger. Use a soft-core pencil to draw out the dark patterns and intervals, and then deeply depict the pattern, fur, etc. This is done with a hard lead pencil. Pencils are better and easier to express texture. At the same time, erasers are often used to enhance colors and erase the texture of fur

6: Finally, organize and emphasize the rhythm and layering of the picture. For example, the tiger's head needs to be drawn with emphasis, because a picture always has a visual center, and the visual center also has priorities. For example, the eyes on the tiger's face will be the most important. Finally, sign your name. A sketch was born.
